Enhancement

Payments: sQuid Information page and payment options. As we approach sQuid’s closing date, a landing page has been implemented to give users information about the upcoming
changes. This landing page will also display a link to sQuid along with the school’s chosen payment provider, whether it is ParentPay, or another provider.

Payments: Custom payment links. A custom payments feature has been implemented as part of the Payment integration work. Within this feature schools can set up an admin log in link and a parent log in link that are accessible based on the permissions that are granted to the relevant roles. When the custom payment link is set up and enabled it is displayed as the payment option on the landing page and will direct parent/carers to the URL of their school’s chosen payment provider.

Payments: ParentPay Integration. The foundational elements of the ParentPay integration have been pushed live with this release. This involved important changes within Platform Admin, including, the introduction of a DfE number field on all entities, cron jobs to match RMP entities to ParentPay schools, and automatic user import/matching, and the addition of ParentPay as a payment option on the landing page when it is set up on the entity.
