Checklist

Payer experience checklist for Flywire-style workflows

If end users struggle to complete payments, support tickets increase and operations quality drops. Use this list to review real friction points.

Students reviewing payment options together

1) Clarity on first screen

Can a payer understand available methods, expected timeline, and next steps without external support?

2) Country-specific expectations

Review whether instructions and method availability match the payer location context.

3) Confirmation quality

Teams should verify how status updates are communicated to both payer and internal operations.

4) Escalation path

Document what happens when a payment stalls, including who owns support and how quickly issues are resolved.

Practical move: run this checklist with admissions, support, and finance together before final provider selection.
