How to Set Up and Manage Autopay

Written by Justin

Setting up autopay ensures you never miss a payment. Once you’ve signed your contract and paid the deposit, you can log into your Clarity account to manage payment methods and enroll in autopay at any time. Either guardian can set up autopay for tuition or incidentals.

How to Enable Autopay

You can enable autopay separately for tuition payments and incidental payments.

  1. Log in to your Clarity account.

  2. Click on Payments in the menu, then select Settings.

  3. Locate the Autopay section.

  4. Toggle the switch to enable autopay for each individual student.

How to Disable Autopay

If you'd like to opt out of autopay, go to Payments>Settings and toggle it off (the toggle will appear grey when disabled). Once autopay is turned off, you'll need to submit payments manually going forward. You'll continue to receive reminder notifications whether or not you're enrolled in autopay.


How Does Autopay Work?

  • Once enabled, funds will be withdrawn 4 days before the invoice due date.

  • You will receive an email notification before the withdrawal occurs.

  • Payments are processed using the saved payment method in Clarity.

What Happens if Autopay Fails?

  • You’ll get an email notification letting you know of the failure. A returned payment fee may apply for ACH failures. Clarity won’t retry the payment, so you will need to go to Payments>Due to pay manually and update your payment method.

Important: If a partial payment is made on an invoice before the autopay withdrawal date, autopay will fail. Autopay requires the full invoice amount to still be due in order to process successfully.

Tuition & Incidental Payments

  • Tuition: Autopay covers recurring tuition payments based on your selected tuition payment plan.

  • Incidentals: Autopay covers any additional costs incurred throughout the year, excluding tuition. This may include fees for extracurricular activities, meal plans, aftercare programs, and other school-related expenses.

If you need to update your payment method or make manual payments, you can do so anytime in the Payments section of your account.

Setting Up Autopay Preferences

Please Note: If one guardian has already enrolled in autopay for a given category, the other can not set it up. Once enrolled, only the person who set it up can make changes, while both guardians can see that autopay is active.
