Background of the birth of Escolle and installed functions

Mediaseek operates the school management system “My Class”, but since the corona crisis, recurring billing (subscription) services have been rapidly expanding. The recurring billing (subscription) market is expected to continue to expand in the future. was the challenge. Therefore, Mediaseek has collaborated with SBPS and CatchBall, which are PSP companies, and has a monthly recurring billing function with a credit card, a carryover function for the next month, One-time billing function, and custom attributes and category management functions to support various industries. This has led to the start of the provision of “Escolle”. In the future, in the second phase, we will implement a deferred payment function. After the implementation of the deferred payment function, it will be possible to select deferred payment from the beginning of the application, and when billing fails (when an error occurs due to the expiration of Credit Card Payment, etc.), a function ^*2 that automatically shifts to a deferred payment contract will be added. It reduces the risk of business and collection omissions, and greatly reduces the business burden on business operators.
