When players register and pay online for an Event Caddy tournament, they pay a small convenience fee. This fee is passed along to your registering players so you can maximize your fundraising efforts for the cause you’re supporting.

Event Caddy charges a $3.00 convenience fee per player to the registering player if the player is paying by credit card ($4.00 for Canadian tournaments).

Players do not pay the credit card convenience fee if registering for the tournament and paying by cash or check (only available for Event Caddy PRO tournaments).

For tournament organizers on the FREE Event Caddy plan, the convenience fee charged for each player registration by credit card is how we can continue to offer our software that helps simplify tournament planning for you.

For tournament organizers on the PRO or ELITE Event Caddy plans, the convenience fee for credit card registrations covers the cost of maintaining the infrastructure involved to provide you access to features such as the online store, live scoring and player text messaging.

If you wish to absorb the convenience fee for your player(s), please let us know and we will make the adjustment within your tournament. Once your event has ended, Event Caddy will send you an invoice through Stripe for the convenience fees based on total number of players registered.

NOTE: This convenience fee is separate from any fees Stripe or PayPal charge when you are utilizing their services for accepting payments.
