Financial Setup

ONLINE PAYMENTS

Online payments allow you to receive credit/debit card payments from your team members to your own bank account. Payments automatically update your team and team members' TeamStats financial records.

Payments are handled by Stripe - one of the largest and most secure payment processors in the world.

If you are fed up of chasing your team members for money that they owe (and who always seem to "forget" their cash) then this could be ideal for you - take the stress and time out of payment collection!

Enabled

To setup online payments, you should change "Enabled?" to "Yes" - this activates the links to make a payment for your team members. If you want to stop receiving online payments at any time then change to "No".

Add Bank Account

To receive card payments, you'll firstly need to add your bank account - use the "Add Bank Account" button and complete all requested information and Stripe (the payment processor) will verify your details.

You can add multiple bank accounts for different use cases - e.g you may receive signing on fees and monthly subs payments into different accounts

How do my team members make an online payment?

When a team member is logged in they are able to make a payment from the following areas:

Right menu -> "User options" tab -> "Make a payment"

Right menu -> "User options" tab -> "My Finances" -> "Make a payment" button

They can simply add their card details to pay any amount and add an optional message for you.

Card details are saved (stored securely by Stripe) so further payments are even simpler and faster.

Team members can add/store/remove multiple cards as needed.

When a player makes a payment, several things happen automatically:

• The payment is recorded in as a financial transaction and linked to the player - so you can see a history of all payments made to the club.

• A record of the payment is created for both you and the player (so there can't be any arguments about whether they've paid).

• The payment is deducted from their "Season Balance" (meaning you'll always know who owes money).

APPEARANCE

When you add a "match report" and specify who took part in the match (starting line-up and substitutes on/off), the amounts you set here will be used to create "charges" for your players. You are able to override these charges on a match-by-match or player-by-player basis as needed. All match charges can be viewed from the "Finances/Events" section.

CARDS

When you add a "match report" and add details of any yellow or red cards shown to your players, the values set here will be used to create charges.

Auto charge players

If set to "YES", a charge will automatically be applied to the players finances. Use this when you expect your players to pay their own fines.

Auto charge team

Set to "YES" if you want a debit to be automatically applied to the team finances for all cards entered in match reports.

Set to "NO" if you would rather manually record this payment when you actually pay (e.g. wait for notification from your league of the fine amount).
