A Payment Link or a full three-option checkout?

The difference matters: a Payment Link can offer cards and Pay by Bank. Stripe Bank Transfer needs a supported integration such as Checkout with a Customer, or Invoicing. It is not supported on Payment Links. Stripe compatibility ↗

05 / CLUB ADMIN · CHECK THE PAYMENT JOURNEY

Check the page before sharing it

Your technical team handles simulated payments and failure scenarios separately. As club admin, review the live payment page and confirm the club is ready to receive genuine payments.

1. Open the live payment page

   Follow the same website button a member will use. Check the club name, description, currency and amount. For a donation, check the amount entry works.

   You should seeThe correct club and payment details, with no test-mode label.

2. Check each payment option is available

   Review Cards and Pay by Bank. If your provider added Bank Transfer, confirm that it is offered too. Check wallet availability on supported Apple Pay and Google Pay devices. You do not need to submit a payment to review the page.

   You should seeThe methods your club intends to offer. If one is missing, ask your website provider to check the integration and Stripe configuration.

3. Get confirmation from your website provider

   Ask them to confirm they have tested successful, failed and cancelled payments, card fallback, delayed bank transfers and refunds. These simulations are their technical work.

   You should receiveConfirmation that payments update the right club record once, and that Bank Transfer stays “Awaiting payment” until funds are confirmed.

4. Agree how the club will check its first payments

   Nominate who will review the first genuine member payment or donation after launch. Check the amount, payment status, receipt, fees and payout reporting. Handle a refund through the club’s normal process if one is needed.

   You should haveA named club contact who can reconcile payments and follow up on anything unexpected.

Live payments move real money and incur fees. Stripe requires simulated payment testing to use its test environment; do not make artificial live payments or use test card numbers on a live page. Stripe testing guidance ↗

06 / BEFORE YOU SHARE A PAYMENT PAGE

Your launch checklist

When these checks are complete, publish the payment button and share it with members. Your live Stripe settings are already active; “launch” means opening the finished journey to members. Ticks are saved only in this browser and can be cleared.
