Tuition: bill a flat fee for a season or every month (Pro)

Tuition is a flat fee for a stretch of time. Set the dates and the amount, and every lesson in those dates is covered: it never goes on an invoice of its own. Lessons outside the dates bill per lesson, the same as always, so you can have some students on tuition and others paying per lesson. Tuition is on Pro.

Steps

Open a student and go to Billing. In the Tuition card, choose Add tuition.
Give it a name families will recognise, like Fall semester. It is shown on the invoice.
Choose One-time for a season or semester, or Recurring to bill the same amount every month, quarter or year.
Enter the amount and the dates. A one-time tuition needs an end date. A recurring one can run until you end it.
Choose Add and send to email the invoice now, or Save as draft to keep it on Billing and send it later.

Good to know

You can also start from Billing: choose Create invoice, then Tuition as the invoice type, and tick the students it is for. The Automatic tab there lists every tuition, and every student whose lessons bill themselves, with when each next invoice goes out.
To set up many students at once, open Students, tick them, and choose Add tuition in the bar at the top. Anyone who already has tuition on those dates is skipped, and the list says who.
A recurring tuition makes its next invoice on the day each month, quarter or year begins. It is emailed for you only if that student's invoices are set to send automatically.
Missed and cancelled lessons stay covered by the tuition. There is no credit for them.
Need to charge something extra, like a recital fee? Use Create invoice with Manual amount.
To stop a tuition early, choose End and pick the last day it covers. Lessons after that day bill per lesson again. Change updates the name, amount or end date; invoices a family has already been sent stay as they were.
You can delete a tuition only while none of its invoices has been sent. After that, end it instead.
In a studio with teammates, owners and admins can add tuition for any student. A teacher with a seat can add it for their own students if you turn on Let them invoice their own students in Settings, under Payments.
