Managing tuition and incidental charges can be a complex process for schools, but Blackbaud Billing Management is changing the game with its flexible autopay solutions. Drawing from the latest tip sheet, here are five reasons why schools are choosing Blackbaud for a smarter, more streamlined billing experience. 

1. Separate Configuration for Different Charge Types 

Blackbaud Billing Management allows schools to configure payment plans and incidental charges independently. This means each type of billing follows its own setup, reducing confusion and ensuring clarity for both administrators and families. 

2. Scheduled Payment Dates for Predictability 

Incidental payments are processed on predefined schedules, typically aligned with the school’s billing cycles. This predictability helps administrators and families plan ahead—while still allowing for customized scheduling options. 

3. Flexible Charge Due Dates Within the Billing Cycle 

Administrators can adjust processing dates on a case-by-case basis, whether for scheduled payments or incidental charges. If a family needs to postpone a tuition payment, the system makes it easy to update payment dates and accommodate changing needs. 

4. Intuitive Navigation for Administrators 

Autopay configuration is designed to be clear and step-by-step, empowering administrators to review, confirm, and update payment settings with confidence. Options are organized for maximum clarity and ease of use. 

5. Continuous Enhancement Based on School Feedback 

Blackbaud is committed to innovation, rolling out new features in response to direct client feedback. The system evolves to meet real-world needs, maintaining reliability and stability. The early adopter program ensures that enhancements—like incidental autopay—are built to answer the requests of billing professionals.
