Problem: Presently there is no requirement for learners to add their payment account resulting in a lot of chasing come time to pay, and some program partners get tense with stipends that are not quickly paid. Although we send emails to remind them, they are not often opening them if they do land in their main inbox.
Solution: I would love to see a feature added when we build experiences that allow us to set this as a mandatory requirement for programs within our settings.
The feature:
Learners cannot start the project without adding their payment account information (similarly to signing agreements ahead of time)
The caveat: make this something we can decide to use or not, much like the feature of making project dates binding. This way if we have non-stipend programs we can leave the box unchecked.
Thank you!
