Payments Standard

Good

for start-ups, one time events, and smaller/seasonal operations. You feel that online payment is an important feature that your participants expect, and that many will use. You know that collecting a good percentage of fees online saves you time - but you would like to avoid committing to monthly fees and other overhead costs that a more complex solution would include. You also want something quick and easy - you don't want to invest much time in the payment solution at this stage.

• 

• Inexpensive (no monthly fees)
• Quick and Easy (fastest integration)
• Fewest Requirements (all you need is a PayPal account)

Not a Good Fit for

orginizations of medium to large size, that want a professional e-commerce experience in which participants are able to check out and pay without leaving their site. Also not suitable for leagues that need to store payment info.

• 

• Less Professional
  Participants will leave your site during a sign up to submit payment with PayPal, and then return to complete registration. Participants' credit card statements will list PayPal as the payment processor.
• Stored Payment Info Disabled
  As participant card info is not stored, you cannot charge late fees, cancelation fees, or forfeit fees in your admin. You will have to track down players and captains for payment info in these situations.
• Funds are Delayed
  Payments are deposited into your PayPal account, not your bank account (3-5 days until available for withdrawal)

Player Payment Experience

With PayPal Standard enabled, players and Captains must leave your site to submit payment at PayPal. ALL payment areas will include a PayPal check out button.

After submitting their preferred payment on PayPal, they will return to your site to complete registration.
