Set Your Default Payment Method (ACH Or Credit Card)

This guide walks parents through how to set ACH (bank transfer) or a credit card as their default payment method. Once set, all future payments will automatically use this method unless you choose otherwise at checkout.

Step 1: Open Your Payment Profile

Log into the app as a parent.
In the top-right corner, click the dollar icon.
You’ll land on your Payment Profile.
Click Manage Payment Profile.

Step 2: View Your Current Default Payment Method

At the top of your payment methods list, you’ll see which method is currently marked as Default.
This could be a credit card or ACH/bank account, depending on what you’ve previously selected.

Step 3: Change the Default Payment Method (If Already on File)

If you already have multiple payment methods saved:

Find the payment method you want to use as your default.
Click the three dots (⋯) next to that payment method.
Select Make Default.

✅ That’s it — your selection is now the default payment method.

All future payments will automatically use this method unless you manually choose a different one during checkout.

Step 4: Add a New Payment Method and Set It as Default

If the payment method you want isn’t on file yet:

Under Payment Methods, click + Add Payment Method.
Enter the required details (for example: card number, expiration date, security code, and country)
Before clicking Add, check Use as default payment method.
Click Add to save.

Step 5: Confirm Your Default Payment Method

After adding or updating, return to your Payment Profile.
You should now see the new method labeled as Default.

You’re all set! 🎉

Helpful Notes

You can change your default payment method anytime.
Setting a default helps avoid missed or delayed payments.
You can still choose a different payment method manually for one‑time payments if needed.
