How language schools get paid
Language Schools run tuition on recurring billing, take enrollment deposits by card, and accept ACH for larger balances, all through Flux.
A typical Flux setup for language schools
Language schools collect from two very different populations with one account. Local students pay monthly group class tuition on autopay, small recurring card charges that run themselves. International students enrolling from abroad pay large semester invoices, and this is where rails matter: foreign-issued cards work through the standard checkout, ACH covers students with US bank accounts, and stablecoins over Solana or Ripple give students a way to pay a large invoice without an international wire.
The intake rhythm follows semester starts and visa timelines: application fees and placement test fees arrive as small card charges year-round, then tuition lands in heavy waves before each session begins. Stablecoin payments reach your merchant wallet instantly, which matters when a student needs an enrollment letter and you need cleared funds before issuing it. Cards settle in 1-2 business days and ACH in 1-3, all reconciled by program through the QuickBooks sync.
What language schools should watch
Visa denial is the refund scenario this industry cannot avoid: a student pays a semester upfront, the visa is refused, and the money must go back across a border. Write the policy now, including what is refundable, what documentation you need, and how the refund travels, because card refunds return to the original card while a stablecoin refund is a transfer you send. A published visa-refund policy is also something students check before choosing a school.
Cross-border card payments decline more often than domestic ones, usually for issuer-side reasons a school cannot see. Offering a second path, ACH for students already in the country or stablecoins for those abroad, turns a decline from a lost enrollment into a retry. Watch payer identity too: tuition often comes from a parent or sponsor overseas, so match the payment to the student record carefully, and keep receipts naming the student for their own visa paperwork.
Simple, transparent pricing
Flux charges a flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume language schools and the option to pass the fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow.

How can a student pay tuition from overseas without a wire transfer?
Foreign-issued cards work through the standard checkout, and stablecoins over Solana or Ripple handle large invoices that would otherwise go by wire. Stablecoin payments land in your merchant wallet instantly, so enrollment paperwork is not waiting on funds.
What should our refund policy say about visa denials?
Spell out what portion refunds, what documentation you require, and the timeline, and collect agreement at payment. Card refunds return to the original card. Stablecoin refunds are transfers you send under your own policy, so the terms need to be explicit.
A sponsor is paying for the student. Does that cause problems?
It is common and workable, but keep records tying the payer to the student, since receipts and enrollment letters must name the student. Clear linkage also protects you if the sponsor later disputes a card charge they do not recognize.
