How to set your preferred payment method when your provider uses Kinside to process tuition payments.

Your provider is using Kinside to process tuition payments. This article walks you through setting up automatic monthly payments on your preferred payment method.

This article is for parents of child care providers who have chosen to use Kinside to process all of their tuition collections. 

Electronic Payments

Your child care provider has enabled online payments via Kinside, which makes it easy for parents to pay on time and hassle-free. Once you link your payment method of choice, tuition payments will be pulled automatically on the same date monthly. You don't need to do anything!  You'll receive a reminder email a few days before. 

How to set your preferred payment method: 

1. Log into your Kinside account by going to www.kinside.com. 

2. Click the profile icon in the upper-right hand corner of the page. 
   
3. Scroll down to the page to the "Payment methods" section and click "+ Add a new payment method".
