This section contains the contractual contact information used when setting up a new ParentPay site. It will contain the physical location of the site along with the contact details of the contract owner (invoice payer). This is often a member of the senior leadership team or the key contact within a catering group, local authority or MAT and may be used to communicate significant changes to systems or policies, or where it is deemed important by ParentPay that the key contact be informed.
The email address is also used as the reply-to address when using the ParentPay Communication Centre (PCC).
Please note: The Contact Details section should be use to provide your primary support contact, catering contact and data protection contact(s).
MIS system, Cashless system
These fields should only be amended upon request by ParentPay as changes could affect your system adversely if you have other integrations. Please contact the support team should you wish to amend them.
