Set up Stripe and start autopay

Cubby takes tuition payments through Stripe. Cubby creates a Stripe account in your center's name, and Stripe pays out to your center's bank account. Only the center's owner can set it up.

1. Open Billing

   In the Manager Console (the grid icon at the top of the Today tab), tap Billing. Stripe Status shows where setup stands: Not Configured, Pending, Restricted or Complete.

2. Enter your tax ID

   Enter your center's EIN and tap Save and Register with Stripe. Cubby creates a Stripe Standard account in your center's name.

3. Finish signing up with Stripe

   Tap Complete Stripe Signup. Stripe's own sign-up pages open, where you add your business details and the bank account for payouts. When you're done, come back to Cubby and tap the refresh button next to Stripe Status. It shows Complete once Stripe has everything it needs.

   If Stripe asks for more details later, the status changes and the same button takes you back to finish.

4. Add weekly tuition plans

   Tap Open Stripe Dashboard. In Stripe, add a weekly subscription for each family's tuition, using the email address the family uses for Cubby.

   Cubby picks up each new subscription and moves it onto Cubby's Friday billing run, so families are charged every Friday for the following week.

How families pay

Families save a card or bank account in Stripe's secure billing portal, right from the Cubby app. Add or change your payment method →

Once tuition is running, see what's been collected in the billing dashboard. Use the billing dashboard →
