CoFee Collect v/s fee challan for school fee collection

Fee collection is still a nightmare for many schools.

It’s the start of a new academic year that brings excitement. Fresh books, crisp uniforms, and eager students. But for parents and school administrators, there’s one thing that hasn’t changed: the hassle of paying and collecting school fees.

For years, schools used the eChallan system, which often created more problems than solutions. Parents had to log into portals, the challan portals of banks, where they enter the student’s details manually. After several clicks through a less intuitive interface, the chances of getting a failed transaction are not zero.

Mistakes happened, deadlines were missed, and payments got delayed. Meanwhile, school administrators spent hours tracking payments, handling complaints, and fixing errors.

With a new academic year, this would be the best time to switch to a complete and smart fee management system, CoFee, and streamline all the fee-related tasks.

Let’s understand how CoFee does it better than traditional fee challan when it comes to school fee collection.

A smarter way to pay and collect fees

Meet CoFee Collect, the game-changing fee collection system that makes fee payments effortless for parents and stress-free for schools. Instead of going through complicated portals, parents get a simple payment link on WhatsApp on the fee payment due date. One tap, and the payment is done—no searching, no typos, no frustration.

For schools, this means no more manual tracking, no more missed payments, and no more follow-ups with parents. CoFee Collect automates the entire process so that administrators can focus on what truly matters – quality education.

No more payment failures or double charges

In the past, online payments were a headache. Transactions failed, payments got stuck, and some parents ended up paying twice because of technical glitches and bugs. Schools struggled to reconcile records, leading to confusion and frustration. All this happened because the channel they preferred for online payments was not dedicated to solving the fee collection challenges.

That’s where CoFee shines with its intuitive and smart software that is designed to solve specific problems with school fee collection.

With CoFee Collect, payments are fast, secure, and instantly reflected in the school’s system. No more failed transactions, no extra charges—just smooth and reliable fee collection.

Real support, not endless waiting

Parents and school staff know the pain of dealing with slow, unresponsive customer service. Before CoFee Collect, getting help for payment issues often meant waiting in long queues. For payment issues, parents might need to visit a bank or contact their customer service, which is a headache.

Schools collect the payments by directly visiting the bank. This is an extra effort, and the chances of errors are higher.

But with CoFee, help is just a call away. CoFee Collect provides real human support, ensuring quick and effective solutions for both schools and parents. No endless wait times—a team that is ready to assist you anytime.

Easy for everyone, even the least tech-savvy

Not everyone is comfortable with online payments, especially those who aren’t tech-savvy. Traditional fee portals required logging in, entering multiple details, and verifying payments—a process that often felt overwhelming. Parents feel reluctant to make online payments since the process of challan payments is difficult.

CoFee Collect simplifies everything. One click, one payment, and it’s done. Even parents who struggle with technology can use it effortlessly. Since the payment link reaches the parents’ WhatsApp and SMS, there is no need to manually enter the student’s details or log in to any platform. They can open the link and pay using UPI, credit card or debit, netbanking, etc.

More than just school fees

Schools don’t just collect tuition fees; they also manage payments for events, workshops, and activities. Tracking these payments manually is time-consuming and inefficient.

CoFee Events, the event registration and ticketing platform from CoFee comes to the rescue.

With CoFee Events, schools can host events, collect participants' information, send tickets, and collect payments. The ticket verification through QR code scanning makes it even greater. Parents can pay for school events and receive digital tickets instantly. One platform, multiple solutions—everything schools need in one place.
