The payment system built for sports clubs
Take membership fees, session bookings, shop orders, and facility hire online, all in one place. One flat fee, no subscription, no separate card processing charge, and the whole fee comes back to your club if you refund. Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card payments included.
Payments that just work, for every club
ClubPal Payments lets your club accept payments online without the hassle of separate merchant accounts, invoice chasing, or manual bank transfers. Everything from membership fees to session payments flows through a single dashboard, processed securely behind the scenes.
With one flat fee of 20p + 3.5% per transaction and no monthly subscription, it's free to set up and only costs your club when you take money. Other platforms advertise “zero fees” but route your payments through Stripe or Square and let their processing fees land on you separately, with ClubPal Payments, the one fee you see is the only fee you pay. It is also the only one you keep paying for: refund a member and the whole fee comes back to your club, where most platforms keep it whether the session went ahead or not. Link payments seamlessly to membership management and session bookings for a complete club commerce experience.
It is one payment system for the whole club, whatever the sport. Football, running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, netball, canoeing, martial arts, and rugby, cricket, hockey, table tennis, gymnastics, and athletics clubs all collect money the same way: members pay in pounds, funds settle into your club’s own UK bank account, and your treasurer sees every transaction in one place.
A single, transparent fee per transaction, that's it. No monthly subscription, no setup cost, no per-member charges, and no separate card processing fee to worry about.
Some platforms advertise zero platform fees, but they still run your payments through Stripe or Square, and those processors' fees land on your club regardless. They also keep that money when you refund a member. ClubPal folds everything into one rate and returns the whole rate when you refund, so there's no second bill hiding behind the headline number and no cost to calling off a session.
Membership subscriptions, session and class bookings, multi-session passes, club shop and kit orders, facility and pitch hire, and event entries all run through the same checkout. Your treasurer reconciles one set of records instead of chasing bank transfers and cash at the door.
Payments are taken in pounds and settle into your club's own UK bank account, not a wallet you have to withdraw from. Strong Customer Authentication is applied where the regulations require it, and card data is handled by a PCI DSS Level 1 certified processor.
All the payment tools your club needs
Everything in payment processing
What the fee is in your currency
3.5% is the same wherever your club is. Only the fixed part changes, because it tracks what the card networks charge in each currency. ClubPal supports clubs in 26 countries, including the UK, Ireland and the rest of the eurozone, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Payments are taken in your club's own currency and settle into your club's own bank account.
| Where your club is | Fee per transaction |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom (GBP) | £0.20 + 3.5% |
| Ireland and the eurozone (EUR) | €0.25 + 3.5% |
| United States (USD) | US$0.30 + 3.5% |
| Canada (CAD) | C$0.30 + 3.5% |
| Australia (AUD) | A$0.30 + 3.5% |
| New Zealand (NZD) | NZ$0.50 + 3.5% |
There is no subscription, no setup fee and no per-member charge in any of them, and the whole fee comes back when you refund a payment.
Questions about the club payment app
Is ClubPal a club payment app?
Yes. ClubPal is a club payment app UK sports clubs use to take membership fees, session bookings, shop orders, and facility hire from one dashboard, accessible from any phone or browser rather than software installed on a treasurer's laptop.
Does ClubPal support cashless payments for clubs?
Yes. ClubPal is built as a cashless payment system for clubs: card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all replace cash at the door or bank transfers chased by a treasurer, with everything the club takes settling into the club's own bank account.
How does club online payment work with ClubPal?
A member pays through a secure checkout linked to their membership, session, or shop order. The club online payment settles automatically with no paperwork, and the transaction appears in the dashboard immediately with an emailed receipt.
What card payment solutions does ClubPal offer clubs?
ClubPal's card payment solution for clubs covers all major card types plus Apple Pay and Google Pay, handled by a PCI DSS Level 1 certified processor for one flat fee, with no separate card processing charge added afterwards.
What is the transaction fee outside the UK?
20p + 3.5% is the fee for a club billing in pounds. The 3.5% is identical everywhere ClubPal operates. Only the fixed part changes with your club's currency: £0.20 in the UK, €0.25 in Ireland and the eurozone, US$0.30 in the United States, C$0.30 in Canada, A$0.30 in Australia, NZ$0.50 in New Zealand. There is no subscription, no setup fee and no per-member charge in any of them, and payments settle into your club's own bank account in your club's own currency.
Does a club get the transaction fee back when it issues a refund?
On ClubPal, yes. When a club refunds a payment the whole 20p + 3.5% fee is returned to the club, in proportion to the amount refunded, so a session refunded in full costs the club nothing at all. This is unusual: most club management platforms return only their own share of the fee, or nothing, because the card networks keep the cost of processing a payment whether or not it is later refunded. ClubPal absorbs that cost rather than passing it on.
