Where tutoring billing breaks down
The day-to-day friction every tutoring owner recognizes.
Per-session fees collected manually = chase
Parent didn't pay at end-of-session = chase later. Saved card + auto-charge per session eliminates it.
Monthly packages billed inconsistently
Monthly package billing slips on busy weeks. Recurring auto-charge fixes it.
Drop-in fees vs package balance confusion
Without clear package decrement + drop-in line item, parents get confused on what they're paying for.
How Smarfle handles tutoring billing
Recurring billing, auto-charge saved cards, Stripe Connect with 0.5% platform fee, automatic overdue reminders.
Recurring billing on auto-pilot
Set up monthly, quarterly, or annual service plans. Customer signs up once, Smarfle bills the same card every cycle, no manual invoicing required.
Save card on file
Stripe Customer + saved payment method per client. After their first payment, future charges run off-session — no link to click, no card to re-enter.
Auto-charge saved cards
Daily cron auto-charges saved cards for recurring invoices. Owner gets confirmation email when payment lands; client gets a receipt. Failed cards trigger an email asking the client to update.
Stripe Connect (your account, not ours)
Money goes straight to your bank via Stripe Connect Express. We charge 0.5% platform fee on top of Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢. ACH for invoices over $1k drops to 0.8% (cap $5).
Automated overdue reminders
Smarfle auto-marks invoices overdue past due date and sends email reminders to the client. Workflow automation can fire SMS reminders too.
