Fees & invoices

Nursery fees and invoicing software: every invoice, every reminder, one clear record

Generate the month's invoices in one click, send reminders automatically, and mark each fee as received when the money reaches you — cash, bank transfer or InstaPay. Parents see every invoice and what's still due in their app.

Included in the Standard and Professional plans

How fees work in LumiNest

The routine most nurseries already follow — without the notebook and the end-of-month phone calls.

Generate the month's invoices

One click creates an invoice for each child, with the amount the nursery set. No retyping names every month.

Reminders go out automatically

Parents with an unpaid invoice get a reminder in the parent app. Nobody on your team has to chase them one by one.

Mark it as received

When the money reaches you — cash at the desk, a bank transfer or InstaPay — you mark the invoice as received. Your records match reality.

Card payment inside the app: coming soon

We'd rather be straight with you: parents can't pay by card inside LumiNest yet. Today they pay the nursery the way they already do, and you record the payment in one tap. That keeps your records accurate whatever the payment method.

What the parent sees

  • Every invoice for their child in the parent app — no paper slips.
  • What's still due, and what's already marked as received.
  • A polite reminder from the nursery instead of an awkward message at the gate.

What the director sees

  • Who has paid and who hasn't this month, per child.
  • A record of every payment received, including cash and transfers made outside the app.
  • Collection reports — and on Professional, a comparison across branches.

Why "mark as received" beats a payment button you don't have yet

In most Egyptian nurseries, fees arrive in more than one way: some parents pay cash at the desk, some send a bank transfer, many use InstaPay. A system that only knows about card payments would leave most of your money invisible.

LumiNest starts from how parents actually pay. The invoice is created for every child, the reminder goes out on time, and the moment you receive the money — however it arrived — you mark it. At the end of the month your list of unpaid invoices is the real list, not a guess.

Fees and invoicing questions

Can parents pay fees by card through the app?

Not yet. Today LumiNest generates the invoice and sends the reminders, and you mark the fee as received once the money reaches you — cash, transfer or InstaPay. Card payment inside the app is coming soon.

Do I have to create each invoice by hand?

No. You generate the whole month's invoices in one click — one invoice per child — and reminders are sent automatically.

Which payment methods can I record?

Any payment that reaches the nursery outside the app: cash, bank transfer, InstaPay. You mark the invoice as received, so your records stay accurate.

Can parents see their invoices?

Yes. Each parent sees every invoice for their own child and what's still due in the free parent app — and only their own child.

Which plans include invoicing?

Invoicing and fee reminders are included in the Standard plan (3,500 EGP/month, up to 80 children) and the Professional plan. The Basic plan doesn't include invoicing. See pricing.

Can you import our existing fees?

Yes. Send us whatever you have — an Excel sheet, a Word document, even photos of your register — and we import it before you go live.
