How coding bootcamps get paid
Coding Bootcamps run tuition on recurring billing, take enrollment deposits by card, and accept ACH for larger balances, all through Flux.
A typical Flux setup for coding bootcamps
Bootcamp tuition is the largest ticket in education outside a degree, and the setup reflects it. A card deposit secures the seat at acceptance, then the balance moves by ACH, either one draft before the cohort starts or installments across its length. Employer-sponsored students bring a third flow: an invoice to the company, paid by ACH on terms, while the student pays only the deposit. Shorter workshops and prep courses sell by card like any online checkout.
Revenue arrives in cohort-shaped pulses, four or six times a year, rather than a steady monthly stream. That concentration makes settlement behavior worth knowing: ACH clears in 1-3 business days and cards in 1-2, so a cohort's tuition is fully collected within the first week if you draft at the start. Schools running several cohorts at higher volume qualify for volume discounts through custom interchange-plus pricing, and the full REST API ties enrollment status to payment status.
What coding bootcamps should watch
Every bootcamp has a withdrawal window, often state-mandated for licensed schools, where a student who leaves in the first days or weeks is owed most of their tuition back. Build the refund schedule into the enrollment agreement with exact dates per cohort, and treat the first two weeks as money you may not keep. On five-figure tickets, a single dispute is serious, so attendance records, signed agreements, and documented withdrawals are not paperwork, they are your evidence file.
Large ACH drafts deserve respect: a returned tuition draft surfaces days after it ran, and a student may already be sitting in class. Confirm the draft cleared before treating the seat as paid, or collect it far enough ahead of the start date that a return can be resolved first. Employer invoices bring slower terms, thirty days is common, so decide whether a student starts class before the sponsor has actually paid, and write that answer down.

What does Flux charge coding bootcamps?
A flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume merchants and no setup fees or contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee.

How fast do coding bootcamps get their money?
Card payments settle in one to two business days and ACH in one to three business days. Stablecoin payments go to your wallet instantly.
Can we invoice a student's employer instead of charging the student?
Yes. Send the company an invoice payable by ACH on agreed terms while the student covers only the deposit. Keep the sponsorship commitment in writing, and decide in advance whether the student may start class before the employer's payment clears.
How should we handle the legally required refund window at the start of a cohort?
Put the exact refund schedule and dates in the enrollment agreement and treat early-window tuition as provisional. When a student withdraws inside the window, issue the refund promptly under your own policy, which keeps a regulated obligation from turning into a card dispute.
Is ACH or card better for a five-figure tuition balance?
Most bootcamps draft the balance by ACH, which suits large transfers and clears in 1-3 business days, and keep cards for deposits and shorter workshops. Collecting a few days ahead of the cohort start leaves room to resolve a returned draft before day one.
