Your step by step guide to get online payments set up for your SchoolsBuddy account
- Email Introduction
You will receive an email from us, to introduce you to our Amazon Payment Services (APS) onboarding contact. You will need to reply with the following information:-
- Number of students enrolled
- Tuition Fees per year (SAR)
- Frequency of Payments per customer (Monthly/Quarterly)
- Expected Online Card Volume monthly (SAR)
- Ratio of Local vs International card transactions %
- Current Online/POS Service Provider if any
- APS Initial Contact and Proposal
Amazon Payment Services will then arrange a suitable time with you to discuss your requirements. Following this, they will request particulars about your organisation, and then provide a commercial proposal and set your account up using the Merchant Page Model.

Bank Rate
APS will negotiate with the bank and confirm the rates to you, along with the formal proposal and KYC requirements.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE - If you already have an Amazon account for taking payments for another reason such as Tuition Fees you will need a sub-account for processing fees with SchoolsBuddy. You will need to ask Amazon to set up the sub-account for you. If it is a sub-account you should not need a new agreement with Amazon to do this - they should be able to add this for you fairly quickly.
