The birth of a company.
The Goddard School are experts in early childhood development; working to give children a lifelong love of learning. When COVID struck the school needed to quickly learn its own ways to deal with the pandemic. One of these lessons was figuring out how to have parents pay without coming into the facility. They turned to Plastiq.
A smarter way to pay.
“Plastiq was recommended to us,” said Anne Pope, owner of Goddard Schools in Virginia Beach, Lynnehaven and Chesapeake, Virginia. “We previously only accepted cash, check and ACH, but we needed a contactless way to let parents pay.” The answer: using Plastiq Accept to let parents pay by credit card at no cost to The Goddard School.
Making the grade.
Now, parents could pay by card without coming into the school–helping to keep both students and staff safe. More benefits quickly became apparent. “We saw earlier enrollment from more parents because they could pay immediately and lock in a spot for their child,” Pope said. Families moving to the area took advantage as well, putting down deposits before they’d even arrived.
A quicker study.
The benefits of Plastiq Accept extended directly to The Goddard School as well. Merchant processing fee free credit card payments arrived in their account faster and easier and they no longer had to spend time scanning and depositing checks one by one.
My favorite part of working with Plastiq is how simple it is.

Keeping the focus.
With so much to worry about as they navigated COVID, The Goddard School was more than happy to have found Plastiq. And one less worry meant more time to focus on what was most important–teaching.
