Parents pay without signing up

Used by schools, clubs and parent groups across the UK.

If you're organising a school trip, this probably sounds familiar:

  • Chasing parents for payments as the trip deadline gets closer
  • Collecting and reconciling cash or cheques
  • Unclear who's paid without checking spreadsheets or paper lists
  • Last-minute payments that complicate booking numbers
  • Spending admin time tracking payments instead of planning the trip

How it works

Three steps to collect trip payments

Create a payment link

Set the trip amount and a clear payment deadline so you know exactly who is confirmed.

Share with parents

Send the link by email, letter or your usual communication channel. Parents pay without creating an account.

See who's paid instantly

Your dashboard shows confirmed payments at a glance. Fewer reminders, less admin.

Why it works for school trips

  • One link per trip; all payments in one place
  • Clear view of who has paid for planning and confirmations
  • No cash or cheques to collect and bank
  • Set deadlines to avoid last-minute uncertainty
  • Reduce admin time spent chasing payments

Why not just collect cash or bank transfers?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Do parents need to create an account to pay?

    No. Only the organiser needs a Kollect account to create the payment link. Parents simply open the link and pay.

  • What’s the best way to collect money for a school trip?

    The simplest way is to create a single payment link, set the amount and deadline, and share it with parents. This avoids cash handling and reduces admin.

  • Can we use Kollect for multiple school trips?

    Yes. Create a separate collection for each trip. Each has its own link, amount and deadline.

  • Is it safe for school use?

    Payments are processed securely. You control the link and can see who has paid. No sensitive payment details are stored beyond what is required for the transaction.
