Collect payments without the awkward chasing
Membership fees, event tickets, ad-hoc charges. Members pay online, money goes to your club. Powered by Stripe. Stripe's standard processing fees plus a 1.5% ClubPlaces platform fee apply.
Chasing bank transfers is nobody's idea of fun
"I'll transfer it tonight." They never do. Three weeks later you are sending another awkward text. The treasurer has a notebook full of who owes what. Nobody enjoys this.
The awkward chase
Asking a friend or neighbour for money is uncomfortable. Asking them a second time is worse. Asking a third time means you just stop asking and the club absorbs the loss.
Mystery bank transfers
A payment appears in your account with the reference "BACS PAYMENT J SMITH". Which J Smith? For what? Membership or the quiz night? The treasurer spends an hour matching payments to people.
Cash handling
Envelopes of cash in a biscuit tin. A trip to the bank. Counting coins after a fund-raiser. Cash handling is a headache for the treasurer and an audit risk for the club.
Your club is the merchant of record
ClubPlaces uses Stripe Connect to handle payments. This is the same technology used by platforms like Shopify and Deliveroo. Here is what that means for your club:
When a member pays, the money goes directly into your club's Stripe account and then to your bank account. ClubPlaces never holds your money. Your club is the merchant — you have full control of your funds, your refunds, and your Stripe dashboard.
- Direct to your bank — money goes to your club's bank account, not ours
- Your Stripe account — you connect your own Stripe account during setup. It takes five minutes
- PCI compliant — Stripe handles all card data. No sensitive information touches our servers
- Instant reconciliation — every payment is automatically matched to a member and a purpose
One platform, every type of payment
Whether it is annual membership fees, a fiver for the quiz night, or a one-off charge for a new club kit, ClubPlaces handles it all in one place.
Membership fees
Collect annual or monthly membership fees online. Members get a payment link, they pay, and their membership status updates automatically. No chasing, no spreadsheet updates.
Event payments
Charge for events at the point of registration. Members pay when they sign up, so you know who is coming and who has paid before the event even starts.
Ad-hoc charges
Kit orders, fund-raising donations, facility hire, match fees. Create a one-off payment request and send it to specific members or share a public link.
Every payment, tracked automatically
No more matching bank transfers to names in a spreadsheet. Every payment in ClubPlaces is automatically linked to the member who made it, the purpose it was for, and the date it was received.
Your treasurer gets a real-time dashboard showing total income, outstanding payments, and a breakdown by category. Export the data for your accounts or your AGM report in a single click.
- Real-time dashboard — see income, outstanding amounts, and trends at a glance
- Member payment history — every member's profile shows their full payment record
- Export for accounts — download payment reports as CSV for your bookkeeper or accountant
- Refund management — process refunds from within ClubPlaces. They go back to the member's card
Simple, transparent pricing
ClubPlaces is £10/month with a 30-day free trial. On top of Stripe's standard UK card processing fee of 1.5% + 20p, we charge a 1.5% platform fee on each online payment. That is how we keep the monthly subscription low and the platform sustainable.
Worked example: Your club has 80 members paying £25 annual membership.
Total collected: £2,000
Stripe fees (1.5% + 20p each): £46.00
ClubPlaces fees (1.5%): £30.00
Your club receives: £1,924.00 (96.2% of total)
Transaction fees are Stripe's standard 1.5% + 20p plus a 1.5% ClubPlaces platform fee on each online payment. See full pricing details.
