AutoPay vs Payment Links
UPI AutoPay FAQ
What is UPI AutoPay for fee collection?
UPI AutoPay (also called eNACH or UPI mandate) lets institutes collect recurring fees without any manual action. The payer (student/parent/member) authorizes a recurring mandate once via any UPI app. From the next due date onwards, the fee is automatically debited from their account on the scheduled date — no reminder needed, no payment link to share, no follow-up calls.
How does FastFee implement UPI AutoPay?
FastFee sends a mandate setup link via WhatsApp to the student or parent. They open it in their UPI app (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, etc.), review the amount and schedule, and authorize with their UPI PIN. FastFee then auto-debits on every due date. One-time setup, zero manual work every month.
Which sectors can use UPI AutoPay for fee collection?
FastFee's UPI AutoPay works for: coaching institutes (monthly batch fees), schools (monthly tuition), gyms (membership fees), housing societies (maintenance dues), NBFCs and lending firms (EMI collection), rental management (monthly rent), and any business with recurring collection.
What happens if the AutoPay debit fails?
If a UPI AutoPay debit fails (insufficient balance, mandate expired, etc.), FastFee automatically sends a WhatsApp notification to the payer. It then retries on the next working day. Repeated failures escalate to a follow-up reminder sequence. FastFee also lets you record a Promise-to-Pay (PTP) date for structured recovery.
Can UPI AutoPay be set up for different amounts each month?
UPI AutoPay mandates have a maximum amount. FastFee sets the mandate at the maximum fee amount for that student/member. For months with lower fees, only the actual amount is debited — not the full mandate cap. This covers scenarios like late-joiner prorated fees or month-specific charges.
Is UPI AutoPay better than payment links for fee collection?
Yes, significantly. Payment links require institute staff to send a link every month, and parents must actively click and pay. AutoPay is zero-touch once set up — no link to send, no follow-up, auto-debit on due date. For recurring monthly fees, AutoPay eliminates 80-90% of the monthly collection effort.
Does FastFee charge a percentage of each AutoPay transaction?
No. FastFee does not take a percentage cut on fees collected via UPI AutoPay. You pay a flat subscription for the platform. Every rupee your students pay goes directly to your account. Compare this to payment gateways and some fee platforms that charge 1-2% per transaction — on ₹10 lakh collected annually, that is ₹10,000-20,000 extra cost.
How does FastFee's AutoPay compare to Jodo Collect?
Both FastFee and Jodo Collect offer UPI AutoPay. FastFee's advantages: works across multiple sectors (not just education), no per-transaction fee cut, includes Promise-to-Pay tracking, supports offline/cash recording alongside AutoPay, and is designed for small-to-mid institutes with same-day onboarding. Jodo targets large enterprise education institutes.
