Tips to collect fees faster

1. Add a payment link or UPI ID in every reminder.
2. Send the first reminder a week early. Many parents plan payments around salary dates.
3. Personalise with the student's name and class. It shows the message is genuine.
4. Send between 10 AM and 7 PM when parents can act on it.
5. Confirm receipt after every payment, so parents are not chased again by mistake.
6. Automate with your school ERP or a Google Sheet through the SMS API.
