Require players to pre-pay before checking IN (Pay to Play)

Reduce no-shows and get paid before the game — automatically

Updated over a week ago

Tired of chasing spares for their fees? With Pay to Play enabled, players must pay before they can check IN — which means you get paid upfront and no-shows drop significantly.

⚠️ Requires PRO + Stripe: You need an active BenchApp PRO subscription and a connected Stripe account to use this feature. Payments are deposited directly into your Stripe account. A fee of 3.9% + 30¢ is added to each transaction.

How to turn it on

  1. Scroll down to Prepay Required

  2. Toggle it on

How it works for players

When Pay to Play is on, players who try to check IN will be prompted to pay their spare fee first. Once payment is confirmed, they're checked in automatically. If a game fills up before they pay, they'll be placed on the waitlist.
