SPS EZpay is the website application that allows RRCSD parents to pay for school fees with a credit card over the internet. Parents can access the website from links on our main school website, or by typing www.spsezpayrockyriver.com The only thing they need is an email account and their student’s ID number to register! How does it work? RRCSD parents can access the EZpay website whenever they are on the internet. From the website they can pay school fees. When they make a payment, they receive an email confirmation that the payment has been made as well as the opportunity to print out a receipt of their payment. These payments are sent to the school each weekday night, so that their systems can be updated with the parent’s payments. We do not update on weekends. After we update the student’s account, we send this information back to SPS EZpay, so the next time the parent logs in, they will see their payment reflected as well. What does it look like?

I don’t remember my password. Parents can ask the system to send them their password in an email message by clicking on the “I forgot my password” link on the login/registration page. The system will send them their password and they can use this to log in. This email can take up to 5 minutes to reach them. 2. I asked for my password, but I never got an email? Does the parent use spam-blocking software? If so they need to allow email messages from info@spsezpay.com 3. I made a payment, but I didn’t get an email receipt. Again, some parents have email accounts that use spam blocking, or they may have their email account set up in a way to block all incoming email, except that which they approve of. If this is the case, they need to allow email from info@spsezpay.com If they do this, their email receipts should begin to be delivered to their accounts. They can also log back in at any time to look at their payment history, by going to the MY ACCOUNT link. 4. My credit card keeps getting denied. SPS EZpay has no control over the authorization of credit cards. Parents should check with their issuing bank if they believe the credit card should have been authorized. But the billing address they entered on their profile must match with the billing address on the credit card. If you get many parents saying they are having difficulty in a short amount of time, there may be a problem with the website. Please contact Technical Support, and they will contact us at SPS EZpay. 5. What is the security code on my credit card? The system uses the CVVS security code on the credit card. It is a 3 or 4 digit code, depending upon the type of card used. The website has a link to show parents where their code is located. If the parent does not know this or enters an incorrectly, their card will be declined. This code sometimes fades and becomes difficult to read, again, they should contact their bank for help with this. 6. How do I change my email address on my account? Because the email address is the same thing as User ID and this is how we identify users on our system, a parent cannot update just their email account. If they want to use a different email address, they should go through and re-register using their new address. If they would like us to mark their old email account as disabled, they can send us a note to info@spsezpay.com 7. Do I have to enter my credit card every time? Yes… The SPS EZpay website does not store any credit card numbers for any reason. Parents must enter their credit card every time. 8. I can’t get the system to let me register, or the web page won’t work for me. SPS EZpay uses both cookies and java script. Parents must use a 16 browser that will allow both of these. If they don’t allow cookies or java script, they will not be able to use SPS EZpay. ** Parents who use Apple/MACs, may or may not have problems depending on which browser they are using. TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS: 1. I can’t remember my password. Did they click the link to request that the password be sent to them? They should wait 5 minutes to receive their new password and follow the instructions to log in. If they haven’t gotten an email, do they have spam filters? If so, they need to allow email from info@spsezpay.com If they are still having problems have them contact us at info@spsezpay.com and we will be happy to help. 2. How do I add a student to my account? The parent may maintain their account once they have logged in, by clicking on the My Account link on the top right side of the web page. They can add or remove children, or change their address. 3. How do I change my billing address? Please use the My Account link on the top right side of the page to change your billing address. 17
