Beanstalk's invoices, paid in under 24 hours on average

Heather C. founded Beanstalk Tutoring in Snowmass, Colorado. Her team tutors K-2 literacy and math, online and in person. She wanted card payments online. She did not want to lose revenue to processing fees.

Now her families pay by card, ACH or cash online. She chooses who pays the processing fee. Cash and checks taken in person sit in the same account, next to every invoice.

The result: average collection time fell to less than 24 hours.

“Thank you Pay Theory for making payments so accessible and easy for all my families!”

C2's workflow, left in place

C2 Education has run test prep, tutoring and college counseling since 1997. Many of its K-12 payments are seasonal, and often large. Then its previous processor parted ways. C2 needed a new one, fast.

We gave its developers our SDKs, APIs, documentation and several sandbox environments to test in. A payments expert guided the underwriting, with every form ready in advance. Custom labels, processor redundancy and system monitoring kept C2's existing workflows in place.

C2 was processing with us in a matter of days.

“Pay Theory has been great to work with to ensure our payments reporting is what we need and have found their customer service to be top-notch.”
