How to Create an Offline/Other Payment Method | Student Registration

Updated Since 9/9/2025

If you wish to collect payment for your programs, but are not using MySchoolBucks, PayPal, or Stripe as your payment processor of choice, you may create an Offline Payment Method. This will allow you to link any online payment processor to Arbiter Registration by adding their URL to your payment instructions. Registrants will be directed to your payment link as soon as they have submitted their registrations. You may also create an Offline Payment Method to provide other payment instructions for families - such as paying by cash or check or in-person.

Note: Electing to create an Offline Payment Method means that our software cannot automatically track and report if the payment has been successfully been made by your families. For this reason, the Balance Due will continue to reflect the total amount originally due, even after payment has been made. As the organization, you may manually mark the registration as Paid to acknowledge your receipt of funds, and the families will see that you have marked it Paid, but the Balance Due will remain unchanged. If you wish, you may select an option which will hide the Balance Due on these registrations to help prevent confusion.
