Can I Record a Cash or Bank Transfer Payment?

Tutonomi is designed exclusively around card payments, and offline payments such as cash or bank transfer are not supported.

This is intentional.

We appreciate this means you may have to change the way in which you bill your pupils, but honestly it's better for both you and your pupils to do it this way.

Card payments through Tutonomi mean you never have to chase invoices, follow up on bank transfers, or keep track of who's paid and who hasn't. Everything is collected automatically, recorded in one place, and visible at a glance from your Billing page. It's one of the biggest time-savers Tutonomi offers.

When pupils pay outside of Tutonomi, that payment isn't recorded anywhere in your account. Your billing history will show the lesson as unpaid, your reports won't reflect the income, and you lose all the automation that makes managing payments straightforward.

If a pupil prefers not to pay by card, it's worth having a conversation about the benefits — for them as well as for you. Payments are handled securely, their card details are encrypted and never shared, and they're never charged without prior agreement.

Plus they don't have the hassle of having to manually pay you every lesson.

Good to know

• Pupils add their card details during the onboarding process, which is triggered as soon as you add their email to Tutonomi — it takes less than 15 seconds and only needs to be done once.

• If a pupil is hesitant about adding a card, you can resend their onboarding invitation from the Pupils page.
