Online Payments
The Online Payments feature allows you to easily set up how your online payments work.
- You can now choose a default money account for event fees to post to.
- You can choose to require payment to RSVP.
- The settings page also includes information about the various payment providers we support or plan to support.
You can navigate there by going to Settings "⚙" > Online Payments.
Once there, you can then turn on the feature by clicking the button:
When you turn on the feature, you should see a screen like this:
Once here you can click any of the buttons to turn on the corresponding ability.
You can also set up the Default Money Account here:
With TroopTrack, you can also allow users to pay for event fees with credit cards. To turn on payment with credit cards, go to Settings "⚙" > Online Payments. Then do this:
- Click on the "Turn ON" button for allowing credit card payments.
- Click the "Change" button next to the Credit Card Provider setting.
- Choose "Stripe"
- Set up your Stripe account
NOTE: You can also use PayPal, but the troop must have a PayPal account where the funds can be deposited first. See the Payments with PayPal page for more info.
We recommend you also require payment to RSVP. You can override it for specific events, but it will make it easier to collect payment for events because members won't be able to RSVP without paying. When you create a more expensive event (like summer camp or high adventure) you can turn it off for just that event on the advanced tab of the event form. See Event Integrated Accounting for more info.
An important note about this feature, you will see two transactions for each payment in the account assigned to the event. The first will be a deposit for the total amount of the payment. The second will be a debit for the total amount of the credit card processing fees.
