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

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.

If you have created a SCOPAY account in the past for another child at this school or another school, you can use the same account to link this child.  Go to www.scopay.com and Login with your Email address and Password.  Click on Your Info, Link accounts and enter the new Link code, or scan the QR code.  If you don't know your password, follow the steps in FAQ 4. I've forgotten my Password.

1. Go to www.scopay.com (or load the SCOPAY mobile app)
2. On the SIGN IN screen, select I've forgotten my password
3. Enter your Email address
4. Tap on Reset password
5. A new user verification email will be sent to the provided email address
6. If the email does not arrive, check the Spam / Junk folder
7. Tap on the activation link in the verification email
8. Set the new password, when prompted

9. If you don’t receive an email ask the school to check which email address you used to create your account

10. Go to www.scopay.com (or load the SCOPAY mobile app) and login 

You have carried out a password reset but you aren't receiving an email to set a new password:

1. Remember to check your Spam/Junk folder in case your email provider’s sent it there.
2. If you don’t receive an email it’s most likely because we can’t find your account. In this case please check the email you’re using is the same as the one you registered with.  Your school can check which email address you used to first register your account.

A child can be linked to multiple SCOPAY accounts, but for security, the link or QR code on the letter/email can only be used once. Please contact your child's school and ask them for a new link code if you wish to create a second account for your child.

School can issue a link code to another parent or carer of your child.  Once they have created a SCOPAY account, they will see the following:

Both parents/carers will see the same products online and can pay for any of them.
Both parents/carers will see all transactions (payments, refunds, discounts) made against the child (including cash and cheques in school).
The parents will not see each other's personal details (address, email address, etc.)
Once a link code has been used (by either parent/carer), it is no longer valid and a new link code will need to be generated for subsequent accounts.

Most schools do not accept payments using American Express. Check with your school office for further information.

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.

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 from the SCOPAY payment screen 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.
