How do You collect money?

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask (sorry if not- I'm new!) but do any CMs, nurseries or after school clubs etc out there use any systems for collecting money from parents? I'm trying to think of a way to make things easier than just asking for cheques/cash. I've tried asking for bank transfers but I still need to chase them up. Just wondered what everyone does else in case I'm missing a trick-Thanks in advance!

So it's a term time toddler group. They email the cost at the end of term and we pay cash on the first class each half term for the whole half term. You can pay by chequered or bank transfer which has some complicated reference system so I don't bother.

I'm not sure what they do if someone doesn't pay.

Thanks, do you get an invoice each month or pay in advance? What would happen if you wanted extra sessions - how do they track payments?! Sorry for all the questions Grin

We just pay cash but I would be happy to pay by PayPal if it was an option
