Updated over 4 months ago

This feature is only available with the following products:

Stripe is a credit card processing company used by many of our customers to collect payments online using the available payment methods:

  • Credit/Debit Cards (e.g., Visa, Mastercard, American Express)

  • Digital Wallets (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay)

  • Local Payment Options (e.g., iDEAL, EPS, Alipay)

There are a few options when it comes to collecting payments with our system. For details on the methods, Click Here.
​

Before collecting payments, you must first create a Stripe Account and connect it to the registration payment center or Golf Hub within an event/league or donations, membership, and master roster registration at the customer level.

In this article, we will discuss how to connect an account at the event/league level for registration payment. For details about connecting a Stripe Account when using Golf Hub, Click Here.

(Note: Stripe charges a small fee per transaction. Please visit www.stripe.com to see their current pricing.)

Creating and Connecting a Stripe Account:

There are typically two different scenarios when it comes to connecting Stripe Accounts:

  • Use Your Stripe Account: Payments will be going through your Stripe account and the bank account you have entered. This option is recommended if you would like the payments to go to your checking account.

  • Use Another Stripe Account: Payments will not go through you. You will be "hands-off" when it comes to collecting and dealing with the payments. We suggest this approach when a club has a company outing and wants the payments to go directly to the company. The individual/company will have to go to www.stripe.com and create an account.

To create and connect a Stripe Account, follow these instructions:

  1. If payment processing is not already enabled, contact the support team.

  2. Go to an event or league where you'd like to collect payments for registration. Go to Event/League > Event/League Payment Center > Connect Stripe Account. You will then be directed to Stripe's login/registration page (as shown below).

  3. can do one of the following:

    1. Create a New Account: Complete account setup. This will require an email, password, and mobile phone number. You should have your bank routing and account number ready, as well as your business EIN (if available). If you are operating as an individual, entering your SSN is an option, but omitting it may cause delays in transferring collected funds to your bank account.

    2. Use an Active Stripe Account: Enter your existing email and click next. You will then be asked for a password and the account you would like to use associated with that email.

  4. After registering an account or signing in, you will be re-directed back to the Event Payment Center, and the Stripe Account will be connected to the event/league. The name of the connected Stripe Account will be listed (as shown below).


    To switch Stripe accounts, use the dropdown, or to add a new account, click "Connect Another Stripe Account."

Enable/Disable Connecting a Stripe Account for Event/League Managers:

As a Customer Manager, you may wish to enable/disable the event/leagues manager's ability to connect or update a Stripe Account. If you wish to do so, navigate to Event/League > Event/League Profile > General Setting > Event/League Manager Permissions.
