How do I handle split payments for club fees?
Waresport lets you offer installment plans on any registration or dues form. You set the number of payments and the schedule — parents opt in at checkout and their card is charged automatically. No manual tracking, no awkward follow-up calls.
Can parents pay club fees in installments?
Yes. You create a payment plan (e.g. 3 equal monthly payments) and parents choose it at registration. Waresport handles every charge automatically and notifies you only when a payment fails. You can also create flexible plans where parents pick their own start date.
What happens if I cancel?
There are no contracts — you can cancel at any time. Your data is yours: you can export a full CSV of your roster, payment history, and form submissions before you leave. If you return within 90 days, everything is still there.
How is Waresport different from just using Google Forms and Venmo?
Google Forms and Venmo get you started, but they don't connect. You end up copying names into a spreadsheet, manually matching payments to registrations, and chasing parents via text. Waresport connects registration, payment, roster, schedule, and comms — so you do each step once and the rest happens automatically.
How long does migration from TeamSnap or SportsEngine take?
Most clubs are fully migrated and live in under 2 hours. Waresport's team imports your rosters, family contacts, schedules, and payment history in one call. You don't need to re-enter anything.
Can I run multiple sports from one Waresport account?
Yes. Multi-sport clubs manage all programs — soccer, volleyball, basketball, and more — from one dashboard. Each program has its own roster, schedule, and registration, but you see everything from a single login. Great for rec centres, sports complexes, and multi-sport academies.
Does Waresport work for youth recreational leagues or only competitive clubs?
Both. Competitive travel clubs use Waresport for tryout management, advanced roster tools, and recurring billing. Rec leagues use it for seasonal registrations, simple scheduling, and parent communication. The same platform scales from a 20-player house league to a 600-athlete competitive program.
What payment processor does Waresport use? Are there transaction fees?
Waresport uses Stripe for payment processing. There is a standard card processing fee (typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction) which can be passed to parents or absorbed by the club — you choose. On top of that, Waresport charges a platform fee of 0.25–0.75%, or you can opt into the 3% per-registration model with no monthly subscription.
Is there a mobile app for parents and athletes?
Yes. Parents and athletes download the Waresport mobile app (iOS and Android) to view schedules, receive push notifications, make payments, and message coaches. The director dashboard also works fully on mobile — no separate app required for admins.
