How to Assign Yourself as a Child’s Payer in Onespot
Assigning yourself as a child’s payer connects your payment profile to that child’s billing account. Once assigned, invoices for the child can be sent to you and managed through the Billing & Payments section of your school’s Onespot app.
Assign Yourself as the Payer
- Open your school’s Onespot app.
- Tap the dollar bill icon in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
- This opens Billing & Payments.
- Scroll to the Children section.
- Find the child who shows No payment profile assigned.
- Tap Assign Myself beside the child’s name.
- Review the confirmation message, then confirm that you want to assign your payment profile to the child.
Your payment profile will now be used for that child’s billing account.
What Happens After You Assign Yourself?
Once you are assigned as the payer:
- New invoices for the child can be sent to your payment profile.
- You can view and pay the child’s invoices from Billing & Payments.
- Any invoices that were waiting for a payer may be created and sent to you.
Using a Bank Account for ACH Discounts
When available, paying with a linked bank account may qualify for an ACH discount.
To receive an applicable ACH discount on an invoice awaiting payment, add your bank account and set it as your default payment method before assigning yourself to the child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t I see the Assign Myself button?
The button only appears for children who do not currently have a payment profile assigned. Contact your school if you believe the wrong person is assigned as the payer.
Can more than one person assign themselves as the payer?
A child uses one assigned payment profile for billing. Contact your school if your family needs a different billing arrangement.
Will I be charged immediately after assigning myself?
Assigning yourself connects your payment profile to the child. It does not automatically charge your payment method. However, invoices that were waiting for a payer may be created and sent to you after the assignment.
Where can I view the child’s invoices?
Open Billing & Payments and scroll to the invoices section to view invoices associated with your payment profile.
