Trips & Events

Bookings, consents and payments in one flow

Launch a trip, club outing or school event in minutes. Parents see the offer in the Scopay app, pay deposits or instalments, and complete medical and consent forms in one journey.

Office staff get live booking lists, payment status and exportable registers and never chase a paper slip again.

How it works

From launch to reconciliation. One simple flow.

Everything a school needs to run a trip or event end-to-end, with less admin and no missed payments.

01

Build the trip or event

Add dates, pricing, consent forms and capacity in minutes. Set deposit, instalment or full-payment rules so bookings only complete on your terms.

02

Choose the go-live time

Release the trip whenever suits you. Early morning, late evening or at the weekend. Parents can book the moment it goes live.

03

Communicate with parents

Parents see the offer in the Scopay app with all the details, forms and payment options in one place. No paper slips to lose.

04

Collect payments automatically

Parents pay deposits, instalments or the full amount through the same trusted app. Payment status updates in real time for office staff.

05

Send smart reminders

Nudge parents who haven't paid, consented or returned medical info. Automatically, so your office never has to chase.

06

Reconcile and report

Export booking lists, registers and finance reports with every payment accounted for. Trip income, Gift Aid and Pupil Premium flow straight into reconciliation.
