Stripe Integration
Payments built on Stripe — the world's most trusted payment infrastructure
Waresport uses Stripe to power every payment your club collects — registrations, dues, Pro Shop POS, facility bookings, and more. Transparent fees. No surprises. Money in your account fast.
How it works
From registration form to your bank account
Waresport handles the entire payment lifecycle — collection, processing, reconciliation, and payouts — without you touching a thing.
Club sets up payments
Connect your bank account once during onboarding. Stripe verifies your identity securely — no paperwork, no delays.
Families pay via Waresport
Credit card, debit, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay — any device, any registration or purchase in your club.
Stripe processes securely
Every transaction runs through Stripe's PCI DSS Level 1 infrastructure — the same layer used by Amazon, Shopify, and Lyft.
Funds deposited automatically
Payouts hit your bank on your chosen schedule. Waresport logs every payment, refund, and payout in your dashboard.
Fee transparency
Every fee, explained — no fine print
Two fees on every transaction. Both disclosed upfront. No markup, no hidden spread.
Stripe's standard card processing rate — the same rate every business pays. Waresport passes this through at exact cost, adding no markup.
Optional: clubs can pass this fee to families at checkout — a common practice for dues and event registrations.
Waresport's fee on payment volume — used to fund the platform, support, and migrations. Rate is based on your club's annual volume and confirmed on your demo.
Compare: TeamSnap 2.5–3.5% · SportsEngine 2.5–4% · LeagueApps 2.9–4%. Waresport is consistently the lowest.
Passing fees to families — how it works
Most clubs choose to pass Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 to families at checkout — it's a standard practice and families generally understand it. Waresport makes this a one-click setting per payment form. You can set it globally or override it per event or registration. Waresport's platform fee is not passed to families — it's deducted from your net payout at the platform level.
Security & compliance
Enterprise-grade security — out of the box
Stripe handles the hard parts of payment security so Waresport — and your club — never touches raw card data.
PCI DSS Level 1 Compliant
Stripe maintains PCI DSS Level 1 certification — the highest level of payment security standard. Your club inherits this compliance automatically, with no audits required on your end.
Via StripeTLS Encryption
All payment data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest using AES-256. Card numbers are tokenised — Waresport never stores raw payment details.
Bank-level encryptionFraud Detection & 3D Secure
Stripe Radar uses machine learning trained on billions of transactions to detect fraud in real time. 3D Secure authentication adds an extra layer for high-risk transactions.
Stripe RadarChargeback Protection
Stripe provides built-in dispute management tools. Waresport surfaces chargeback notifications and pre-fills dispute evidence — reducing manual work when a family contests a charge.
Dispute managementReal-Time Payment Dashboard
Every payment, payout, refund, and failed transaction is visible in your Waresport dashboard in real time — synced from Stripe with no manual reconciliation needed.
Live syncFamily-Facing Receipts
Stripe sends automatic, branded email receipts to families after every payment — including itemised breakdowns. Fewer “where's my receipt?” messages to your front desk.
AutomaticWhat you can collect
Every payment type your club needs
One Stripe integration, every collection scenario — no separate merchant accounts or third-party billing tools.
Registration & event fees
Online registration forms with built-in payment — one-time or instalment plans. Auto-confirmation to families on payment.
Recurring dues & subscriptions
Monthly or seasonal recurring billing with automatic retries on failed cards. Families manage their own payment method via a self-service portal.
Pro Shop POS
In-person card payments for gear, uniforms, and merchandise at your front desk — Stripe Terminal support, no separate POS hardware account needed.
Facility & court bookings
Public booking pages with integrated payment — families pay at the time of booking, or you invoice after. Deposits and cancellation fees supported.
Refunds & partial refunds
Issue full or partial refunds in one click from your Waresport dashboard — automatically processed through Stripe and reflected on the family's statement within 5–10 days.
Payment plans & instalments
