The short answer

Enable installments in the selected season's registration setup, choose the available plan structure, and verify that the installment amounts add up to the registration fee. Registrants choose an eligible option during checkout; administrators track the resulting payment plan and installments from Payment Plans.

Before you start

  • Administrator access to Registration settings.
  • A season with a registration fee.
  • A connected Stripe account for online card collection, or documented offline payment instructions.
  • At least two installments with valid due dates.

Step-by-step instructions

Open registration setup

Choose the correct league and season, open Registrations, and go to the setup or settings area that controls fees and payment options.

Enable installments

Turn on installment payments for the season. Choose the supported preset mode or define the amounts and due dates shown by the custom installment editor.

Reconcile the total

Confirm all installment amounts equal the registration fee. Put due dates in a logical order and avoid a first due date that has already passed.

Verify payment collection

Connect Stripe before offering online card payment. If collecting offline, write precise instructions and understand that staff must record those payments.

Test the public checkout

Use the public registration path to confirm the installment choice, amount due now, and remaining schedule are clear before sharing the link.

Track each plan

Open Payment Plans to review paid, partial, overdue, and unpaid plans. Open a plan before recording an offline payment or investigating a failed automatic charge.

What success looks like

Eligible registrations create organization-scoped payment plans with individual installment amounts, due dates, and statuses that administrators can reconcile.

Common errors and fixes

Installments do not appear at checkout

Confirm the feature is enabled for that season, the registration is eligible, and the dates and amounts are valid.

Amounts do not equal the fee

Correct the custom installment amounts before opening registration; the plan total must reconcile to the fee.

A payment is still overdue

Open the specific plan, verify provider status, and record an offline payment only when money was actually received.
