Making a Purchase in ClassWallet

All payments using ESTF funds are made electronically through your child’s ClassWallet account. No matter how you make your purchases, be sure to buy them separately for each of your children in the program, even if you are using the same provider. 

Direct Pay 

Direct Pay lets you pay vendors directly from your student’s ESTF funds. Follow these simple steps:

1. Use the School & Vendor Finder Site to browse tutoring, therapy, curriculum, and more. 

2. Contact the vendor or visit their website to request products or services. 

3. Request an invoice from the vendor that includes the following information: 

   ✅ Vendor name and address
   ✅ Student name
   ✅ Parent name
   ✅ Date of invoice
   ✅ Date of service
   ✅ Total amount due
   ✅ What the payment is for (tutoring, tuition, classes, etc.)
   

   🎯 Tip: Some vendors will also accept a screenshot of an online shopping cart (including shipping and taxes) from their online store. Check with the vendor first to make sure this is acceptable. 

4. Log in to ClassWallet and go to the Direct Pay section, then click “Pay”.

5. Select the vendor you want to pay and upload the invoice or screenshot. 

6. Once the Direct Pay request is approved, payment will be sent directly from your student’s ESTF funds to the vendor.

Marketplace 

Online shopping through the Marketplace in the ClassWallet portal is similar to other online shopping experiences you have had.

When you open the Marketplace, you’ll see a list of stores arranged in alphabetical order. Click on a store to browse the items they offer. You can shop for technology, curriculum, educational supplies, and services. When you’re ready, you can check out and pay using your ESTF funds.
