Important Information for Parents

If you are a parent needing assistance with your account, you will need to contact your child's school.  Let them have your email address (not password) and description of your problem. Due to data protection restrictions, we are unable to help you directly.  However, we have included a few handy hints for you below.   

Frequently Asked Questions
 1. I don't have a SCOPAY access letter - how do I get one?

Please contact your child's school and they can provide one for you. The letter/email will also include instructions on how to create an account.

 2. I am being asked for an online link code - what is this?

A link code is a series of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies a child. The code can be used once to link a child to an online account - it cannot be re-used.

A link code can be found on the access letter/email provided to you by your child's school.

 3. I have children at two different schools - can I pay for both of them using one account?

If both schools use SCOPAY Online Payments, then yes! You can do this using the two link codes given to you by each separate school (see FAQ point above).

 4. I have two children at the same school - can I pay for both of them using one account?

Yes! You can have both children linked to your account by following these steps:

If you have not set up an account yet, create your account with first child's link code.

Log in, go to Your info, and select Link accounts. Enter the second child's link code. 

Both children will then be displayed in the dropdown at the top right.

 5. My partner has created an account linked to our child. I tried to create an account with the same link code they used, but it didn't work.

For security, the link code on the letter/email cannot be used more than once. Please contact your child's school and ask them for a new link code.

 6. How do I view receipts on SCOPAY?

Login to www.scopay.com with your username and password.
Click on Your Info then click on Payment history
All payments will be listed here with the most recent on the top.
Click on a Payment to view the details.

 7. The system won't accept my American Express card.

Most schools do not accept payment using an American Express card. Check with the school office for further information.

 8. Can I use Childcare Vouchers to pay online?

The online payment system will only allow you to pay by credit card or debit card. If you wish to pay by Childcare Vouchers, you will need to contact your school to discuss arrangements with them.

 9. Can I change my email address?
I know the email address I signed up with:

Log in with the password you specified.
If you have not verified your email address, a message will appear and you will be able to change your email address there.
If you have verified your email address, go to Your info, and select Login details to change your email address.

I do not know the email address I signed up with;

Please contact your child's school and ask them to unlink your child from the incorrect email address.
Ask them for a new link code.
Re-register with your intended email address using the new link code.

 10. My child has changed schools and I have credit on the old school account. Can I transfer this to the new school?

You cannot transfer credit (or debt) for your child from one school to another.  Contact the original school and request a refund.  Make a separate payment to the new school.

 11. My payment card keeps being declined, even when I try a different one. What shall I do?

There are various factors that might cause cards to be declined. Please check the following:


1. Billing Address

The Billing address in SCOPAY should match the address registered to the bank account.

  • Login to www.scopay.com
  • Click on Your info
  • Click on Address
  • Check the Address details match those registered with your bank account
  • If not, make any changes and click on Update at the bottom
  • Try the payment again


2. Card details saved by Browser

Card details have been saved and automatically filled/completed by the web browser (e.g. Google Chrome) - these may have changed or expired. Delete the card details and enter them again manually.


3. Incorrect Verification Password

An incorrect personal password was entered when authenticating your payment card using Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode.


4. Validation ignored

The payment card was previously registered with Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode but you decided to ignore the validation, i.e. you did not enter your registered personal password when prompted.


5. Card Issuer has Blocked the Card

Your card issuer suspects fraudulent activity on your payment card and has therefore blocked the transaction due to security concerns.


6. Insufficient Funds

You do not have sufficient funds in your account to cover the full payment


If you have followed the above steps then you should try to make the payment again. Clear your browser's cache (for instructions see https://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/*) or open a different web browser, add the items again to your shopping cart and follow the on screen instructions to complete the payment.

If your payment card declines again, try using a different PC or payment card or contact your payment card issuer to question them accordingly.

If you have further questions about the reason for your payment being rejected, please contact your school.

 13. I am trying to register online but it says my email address is already in use.
