The online payments application – TouchBase – has been configured to use the following login credentials:
Username: [username]
Password: [password]
For parents with multiple students in the district, you’ll be able to see all of your students with your one username and password. Once you’ve selected your student, the shopping experience will be specific to that student.
Once you’ve signed in, select the student you want to shop for:
TIP:
You’ll see all your students displayed in your student list, including yourself. Your record is displayed so you can purchase using your own account. You may wish to donate to a club/activity, or sign up for a Community Education class (if applicable).
Once on your student dashboard, everything will be specific to your student. Here are the most common tools you should become familiar with:
The online payments portal is integrated with many other systems across the district, and as a result, the web store items can be ‘flagged’ to limit what students can purchase items. Below are examples of what you may see in the web store, and the reason(s) certain items look the way they do:
“Buy”
An item that’s available for purchase in the webstore will display a blue “Add” button – this means it’s available for purchase:
“Sold Out”
This notification will display if the quantity has been depleted on an item, or if the item is currently unavailable.
TIP: check the item description – there may be additional instructions for you regarding the item.
“Pay Fines”
This is displayed when an item is marked to restrict purchases for students with outstanding fines on their account. If you click the “Pay Fines” button, this will take you to the fine window where you can add all applicable fines to your cart. Once you’ve added the fines to your cart, you’ll be able to add the restricted item to the cart as well:
“Grade Restriction”
Items that are restricted to a specific grade, are only available to students enrolled in the listed grades. If you find your student is listed in the wrong grade, or the item you wish to purchase should be available to your student – please contact the school for more information.
“Multipart Items/Combo Items”
If you find an item has multiple options available, this is a ‘Multipart item’ and you have the option to select what items you wish to add to the cart. If any of the checkboxes are greyed out/unavailable to edit, this means they are required.
No – the online payments application does not store your card data under any circumstance. AJUSD does not store your credit card data under any circumstance either. The online payments portal uses PCI compliant processes and security protocols to ensure your data is protected while being processed. All payments are secure and protected.
There are several reasons why your student may have a fine. The online payments application is integrated to each school’s finance office, and many other district systems send the online payments application data. The most common reasons for why a fine is on a student’s account are:
If there is a fine on your account, certain items may be restricted for purchase until the fine/fines are paid.
If you are having issues signing into the web store, it’s most likely because you haven’t created a password, or because you aren’t signed up/enrolled in the parent portal. You can first try the recover password utility on the login page, but if that doesn’t work, please contact the district for further instructions.
The web store offers many items to parents and students, but there are certain items that may require hands-on management. As a result, the item may not be available in the web store. Typically, if there’s an item requires this level of management, a fee will be assessed to the applicable students.
Some items may only be available during certain times of the year. Be sure to check in often!
