You can now receive tuition by card.

When we launched version 1.0 on October 9, card payment for tuition was still in preparation. Since October 14, you can receive tuition by card.

Tuition goes straight to your own bank account. Aiyori does not hold tuition and never receives card numbers.

Getting started

• Connect your own Stripe account in “Settings” on the teacher screen.
• Set up your tuition menu, the invoice date and the billing day.
• When you set a student’s tuition to card, a link appears to the page where the guardian registers a card.
• The guardian opens the link and registers a card. No login is needed.

After that, it runs by itself

• On the morning of the invoice date, the guardian gets an email about the bill. On the billing day, the registered card is charged.
• Aiyori issues the invoice (PDF) in your classroom’s name, with the issuer’s name and address.
• If a charge fails, the guardian is told, and we try again 3 and 7 days later. On the “Invoices and payment” page on the web, guardians can pay or change their card.
• Even if tuition stays unpaid, nothing is paused automatically. It appears in your To Do, and you decide.

Good to know

You pay the card processing fees directly to Stripe. For students who pay by bank transfer or in cash, you can keep using “Mark as paid”. Card registration and payment happen on the web, not in the iPhone and iPad app.

The user guide explains how to connect, one slide at a time.

Aiyori costs ¥400 per person per month in Japan, or US$2.99 outside Japan (tax included), guardians are free, and you can start free for 30 days after creating your classroom.
