Don’t let revenue slip through the cracks

Automatically collect application, enrollment, and deposit fees

Reduce missed payments with instant payment failure alerts and automatic payment retries

Dispute dashboard to fight back against disputes and collect the money you're owed

Recover lost revenue

Stop leaving money on the table for late pickups

Most providers don't enforce their late pickup policy – or spend hours figuring out who owes what. Playground automatically tracks late pickups and applies your fee policy, so you can charge (or forgive) with zero friction.

Automtically logs pickup times and flags policy violations

Applies fees based on your rules – no manual math required

Review, charge, or waive fees in seconds

No more uncomfortable texts, no more missed revenue

"$1,200 collected in late pickup fees the first month we started enforcing with Playground"
