Payments & Earnings

Payments and earnings that follow every session

BusyHen keeps tutoring payments tied to completed sessions through Stripe. When a student books, their card is authenticated; when the session ends, payment is processed. Tutors track wallet balances with available and pending amounts, complete identity and bank verification, and receive payouts from earnings in the app.

Stripe at booking, automatic charge after the session - wallet available and pending balances for tutors.

Student payments

How student payments work from booking to charge

A clear pattern so students know what to expect before they book.

  • At booking

    The app authenticates the student’s card, confirming that the payment method is valid and that funds are available.

  • After the session

    Once the lesson ends, BusyHen automatically deducts the payment from the authenticated card.

  • Through the same app

    Students do not have to leave BusyHen to pay manually; the charge follows the session.

Card authentication

Why BusyHen authenticates cards at booking

BusyHen treats payments as part of the session flow, not an afterthought - reassuring both students and tutors.

  • No surprise charges for sessions that never happen

    If a session is not completed, there is no finished service to charge against.

  • Less risk for tutors

    Tutors start sessions knowing that the payment method has already been verified.

  • Smoother billing

    When the session ends, the charge can move quickly because the heavy lifting-checking the card-has already happened.

For students

When students see charges on their account

Encourage students to check their payment method details before booking to avoid failed payments or surprises.

  • Your card is not charged when you first book; it is authenticated.
  • You see the actual charge after the session ends, when BusyHen processes the payment automatically.
  • The payment appears through your preferred payment method; timing may also depend on how your bank processes card charges.

For tutors

How tutors see earnings inside BusyHen

Earnings grow in step with completed sessions rather than manual invoicing.

  • Session-based earnings

    Each completed session contributes to the tutor’s total earnings.

  • Clear session list

    Tutors can see which sessions have been completed and contributed to their earnings.

  • In-app visibility

    Earnings are visible from inside the BusyHen app, so tutors do not need separate spreadsheets or external trackers.

Session-tied

Why payments are tied to sessions

BusyHen is built around live tutoring sessions in its virtual classroom. Tying payments to sessions keeps the business model simple - and reduces confusion compared to models that mix subscriptions, packages, and ad hoc charges without a clear connection to lessons.

  • Students pay for sessions they attend

    Charges follow completed lessons - not content access alone.

  • Tutors earn from sessions they teach

    Earnings grow in step with finished teaching time.

  • Each finished session produces a record

    A learning outcome and a financial record stay connected.
