Updated today

For general steps to connect Stripe to a store on the Admin Dashboard and for information about payouts and fees, visit the Stripe Setup & Payments guide.

Notes

  • Stripe setup is required for any online payment or refund functionality

  • If you encounter issues with Stripe account creation, login, or anything within your Stripe account, refer to Stripe Support for account-specific issues

Payment & Refund Settings

Payment and refund options can be set up for an event by navigating to the Event Details page, then clicking into the Settings tab and scrolling down to the Payment & Refunds section.

Enable or Disable Payments

Payments can be enabled and disabled from the drop-down menu on the Event Details page:

Or in Event Details > Settings > Payment & Refunds, by toggling the Collect Digital Payments option:

Enabling the Allow Players to Skip Payment setting will give players the option to either pay via Stripe during registration or to defer their payment until they are at the store in-person. Players who choose to skip online payment when they register for the event will be noted in the Players tab under the Payments column as Unpaid.

Refund Policy

The refund policy will always be set to Automatic if someone cancels before deadline by default. To disable automatic refunds, this policy can be changed to either allow event staff to process refunds manually or to disallow event staff from processing refunds at all.

Refund Policy options:

  • Automatic if someone cancels before deadline (default)

  • Given by event staff only

  • Event staff cannot give refunds

Set Automatic Refund Parameters

There are multiple ways to set a specific window for automatic refunds to ensure that players are only automatically refunded at certain times. These options can be found in Event Details > Settings > Payment & Refunds.

Auto-close Refunds

Choose a specific date and time to close refunds. Leave this option blank to close refunds manually.

Close Refunds (Minutes Before Start)

Input a number to automatically close refunds a certain number of minutes before the event starts. For example, entering "60" will close automatic refunds 60 minutes (1 hour) before the start time of the event.

Close Refunds at Capacity

Toggle this option on to stop automatic refunds when the event reaches maximum capacity.

Issuing Refunds

Manual refunds can be issued for an event at anytime, whether the event is upcoming, ongoing, or has already concluded.

Steps to issue a player refund:

  1. Navigate to the event page

  2. Click on the Players tab

  3. Find the player that needs to be refunded

  4. Under the Payment column, click the drop-down that says Paid via Stripe

  5. Select Cancel & Refund

Note: Refunds may take up to 7-14 days to process.
