Overview

Select the student for whom the payment will be made/Select_The_Student_For_Whom_The_Payment_Will_Be_Made is located in Financial Settings > General Settings > e-Payments > Quick Online Payments [Open Form]. It defines how a payer identifies which _Student_ they are paying for when using the quick online payment link.

What This Setting Does

By default, each _Student_ has their own dedicated quick payment link, so the system already knows who the payment is for. This setting lets the institution offer alternative ways for a payer to identify the _Student_ instead, such as entering a payment barcode or a student code, so that a single generic link can be used for multiple _Students_.

Where It Is Used

This is a public, link-based payment form and does not appear in the main application menu.

• This setting affects the identification step that a payer sees on the public Quick Online Payments form when opening the link, before the payment itself is completed.

Business Logic / Behavior

• This is a multi-select setting offering identification methods rather than a simple toggle.
• Each _Student_ has a dedicated payment link by default, but if a different option is chosen, users are allowed to enter a corresponding code, and based on that code the system determines which _Student_ the payment is for.
• The Payment Barcode option can only be used if the institution has already set up corresponding barcodes at the _Student_ level.
• Available options include: only via the dedicated link, by payment barcode, or by student code.

Example(s)

An Institute wants to print a single generic payment QR code on printed invoices rather than a unique link per _Student_. The administrator configures Select the student for whom the payment will be made to allow the student code option, so a parent who receives a printed invoice for a $275 tuition installment can scan the shared QR code, type in their _Student_’s code, for example 10457, and the system matches that code to the correct _Student_ before charging the $275 to the right account.

When to Use

Use this setting when the institution wants flexibility in how payers identify the _Student_ on the quick payment form, for example when using a single shared link or barcode system across many _Students_ instead of individual dedicated links. If barcodes are not configured at the _Student_ level, avoid enabling the Payment Barcode option since it will not function correctly.

Notes

• Prerequisites: Enable quick online payments [Open form]/Enable_Quick_Online_Payments_Open_Form must be turned on; using the Payment Barcode option additionally requires that barcodes be set up at the _Student_ level.
• Related settings: Enable quick online payments [Open form]/Enable_Quick_Online_Payments_Open_Form (Financial Settings > General Settings > e-Payments > Quick Online Payments [Open Form]); Quick Online Payments Link/Quick_Online_Payments_Link (Financial Settings > General Settings > e-Payments > Quick Online Payments [Open Form]).

K-12 vs Higher Education: This setting behaves the same regardless of whether Higher Education Mode (Enable Configuration for Higher Education/Xrisi_parametropoihshs_kolegiou) is enabled or disabled.
