Sticitt added Absa Pay checkout, partnered with iTickets for school event ticketing, and expanded rewards and fundraising tools for schools.
Sticitt has added Absa Pay as a new payment option for school fees in South Africa and rolled out new partnerships for ticketing and fundraising, plus expanded cash rewards for schools and parents.
Sticitt said in its latest newsletter that parents can now pay via Absa Pay when checking out on Sticitt. Absa Pay is a bank approval flow, parents confirm the payment inside the Absa Banking App.
For schools, Sticitt also highlighted a partnership with iTickets for event ticketing. The pitch is simpler payments for parents and automated reconciliation for schools, meaning ticket money is matched to the right event and recorded automatically.
Sticitt also announced a fundraising partnership with Señor Chef. The model combines Señor Chef products and a stated 25% commission for fundraising, with Sticitt handling cashless payments so orders can be tracked without handling physical cash.
On incentives, Sticitt said it is expanding Rewards that pay cash back to parents who use a Sticitt account to pay a school. The company also said schools that receive payments into a Sticitt School Payment Account can earn cash incentives, although the newsletter did not give a total budget or cap.
Separately, Sticitt said it has made its financial literacy “habits” lessons available free for any child. It positioned the content for Life Orientation use, a school subject that covers practical life skills.
School fee payments and event income are high-volume and admin heavy, and missed references can create days of manual follow-ups. Adding a popular bank option like Absa Pay can reduce failed payments and support parents who prefer authorising payments inside their banking app.
Bundling payments, ticketing, fundraising, and rewards is also a retention play. If schools run more of their collections through one platform, switching costs go up, and reconciliation becomes a product feature, not a spreadsheet task.
