Embedded in Helppo’s online classroom, the timer calculates payments based on the tutor’s rate Tutors can set up their per minute rate or at fixed increments of 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes on their tutor profiles —whatever works best for your business.
As the tutor, you can pause the timer when necessary. Once the lesson is complete, an invoice is sent to the student and parent’s email account. Parents can pay via PayPal or with a credit card via Stripe.
If your clients pay in advance of your classes, they will be sent a receipt after each session.
If your clients prefer to be invoiced, our system will automatically generate one based on your settings at the end of every class.
When you use Helppo, you won’t ever manually create a receipt or invoice ever again.
