Can I Record a Cash or Bank Transfer Payment?

Tutonomi is designed as a card-only platform.

All lesson payments need to be made by card through the system. We don’t currently support recording cash or manual bank transfers.

Here’s why that’s intentional.

Why everything runs through card payments

Tutonomi is built to remove admin completely.

When every lesson is paid by card through the platform, we can:

• Charge automatically

• Retry failed payments

• Send reminder emails

• Keep your revenue tracking accurate

• Give you clean reporting

• Remove awkward chasing

If a pupil pays by bank transfer, the process becomes manual again.

You would need to:

• Create and send an invoice

• Ask them to make the transfer

• Check your bank to confirm it has arrived

• Follow up if it hasn’t

• Reconcile everything yourself

That is exactly the admin Tutonomi is designed to remove.

What if a pupil prefers bank transfer?

Some pupils may initially prefer bank transfer because it feels familiar.

However, card payments are:

• Secure

• Automatic

• Trackable

• Easier for everyone

We strongly recommend encouraging pupils to move to card payments so everything runs smoothly inside one system.

Most tutors find that once pupils understand the convenience, they are happy to use card payments.

The bigger picture

Tutonomi is free to use.

It’s funded through a small card processing fee when lessons are paid.

Keeping payments card-based allows the platform to stay:

• Fully automated

• Accurate

• Predictable

• Simple

One system. One source of truth. No spreadsheets.

That’s what makes it work.
