Campus Marketplace and Invoicing

Campus Marketplace and Invoicing

Marketplace for Campus and Groups, and On-line Invoicing

Every campus has many different departments, fundraisers, organizations and groups that need to collect fees, fines, and invoice users and groups. IDentifyED provides an amazing platform for campuses of all kinds.

So, the campus security department asked if we can create a platform for them to collect fees for parking, auto registration and possibly charge for some fines. We looked at the Whole Campus and said, “Sure, but can we do it for every department and every organization on campus?”

So, we built a very cool invoicing and marketplace solution for an entire campus. Each Department or Group on Campus can create it’s own set of products. Products can be a fundraiser, an article of clothing, a ticket, a fee, a fine, a subscription or pretty much anything that you can imagine.

Marketplaces are organized by groups. What is a group? A group can be a department, the whole campus, an athletic team, a non-profit organization or even a group formed for a special purpose like a trip or a specific mission.

Once you start using IDentifyED you will realize how powerful groups are and the amazing amount of powerful features that exist inside our Group Management System.

So, the security department wanted really a fee and fine system, and that really meant that they wanted to create invoices to users, and they wanted those users to be able to go on-line and pay the invoice. You can create any product that includes a fine or fee.

You can put that product on your group marketplace, which also allows you to put your products on the campus marketplace.

Also, you can simply create a product select a user or a group or users and invoice them.

The invoice shows up in their invoice box, they get a message about the invoice as well. They are able to select the invoice and pay the invoice with their credit card or bank account online immediately!

If you are worried about all the accounting, don’t. It’s easy! We allow every group to either use a common Stripe Account or create their own Stripe account. Each product sale is accounted by Stripe account, by product and by user. All the work is done for you! You can allocate a Stripe account to a specific bank account and bam the money is dropped into the account.

Best part is this whole infrastructure costs your campus, nothing.

How! We allow you to add the marketplace fee along with the credit card processing fee to the cost of the product or, you can make those a separate line item on the invoice, either way, you control all of that!
