Offline fees shouldn't mean offline chaos

Most coaching centres collecting fees offline still rely on WhatsApp and spreadsheets. That breaks quickly.

😩

Students sending payment screenshots to your personal WhatsApp that you forget about

😤

Manually updating a spreadsheet every time someone pays — and still making mistakes

😰

No record of who you already credited sessions to after approving payment

😶

Parents asking "has my payment been verified?" when you have no quick way to check

Pedagio gives offline payments the same structure as online ones.

Student & Parent Payments

From payment to session credit — in four steps

Students submit proof in the app. You verify once. Sessions are credited automatically. Nothing falls through the cracks.

1

Student pays via UPI or bank

Student or parent transfers the fee using any UPI app, net banking, or hands over cash — whatever works for them.

2

Submits proof in the app

They enter the transaction reference number and upload a screenshot or PDF of the payment. No WhatsApp needed.

3

You review and approve

The payment appears in your dashboard. Cross-check the reference with your records, then click Approve in one tap.

4

Sessions credited instantly

The moment you approve, the session pack is added to the student's balance. They can start booking immediately.

Owner dashboard

Everything you need to verify and track offline payments

Your payments dashboard gives you full visibility — pending approvals, proof documents, and a complete history for every student.

Pending payments queue

Every unverified submission appears in a dedicated Pending tab. The count shows on your dashboard so you never miss one waiting.

Proof at a glance

View the uploaded screenshot or PDF right in the approval panel — no downloading, no switching apps. Approve or reject with one click.

Reject with a reason

If the reference doesn't match or the proof is unclear, reject it with a note. Students are notified and can resubmit with correct details.

Per-student payment history

Every payment — approved, pending, or rejected — is logged against the student's profile with a timestamp and session credit record.

Full payment ledger

Filter the payments table by status, student, group, or date range. Export or review totals by month to reconcile with your bank account.

Parent payments tracked too

When a parent pays on behalf of their child, the payment is linked to the correct student — no manual matching needed.

Track payments to your teachers — offline too

Most coaching institutes pay their teachers in cash, by UPI, or bank transfer. Currently those payments live in a WhatsApp message or a mental note. We're bringing the same structured approval flow to owner-to-teacher payments.

Soon

Log teacher payments

Record every payment you make to a teacher — amount, method, reference, and date. Attach a screenshot if you have one.

Soon

Teacher earnings ledger

Teachers see their own earnings history in their dashboard — what they're owed, what's been paid, and what's pending.

Soon

Reconcile in one place

Your payments dashboard shows money flowing in from students and out to teachers — a complete financial picture of your academy.

Want to be notified when this launches?

We'll send you an email the moment teacher payment tracking goes live. No spam — just one notification.

If your students pay offline, this is for you

Pedagio works for every coaching context where cash and UPI are the norm.

🏫

Coaching institutes

Large centres with many students paying cash monthly — structured approval beats a WhatsApp group.

👩‍🏫

Solo tutors

Collect fees by UPI without chasing students or maintaining a spreadsheet.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parent-heavy academies

Parents prefer bank transfer — give them a proper process instead of texting you directly.

🏘️

Small-town academies

Online payment gateways are overkill. Cash and UPI are the norm — Pedagio works with that.

📐

Exam prep centres

Batch fees paid at the start of the month — track who's paid, who hasn't, without a register.

🎵

Hobby & skill classes

Music, art, dance — casual payments that still need to be tracked and matched to sessions.

FAQ

Questions about offline payments

Everything you need to know before you get started.

No. Offline payment collection works without any payment gateway configuration. Students submit their UPI reference and a screenshot of the transfer, and you approve it from your dashboard. Sessions are credited the moment you approve. You can also enable online payment later alongside offline if you want both options.

Any method that produces a reference number or proof of transfer works — UPI (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS, RTGS, bank transfer, or even cash with a handwritten receipt photographed. Students enter the reference number and upload the proof. You verify it matches your records and approve.

When a student submits an offline payment, it appears in your Payments tab marked as "Pending". You can see the amount, the session pack they selected, their transaction reference, and their uploaded proof (screenshot or PDF). Once you confirm it matches your bank or UPI history, click Approve — sessions are instantly credited to the student.

You can reject a payment and optionally add a reason — for example, if the reference number doesn't match or the screenshot is unclear. The student is notified and can resubmit with the correct details. No sessions are credited until you explicitly approve.

Yes. When a parent is linked to a student's account, they can log in, open the payment page, select which child they are paying for, choose a session pack, and submit the offline payment with proof. The approval workflow is the same — you approve, and sessions are credited to the child's account.

Yes. You can add payment instructions to your academy settings — your UPI ID, bank account details, or any other instructions. Students see these prominently on the payment page before they transfer money, so they always know exactly where to send it.

No limit. All pending payments are listed in your dashboard with the newest first. You can approve or reject them individually. The pending count is shown on your dashboard so you never miss one.

Owner-to-teacher payment tracking is on our roadmap. When it launches, you will be able to log a payment made to a teacher — amount, reference, and proof — and it will appear in both your ledger and the teacher's earnings history. We'll notify all academy owners when it goes live.
