Book a demoWhat the Stripe integration does
RollCall integrates with Stripe to collect bus fare payments from parents securely. Charges are presented at checkout and payment status flows back to RollCall in real time, keeping parent balances and finance reconciliation accurate, with funds settling directly to your account.
Data flow
Two-way syncRollCall Pay uses your own Stripe account. Parents check out on Stripe's hosted payment page, and payment status flows back to RollCall so balances stay accurate, and funds settle directly to your account.

- Bus fares enabled on your RollCall account
- Administrator access to connect the account
Setup
Create or connect your Stripe account
Set up a Stripe merchant account (or use your existing one) and generate the API credentials RollCall Pay needs to process fare payments.
Connect in RollCall
Enter your Stripe credentials in RollCall Pay's settings. Because you connect your own account, funds settle directly to you, so RollCall never holds parent money.
Run a test transaction
Process a small test payment to confirm the connection, then enable fare payments for parents.
