Option A — parents pay the contribution (default)
Each student's parent pays a system contribution of TZS 3,500 per year the first time they open results in the Parents area (mobile money: Airtel, Tigo/Yas, Halotel, M-Pesa via ClickPesa). After paying, results open immediately and stay open for the year. The school pays nothing. Rule: at least 70% of students must have paid within 6 months of registration, otherwise the school is asked to move to Option B. Follow the progress at Admin Settings › Contribution Settings (students paid, expected, collected, risk status).

Then Admin Settings › Make Payment: choose the period (TERM or ANNUAL), see the amount + VAT, and pay by M-Pesa Lipa Namba 4350411 (name: ONESTORE TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY LIMITED): dial *150*00# → 4 Lipa kwa M-Pesa → 1 Weka Lipa Namba → 4350411 → amount → PIN.
