How to start a payments app for sports clubs: subs, match fees and kit
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Grassroots sports clubs run on volunteers who spend evenings chasing subs, collecting match fees in cash and matching bank transfers. A payments app built for clubs, with regular subs and simple payment links, can save them hours. If you're involved in a league or coach several teams, you already know your first customers.
What clubs need
- Monthly or yearly subs collected automatically.
- Payment links for match fees, tournaments and kit.
- A list of who has paid and who hasn't.
- Easy reports for the treasurer and the annual meeting.
Reaching clubs
Leagues, county associations and coaches talk to many clubs at once. One happy treasurer who recommends you at a league meeting can bring in several clubs, so make it easy for them to share.
Keep it simple
Volunteers change every season, so the app has to be easy to hand over. Clear fees, simple set-up and a way for parents to pay without creating an account all help.
