MMS and Online Payment Processing
An online payment portal is one of the most effective steps a school or
district can take to reduce the time and effort needed to process
school fees, to get timely access to funds, and to more easily engage
parents and students in school activities.
Softerware, our parent company, is one of the largest processors of
online payments for non-profit organizations in the world. This gives
MMS access to secure solutions that integrates directly into the MMS

Why the MMS Payment Portal?
• Security. The MMS Payment Portal is PCI compliant,
isolates each account within its own merchant account,
and works with SafeSave- a payment processor known
for its security and dependability.
• Integration with cafeteria management. MMS has been
working with Lunchtime Software for more than 7 years,
and is tightly integrated into their cafeteria point-of-sale
system so student accounts, health alerts, and menu
restrictions are all kept up to date instantly. Our goal is to
eliminate the need for the “cheese sandwich,” due to
under-funded lunch accounts.
• … and it’s easy to get started. Computer Resources will
walk you through a straightforward implementation
process and have your school up and running in a matter
of days. Two forms, and 3 hours of training, and you will
have an integrated fee-tracking system and payment
portal for your whole school community.
• Flexible options, and great rates on processing fees. The MMS
Payment Portal allows schools to configure their fee-processing so it
best supports their parents and users. with credit, debit, or electronic
check (ACH). Schools can decide how fees are configured, and who
will be responsible for them.
• Real-time access to funds. Each school or district gets their own
merchant account. The MMS Payment Portal ensures that fees are
available almost immediately.
• Offering flexible payment options to include all families. The
MMS Payment Portal not only supports electronic checks, credit
cards, and debit cards, but also allows schools to extend their own
payment plans to families that need to pay bills over time by
scheduling automatic withdrawals against fees. MMS also makes it
easy for families to fund accounts that students can draw on as
needed.
• Integration. The network of services that make up the MMS
Payment Portal have been integrated for more than a decade. Our
parent company, Softerware, one of the largest processors of non-profit
payments in the country, gives MMS access to mature
technology and expertise that ties directly into their student
information platform. Student, family, lunch, and fee data are kept up
to date, in real-time, all the time.
