Be Paid is Blossom’s tried and trusted path to getting your parents’ invoices paid faster. It’s a mobile payments system powered by Stripe, and means all parents need to do to settle an invoice is a few taps on their phone. Considering if they’ve got the Blossom Parent App they’ll get notified of invoices when they’re delivered, it’s a no-brainer to include Be Paid into the mix.
What is Blossom's BE Paid?
Be Paid is a mobile payments system designed for nurseries using Blossom’s nursery management software. Using Stripe, Be Paid empowers you to build a more profitable business by reducing the number of invoices that slip into debt.

Simple payment reporting
You can easily see what Be Paid has made your nursery with Blossom’s intuitive payments reporting, offering detailed insights into recurring fee payments, payment statuses and payout transactions.
What does Be Paid cost?
Be Paid costs £50 per month if you pay monthly, though you save a little bit each month if you pay annually (the same is true for Blossom as a whole). £50 to Be Paid quickly, predictably and securely by parents, with all notifications and logs automated in Blossom for your convenience.
There’s a tiny transaction fee on top, the same as you might get if you accepted in-person card payments (did you know shops pay card companies a little when you pay by card?). But this gets paid automatically and is a percentage of the payment, 1.45% + 0.08p per transaction and 0.45% for direct debits, so not something you need to worry about the admin of.
So, in summary, to get Be Paid you need Blossom, the only all-in-one nursery management software designed and built by nursery owners. And to add Be Paid’s mobile payments to your Blossom platform and Parent App, simply get in contact and we’ll get it set up for you. Easy!
