Credit card payments help pickup organizers collect fees without handling cash at the rink, field, or court. BenchApp uses Stripe to process the payment and keep the fee connected to the player.
💡 Stripe may ask for identity, banking, and business details while you connect your account.
Step 1: Open Fees & Finances
Go to Team Settings.
Open Fees & Finances.
Step 2: Connect Stripe
Find Accept Credit Card Payments.
Click or tap Configure.
Follow the Stripe setup steps.
When setup is complete, BenchApp will show Stripe Connected.
Step 3: Choose payment fee settings
Use Cover Payment Fees to decide whether the processing fee is added on top of the player fee, or taken out of the amount you receive.
See What does it cost me to accept credit cards? for the current fee details.
Step 4: Use payments with pickup tools
Once Stripe is connected, you can collect eligible player and spare fees by credit card. If you also turn on Pay to Play, players can be required to pay before they check IN.
👑 This feature requires BenchApp PRO: Pay to Play for pickup and drop-in events.
