Billing runs itself.
You don’t chase.
A competition entry, a workshop and new costume rentals, all on one bill. A failed charge retries without you chasing who paid. Cash and card live on the same platform.
“Before Ida, I was still chasing July tuition in August. Now with Ida, it just hits my bank account automatically.”

Nothing failed. All 32 September autopays went through.
Tuition that arrives on its own.
Each dancer’s plan bills through Stripe on the day you choose. Families turn on autopay once and update their own card, so you’re not the billing department, and payments stop being late in the first place.
- Bill on a fixed day or each family’s signup date
- Seasonal pricing for lighter and heavier months
- Families manage cards and invoices themselves
Sample studio32 of 34 families pay October on autopay. $7,481.25 goes out Thu without anyone sending an invoice.

A declined card retries. You don’t follow up.
When a card fails, Ida tries again, and the family sees it on their bill. You watch Failed become Paid on the same ledger, instead of a text thread about who still owes July.
- Automatic retries on failed tuition
- The family sees the failure and can update the card
- Outstanding, paid and past due on one screen
