Payments & fees

Momentum handles two separate kinds of money: your organisation's subscription to Momentum itself, and payments your members make to your club (registrations, kit, fundraising). This guide covers both, plus tracking what individual players owe.

Connecting your organisation to Stripe

To accept payments from your members — registrations, fees, club product sales — your organisation needs its own Stripe account connected.

1. Go to Settings → Payments.
2. Under Stripe Connect, select Connect Stripe account.
3. Complete Stripe's onboarding steps in the window that opens.
4. Once connected, you'll see your account status: Charges enabled/disabled and Payouts enabled/disabled. If you see a note to complete your Stripe account setup, finish that before payments will go through.

You can jump to your Stripe dashboard directly from this card, or select Disconnect if you need to stop accepting payments — you can always reconnect later.

Good to know: Momentum takes a 10% platform fee on payments processed through your connected account.

Connecting a team

Some teams collect their own fees separately from the organisation — for kit, fundraising, or team-specific costs.

1. Open the team and select the Payment button in the header (or go to its payment settings directly).
2. Under Payments, select Connect Stripe account and complete onboarding.
3. Once connected, the card shows the same Connected, Charges enabled and Payouts enabled indicators as the organisation-level connection.

Managing your subscription plan

Your organisation's own subscription to Momentum is managed separately from Stripe Connect.

1. Go to Settings → Payments and find Platform subscription.
2. Compare the available plans — Free, Basic, Pro and Enterprise — each lists what's included (number of teams, scheduling, payment processing, analytics, and so on).
3. To move to a paid plan, select Upgrade on the plan you want.
4. Once subscribed, your current plan is shown at the top of the card. Select Manage plan to open the billing portal, where you can update your payment method, view invoices, or cancel.
5. To cancel, select Manage plan or use the Downgrade option — your organisation moves to the Free plan at the end of the current billing period.

The payments dashboard

Payments (in the Money section of the sidebar) is where you see everything moving through your organisation's Stripe account:

• Net balance, gross volume, pending amounts and successful charges at the top.
• A table of recent activity — every charge, refund and payout, with its date, description, type, status and amount.
• Export CSV to download the activity table.
• Refresh to pull the latest activity, or Connect & plans to jump straight to your Stripe and subscription settings.

Tracking player fees per team

Fees owed by individual players — registration costs, kit, subs — are tracked on each team, separately from the org-wide payments dashboard.

1. Open the team and select the Fees tab.
2. The Fees collected tile shows how much has been paid against the total due.
3. The Player fees table lists each player with what they're due, what they've paid, and their status (paid, overdue, partial, waived, or pending).
4. To record a payment, select Update payment next to a player, enter the amount paid and an optional payment reference (a Stripe payment ID, cheque number, or similar), then select Save.

See Teams for everything else on managing a team's roster and settings.

Good to know

• The organisation's Stripe connection and a team's Stripe connection are independent — connecting one doesn't connect the other.
• Your platform subscription (what you pay Momentum) and Stripe Connect (what your members pay your club) are entirely separate systems — disconnecting Stripe doesn't affect your subscription, and vice versa.
