Release Date: December 16, 2025
We’ve introduced a couple of updates focused on improving billing clarity and automated payment reminders within ampEducator.
New Merge Fields for Balances
Two new merge fields are now available for use in email and PDF templates:
Student.BalanceDueCurrent and Student.BalancePPDueCurrent.

These fields dynamically display the student’s currently due balance and the currently due payment plan amount, allowing for clearer and more accurate financial communication.
Payment Plan Item Overdue Reminders
Automated overdue reminders can now be sent for Payment Plan Items, in addition to existing charge and invoice reminders.

Institutions can select Payment Plan Item as the reminder type to notify students when payment plan items are overdue or becoming due, helping improve payment follow-up and consistency.
