On-line Tutoring Payment Methods?...

[Mick786]

Hi guys,

Do you think parents nowadays will use the following payment method(s), to pay for their child or learners tutoring sessions online?...

1. Pre-Authorised Payment: Where the parents books the session on-line and c/card or d/card details are taken, pre-authorised and I would then post-authorise that myself at the end of the week. If the learner had booked 2 weeks advance, after post-authorising the payment for the first week, the second week, send an email to make a manual payment...

2. Recurring Payment: Where end of the week, depending what the amount is (amount will vary each week), payment is taken automatically. Here I would have to send email invoice to the parents outlining the summary of tutoring sessions that took place and the amount that will be taken out of the account. Other payment options will be provided, like use an alternative c/card or d/card instead is they wish...

Do you think parents will be put off in any of the ways using these methods of taking a payments? or is there a better way to make the payment experience better?

Thank you for your input.
