Spare (Spare L.L.C., paywithspare.com) is a school management and cashless-payments platform that digitizes payments and automates internal school processes using contactless technology — wristbands, phones, student ID cards, and QR codes. It serves schools, parents, and vendors through a centralized admin dashboard with permission controls, parent spending limits and dietary/allergen monitoring, vendor inventory tools, and attendance tracking. Spare exposes a REST API (JSON over HTTPS, standard HTTP verbs and status codes) that has not yet been opened to the public; its webhook surface is publicly documented so external inventory and attendance systems can react to Spare events in near real time. Backed by 500 Global.
