Online Payment FAQs
-
Can each parent/guardian have a separate account?
Yes. School Cash Online is designed for parents/guardians to have individual accounts. The student can be added to a maximum of five different accounts. Once a field trip or activity has been purchased, it will disappear from the other account(s) to avoid duplicate purchases.
-
What methods of payment are available?
Payments can be made by eCheck and Credit Card (Visa or Mastercard). For security reasons, School Cash Online does not store credit card or bank account information. Payment information must be entered at each checkout.
-
What is eCheck?
An eCheck is an electronic version of a paper check used to make online payments. Anyone with a checking/savings account can pay by eCheck through School Cash Online. When paying with an eCheck, the transaction will be held as pending until the electronic funds have cleared your bank. For security reasons, School Cash Online does not store your eCheck information. Therefore, parents must enter this information at each check out.

-
Do I need to re-register a student that moves to a different school?
No. If the student is moving to another school within JMCSS, the items for the student will automatically be updated to reflect the new school. If the student is moving to a different school system, the student will be de-activated from School Cash Online.
-
I received a rejected payment notification email, what do I do?
There are two reasons for a rejected payment:
- The incorrect bank account information was entered when paying by eCheck.
- There were insufficient funds.
When a rejected payment occurs, both the parent and the school are notified by email.
Should this occur, the parent must log back in and re-submit payment for the item.
If you no longer wish to purchase an item for which the payment has been rejected, please contact the main office to have the item deleted.
