    1. The Recurring Defaults from the System Config > Auto-Pay screen must be setup. Once setup is complete, the defaults will be set on the Family Record > Auto-Pay tab under the billing schedule if you choose to save payment method from registration.
    2. During new family registration, credit card information can be saved for future auto-payments depending on your "Capture Credit Card as AutoPay" choice on the System Config > Registration tile.  
      • When "Yes" is selected, parents are required to check the box to authorize the center to store the payment method for future auto-payments. Registration cannot be completed without checking the box. 
      • When "No" is selected, there is no checkbox for the parent, the payment method will not be saved, and the registration can be completed. 
      • "Optional" allows parents to have the choice to save their payment method, but it is not required. Registration can be completed without checking the box.
  • For Tuition Express customers only, the "New Family Registration Credit Charge" field has been moved from the General Config tile to the Registration tile and an option for "Charge on Approval" has been added at the business level. When selecting Charge on Approval, the payment method will be charged when the center approves the registration. [DCW-2849, DCW-2850, DCW-2900]
