Integration of Softbook and Fondy

In today’s business environment, some processes that were once manual and time-consuming can be automated with the right tools. Integrating payment systems into our Softbook platform can greatly facilitate the process of accepting payments and optimize business processes. In this article, we will look at how we have integrated the Fondy payment service with the Softbook platform and why it can be an important strategy for your online school and business in general.

What is it and what is it for?

Fondy is an international payment system that allows you to make secure online transactions. If you have an online school or courses, Fondy can greatly simplify the process of accepting payments from customers. The Fondy payment system is a tool that allows you to accept payments in various formats. Softbook, on the other hand, is a platform for managing online school and business processes. Thus, the integration of Fondy with Softbook allows you to combine these systems to get a functional tool for accepting payments and optimizing business processes.

What is Fondy for on Softbook?

Fondy integration with Softbook helps to automate the process of accepting payments and optimize business processes, namely

• Accepting payments: You can accept payments in various formats, which makes the process convenient for customers. Fondy supports payment cards, mobile payments and other methods.
• Automation of accounting: The integration allows you to automatically track all payments and accounting transactions in Softbook without the need for manual data entry.
• Reduced fees: Fondy is known for its low fees for businesses, and with Softbook, they are even lower. This means you can reduce your payment processing costs and increase your profits.
• Security and reliability: Fondy is famous for its reliability and high level of transaction security. Your customers can rest assured that their payments are safe.

But the most important of all the advantages is the automation of the process of enrolling a student in a course. Thus, the student pays for the course, and then has the opportunity to immediately create an account and the system automatically gives him/her access to the training.

Why is it important for an online school owner?

1. Students start studying at a new course without waiting and quickly receive knowledge in exchange for the money they paid.
2. There is no need to manually add each student to the course, which saves time and automates the process.
3. The percentage of refunds decreases, because the student has actually already received the service and you don’t have to refund him if he changes his mind.
4. It’s easier for you to analyze the results of advertising because you can clearly see how your funnel worked.
