thatguygriffandClaude Opus 5 b772e1811e Let parents register once and book for their children
A parent registers once and manages lessons for one or more children, who
need no login of their own. A child is a real wp_users row with the student
role but no usable login — so student_id keeps meaning "a WordPress user"
on every table, and booking, credits, policies and enrolments work unchanged.
A us_guardians link table maps guardian to child.

The signup form gains a parent/guardian tick that reveals a block per child,
with the account-signup questions asked per child rather than per guardian
— they describe the student, not the account holder. Signup policies are
recorded once per child with the guardian as the acceptor, which is the
record that actually means something. A family that half-creates is rolled
back entirely rather than leaving a guardian who cannot re-register.

The booking and enrolment forms gain a "Who is this for?" picker listing
children first, so the default selection is never the parent — booking for
the wrong child is correctable, quietly billing a parent for their kid's
lesson is not. POST /bookings and POST /enrollments take an optional
student_id honoured only for that child's guardian; anything else is a 403.
That check is the authorisation boundary of the feature.

Payments and credits gain a payer: the charge names the child it was for and
the guardian who owes it, so per-child reporting is unchanged while notices,
receipts and the payment step reach the parent. Credit is held by the payer,
so one child's cancellation can settle a sibling's charge, and the daily
billing scan sends a guardian one notice covering every child.

Closes #132

# Feature: Payments
## Overview
Payment is taken at registration. When Stripe is **not** configured the platform
falls back to **e-transfer** — a pending payment a studio admin marks received —
so everything works without any credentials. When Stripe **is** configured the
default rail becomes the **credit card**. The studio admin can override any
student's method (card / e-transfer / comp). Single bookings are charged once;
weekly reservations and group classes are charged the full term upfront (a
`full_term` price once, or a per-lesson `one_time` price × the occurrences
reserved — see `lesson-booking.md`). A
numbered receipt is emailed automatically when a payment is marked paid.
> **Implemented:** the payment ledger, studio settings, method resolution
> (e-transfer default with no Stripe; card default when configured; per-student
> override), the e-transfer/comp flow with admin confirmation + receipts,
> integration into booking/enrolment (a registration's `payment_id` is linked;
> comp auto-confirms; e-transfer stays pending until confirmed), and the **live
> Stripe card charge** — a PaymentIntent created on `POST /payments/intent`,
> confirmed in the browser with Stripe.js Payment Elements, and finalised by the
> `POST /payments/webhook` handler (signature-verified) on
> `payment_intent.succeeded`. Uses the `stripe/stripe-php` SDK.
## Stripe Configuration
Stripe credentials live in WordPress options, managed on the **Studio Settings**
page (`manage_billing`, studio admin only):
| Option | Notes |
|------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| `us_stripe_publishable_key` | Stripe publishable key |
| `us_stripe_secret_key` | Stripe secret key |
| `us_stripe_webhook_secret` | Webhook signing secret (`whsec_…`) |
| `us_stripe_mode` | `test` or `live` |
| `us_currency` | Default ISO 4217 currency, e.g. `CAD` |
| `us_etransfer_email` | Studio-default e-transfer destination |
| `us_hst_rate` | Default HST/tax percentage, e.g. `13` |
## HST / Tax
A studio-default **HST rate** (percentage) is configured on **Studio Settings**
(`us_hst_rate`, `manage_billing`). At booking the rate is **frozen onto the
payment** (`us_payments.tax_rate`) and the tax is computed against the pre-tax
subtotal (`tax_amount = round(amount × rate / 100, 2)`). The billed total is
`amount + tax_amount` (`Payment::total()`). Comped registrations are never taxed
(rate and amount are 0).
The rate is overridable **per booking** on **My Lessons** (instructor) while the
payment is still unpaid; saving recomputes `tax_amount` from the current
subtotal (`PaymentRepository::updateTax`). Receipts break out subtotal, HST, and
total when tax applies.
## Per-Student Billing Method
Each student's billing method is stored in user meta `us_payment_method`, set by the
studio admin (`Students → student detail → Billing method`). When unset, the studio
default applies — `card` if Stripe is configured, otherwise `etransfer`
(`BillingMethodResolver`):
| Method | Behaviour |
|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `card` | Charged immediately via Stripe; payment `paid` on success |
| `etransfer`| Payment row created `pending`; admin marks it `paid` when funds arrive |
| `comp` | No charge; registration is confirmed immediately, no payment row required |
## E-transfer Destination Email
Where students send e-transfers is resolved and **frozen onto the payment** at
booking time (`us_payments.etransfer_email`), so each record keeps the destination
the student was given. Resolution at creation:
1. **Offering override**`us_offerings.etransfer_email`, set by the instructor on the offering.
2. **Studio default** — the `us_etransfer_email` option (Studio Settings, `manage_billing`).
After booking, the destination on a payment can be corrected per booking:
- **My Lessons** — the instructor edits the e-transfer email for a pending lesson payment.
- **Payments queue** — when marking an e-transfer received, the studio admin can update the email it was actually sent to before confirming.
## Data Model — `{prefix}us_payments`
| Column | Type | Notes |
|----------------------------|------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | Primary key |
| `student_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID |
| `instructor_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | WordPress user ID (denormalised for reporting) |
| `registration_type` | VARCHAR(20) | `lesson` or `enrollment` |
| `registration_id` | BIGINT UNSIGNED | FK → `us_lessons.id` or `us_group_enrollments.id` |
| `amount` | DECIMAL(10,2) | Charged amount in dollars (matches the offering price) |
| `currency` | VARCHAR(3) | ISO 4217, e.g. `CAD` |
| `method` | VARCHAR(20) | `card` / `etransfer` / `comp` |
| `status` | VARCHAR(20) | `pending` / `paid` / `failed` / `refunded` |
| `tax_rate` | DECIMAL(5,2) | HST rate % frozen at booking; editable until paid |
| `tax_amount` | DECIMAL(10,2) | Computed tax in dollars (`amount × tax_rate / 100`) |
| `due_date` | DATE | When a *scheduled* payment is due; NULL = due at registration (`Payment::isScheduled()`) |
| `period_key` | VARCHAR(20) | Scheduled-billing dedup key: session date (weekly) or `YYYY-MM` (monthly); NULL otherwise |
| `notice_batch` | VARCHAR(32) | Shared reference for the payments one due-notice email covers, so a lump-sum e-transfer reconciles to them; NULL otherwise |
| `etransfer_email` | VARCHAR(191) | Frozen e-transfer destination; editable until confirmed |
| `stripe_payment_intent_id` | VARCHAR(255) | Stripe PaymentIntent id; NULL for e-transfer / comp |
| `receipt_number` | VARCHAR(50) | Sequential receipt id; set when `paid` |
| `receipt_sent_at` | DATETIME | When the receipt email was sent; NULL until sent |
| `created_at` | DATETIME | Insertion time |
| `paid_at` | DATETIME | When marked `paid`; NULL otherwise |
## Price Display and the Pay Agreement
Every price a student is shown on the front end carries its **cadence** — the
offering's `billing_mode` in the words the student needs:
| `billing_mode` | Shown as | Explained beneath as |
|----------------|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| `one_time` | `at booking` | Charged once, when you book. |
| `full_term` | `up front` | Charged once, up front, for the whole term. |
| `weekly` | `weekly` | Charged for each lesson, 24 hours before it starts. |
| `monthly` | `per lesson monthly` / `monthly` | Charged on the 1st of each month, for that month's lessons.|
So a lesson type reads `50.00 CAD at booking` in the booking form's type picker,
and a group class card reads `120.00 CAD up front`. A free offering shows `Free`.
**`monthly` reads differently per offering kind, because it *bills* differently.**
A private lesson's price is a per-lesson fee and its monthly charge is that
month's lessons × the fee, so the fee is quoted **per lesson**
(`50.00 CAD per lesson monthly`). A monthly group class is priced **per month**
`ScheduledBillingRunner::billGroupMonthly()` charges the fee once for the month
however many times the class meets in it — so its figure is quoted as it stands
(`120.00 CAD monthly`). The display split is `isPerLessonMonthly()` in
`assets/js/pricing.js`; the billing split is the one place the monthly rule
differs between the two kinds.
Before a booking or enrolment can be submitted, the form shows the price again as
a summary block with a **required agreement checkbox** — the second confirmation,
distinct from the policy acceptances above it:
> ☐ I agree to pay 56.50 CAD at booking.
The agreed figure is the amount actually billed, so the studio **HST rate** is
added to it (`usScheduler.taxRate`, localized from `us_hst_rate`) and broken out
above the checkbox — matching the total `Payment::total()` charges. A comped
student is not taxed and is not charged at all, so for them the quoted figure is
an upper bound. A free offering has nothing to agree to and shows no block.
Cadence-specific wording:
- **Weekly reservation of a `one_time` lesson type** — the fee is charged once per
week claimed, so the agreement states the per-lesson amount and the total as a
ceiling ("up to 12 lessons, 678.00 CAD in total"). The occurrence count mirrors
`BookingEndpoint::MAX_WEEKLY_OCCURRENCES`; a slot another student takes first is
simply not claimed, so the real charge can come in under it.
- **`weekly` / `monthly`** — nothing is taken at registration, so the agreement is
to the recurring charge: "I agree to pay 56.50 CAD per lesson, billed monthly."
A monthly **group class** agrees to its monthly figure instead ("I agree to pay
138.00 CAD monthly."), matching how its price is quoted on the card.
All of this lives in `assets/js/pricing.js` (`window.usPricing`), shared by the
booking and group-class flows so a price reads the same wherever it is met. The
script is registered as `us-scheduler-pricing` and is a dependency of both
`us-scheduler` and `us-scheduler-group`.
## Payment Flow
1. During registration the front-end calls `POST /payments/intent` — but only when the registration response carried a `payment` summary (unpriced registrations return `payment: null` and skip the payment step). The intent call creates a Stripe PaymentIntent for a `card` student and returns the client secret. (`etransfer` returns a `pending` payment; `comp` returns none.)
2. The browser confirms the card payment with Stripe.
3. Stripe calls `POST /payments/webhook`; on `payment_intent.succeeded` the payment is marked `paid`, `paid_at` is stamped, and the linked lesson/enrolment is `confirmed`.
4. On transition to `paid`, `ReceiptMailer` assigns a `receipt_number`, emails the student a receipt, and stamps `receipt_sent_at`.
5. For an e-transfer, the studio admin later calls `PATCH /payments/{id}` to mark it `paid`, which triggers the same confirmation + receipt.
## Scheduled Billing (weekly / monthly)
`weekly` and `monthly` offerings are **not** charged at registration. The booking /
enrolment succeeds with `payment: null`; the lesson is confirmed (or the enrolment stays
active) immediately, and payments are generated later by the daily
`us_generate_due_payments` cron scan (`Payment\ScheduledBillingRunner`). Each generated
payment carries a `due_date` and `period_key`, flows through the same
`PaymentService::createForRegistration` (so HST, method resolution, e-transfer freezing
and comp auto-pay are identical), and the student is emailed one consolidated itemised
notice per scan (`Payment\PaymentDueMailer`). Because these payments are scheduled,
`PaymentService::voidPending` never voids them — cancelling one lesson leaves a shared
monthly charge (and every other lesson it covers) untouched, and never rebills. Full
model, dedup, and the four generation cases are documented in `scheduled-billing.md`.
Cancelling a lesson that was **already paid** issues the student an account credit for
that lesson's share of what they paid; the next daily scan applies any available credit
against their due charges (reducing `us_payments.credit_applied``Payment::netDue()`)
before emailing the notice. See `credits.md`.
## REST API
| Method | Endpoint | Permission |
|---------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| `POST` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/payments/intent` | `book_lesson` |
| `POST` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/payments/webhook` | Public (Stripe signature verified) |
| `PATCH` | `/wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/payments/{id}` | `manage_billing` |
See `payment-reporting.md` for the monthly report and CSV export endpoints.
## Implementation
- Repository: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\PaymentRepository`
- Model: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\Payment`
- Stripe gateway: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\StripeGateway`
- Receipts: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\ReceiptMailer`
- Settings page: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\StudioSettings`
- REST endpoint: `Unsupervised\Schedular\Payment\PaymentEndpoint`
- Front-end price display + pay agreement: `assets/js/pricing.js` (`window.usPricing`), registered and localized with `taxRate` by `Unsupervised\Schedular\ShortcodeRegistrar`
## Tests
- `tests/Unit/ShortcodeRegistrarTest.php` (pricing helper registration + localized `taxRate`)
- `tests/Unit/Payment/PaymentRepositoryTest.php`
- `tests/Unit/Payment/PaymentTest.php`
- `tests/Unit/Payment/StripeGatewayTest.php`
- `tests/Unit/Payment/ReceiptMailerTest.php`
## Who Pays
`us_payments.student_id` names the student the charge is *for*;
`us_payments.payer_id` names who **owes** it — a child's guardian, or 0 meaning
the student pays for themselves (`Payment::payerOrStudent()`). The billing
method, receipts, payment notices and the Stripe payment step all resolve the
payer, so a family is billed and comped as one account while per-child reporting
is unchanged. See `parent-guardian-accounts.md`.
