Golf Genius Golf Hub
Stripe is a credit card processing company many of our customers use to collect payments online. Before you can accept online payments through Golf Genius Golf Hub, you must create a Stripe account and connect it to your event's registration. In this article, we will discuss how to accomplish this.
Note: Stripe charges a small fee per transaction. Visit www.stripe.com to see their current pricing.
Creating and Connecting a Stripe Account
There are typically two scenarios when it comes to connecting a Stripe account:
Use Your Stripe Account: Payments go through your Stripe account and the bank account you've entered. This option is recommended if you want payments to go to your checking account.
Use Another Stripe Account: Payments do not go through you — you'll be "hands-off" when collecting and dealing with payments. We suggest this approach when a club has a company outing and wants payments to go directly to the company. The individual/company will need to go to www.stripe.com and create an account.
To create and connect a Stripe account, follow these directions:
Navigate to Registration Setup for your event — either by clicking "Save & Continue" on the Setup page, or from your Dashboard's My Events table.
In the Payment section, select "Online" as the payment method.
Click "Connect Stripe Account." You'll be redirected to Stripe's login/registration page (as shown below).
Do one of the following:
Create a New Account: Complete account setup. This requires an email, password, and mobile phone number. Have your bank routing and account number ready, as well as your business EIN (if available). If operating as an individual, entering your SSN is optional, but omitting it may delay transferring collected funds to your bank account.
Use an Active Stripe Account: Enter your existing email and click "Next." You'll be asked for a password and the account you'd like to use.
After registering or signing in, you'll return to the Payment section, and your Stripe account will be connected. The name of the connected account appears in the Connected Account dropdown (as shown below).
Note: To add a new Stripe account, click "Connect a Different Stripe Account." To connect to the existing Stripe account dashboard, click the blue "S."
