Payment Links
Best for simple memberships, casual comp fees, donation tiers and merch pre-orders.
Stripe-ready, not live
Memberships, comp fees, fundraisers and merch
This page prepares the commercial structure without taking payments. Each item can later connect to a Stripe Payment Link, Checkout Session, or Billing flow after committee approval.
Payment architecture
Start simple, grow carefully
The safest first step is Payment Links for clear one-off products. Checkout Sessions come next when the site has forms and member records. Billing is only needed if the club approves automatic recurring renewals.
Checkout Sessions
Best when the site needs to create checkout from a form and pass member metadata into Stripe.
Billing
Best for true subscriptions, renewal retries and self-service payment updates through the customer portal.
Membership products
Current fee structure mapped for Stripe setup
Prices here mirror the currently discoverable shop products and should be checked by the committee before any live link is published.
