### "Exorbitantly high fees" — 1.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *October 28, 2023* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: While a reasonable 5% charge would be acceptable, they appear to overcharge customers, taking advantage of the fact that schools mandate its use.
> 
> **Cons**: The convenience fees at K12Payment Center are exorbitantly high, with instances like charging $2.60 for a $15 school shirt purchase. It often feels like an unjustified expense when compelled to use this payment service. While a reasonable 5% charge would be acceptable, they appear to overcharge customers, taking advantage of the fact that schools mandate its use. It would be more customer-friendly if this platform offered a free option, such as the ability to link a checking account for payments.
