Educators can bulk pay for entries via the portal. However, payment methods vary according to region.
All educators can pay for multiple works using a credit or debit card. This does not generate an invoice. To do so, please follow the following steps:
- Go to the Work tab of your online portal.
- Checkmark each work you wish to pay for.
- Click the change payment button located above the table of works.
- Select to pay via credit or debit card or select “I qualify for a fee waiver.”
- If paying via card, you will be brought to Stripe, a third party payment platform.
To pay by check, you will need to generate an invoice. Not all regions accept payment by check. If you do not see the payment option “Invoice (or educator paying by cash, check, etc.)”, then your region does not accept check payment.
If you DO see that option, you can bulk pay via check after generating an invoice. Follow steps 1-3 above and then, instead of selecting credit/debit card, click Invoice. This will give you the option to either generate a new invoice or add works to an already existing one. You can access invoices on the Invoice tab of your dashboard.
To remove work from the invoice, click on the invoice number to open the edit page. Use the checkbox to select the works, then select “Remove from Invoice.”
Important: As soon as you add an entry to an invoice, it will be marked as paid in the portal. You will still need to print off the invoice and send it, along with payment, to your regional Affiliate.
