Simple Setup
How It Works
Connect Your Bank Account
Link your league's bank account through our secure onboarding process. Verification takes minutes, not weeks. Once connected, funds from registrations and invoices settle directly to your account on the schedule you choose.
Set Up Fee Structures
Define registration fees, team fees, referee fees, tournament entry costs, and any other charges your league collects. Attach discounts, promo codes, and installment plans to any fee type.
Collect and Track
Payments flow in through registration forms, emailed invoices, and a self-service payment portal. The dashboard shows total collected, outstanding balances, upcoming installments, and recent transactions in real time.
Report and Reconcile
Generate financial reports by season, division, team, or custom date range. Export transaction-level data for your accountant or treasurer. Reconcile payouts against bank deposits with a downloadable settlement report.
Capabilities
What You Can Do
Multiple Payment Methods
Accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover via credit or debit card. Families pay with the card that works for them, and you receive funds regardless of which card network they use.
Installment Plans
Offer two, three, or custom-interval payment plans so families can spread the cost over time. Cards on file are charged automatically on each due date. Failed payments trigger retry logic and admin alerts.
Automated Invoicing
Send invoices for team fees, ref deposits, or any ad-hoc charge. Invoices include a one-click payment link. Unpaid invoices are followed up with automatic reminders on a cadence you set.
Refund Management
Process full or partial refunds to the original payment method from the admin dashboard. Refunds are logged with a reason code, and the registrant receives an automatic email confirmation.
Financial Reporting
View revenue by season, division, or fee type on a visual dashboard. Export detailed transaction logs to CSV for your accountant, and generate summary PDFs for board presentations.
PCI-Compliant Security
All card data is handled by a PCI Level 1 certified processor. Sensitive payment information never touches your servers. Tokenized storage means returning families can pay with one click next season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the transaction fees?
Credit and debit card transactions carry standard Stripe processing fees plus a 1% leaguearc platform fee, all displayed transparently before you enable payments. You can choose to absorb fees or pass them to registrants.
How fast do funds reach my bank account?
Standard payouts arrive in two business days. You can view pending settlement amounts on the dashboard at any time and download payout reports for reconciliation.
Can I send invoices for things other than registration?
Yes. Create invoices for team fees, tournament entries, uniform costs, facility rentals, or any custom line item. Each invoice includes an online payment link and follows your automatic reminder schedule.
How do failed payments get handled?
The system retries failed charges up to three times over a configurable window. If all retries fail, the admin is alerted and the registrant receives an email to update their payment method.
Can I offer scholarships or fee waivers?
Apply a full or partial discount to any registration. Scholarship recipients go through the same registration flow, and the waiver amount is tracked separately in your financial reports for grant reporting.
