How to create a Stripe account to start processing online payments?

ClubZap uses Stripe as our payment platform for secure payment processing. You will need to create a new Stripe account via the ClubZap Admin portal to handle online payments and connect your club/organizations bank account.

Stripe is the payment interface used by ClubZap to handle online payments for club membership and other fundraising initiatives. To use Stripe you will need to create an account first which will be used for transferring money into your clubs account for online payments. It only takes 2 minutes and you will need your Bank IBAN number!

Only an admin can connect the Stripe account to ClubZap, ensuring that the setup process is secure and managed by authorized personnel.

Please note that only an admin can perform these steps, so ensure you have the necessary permissions before proceeding.
