What types of bank accounts can be used?

How many Stripe accounts can Coaches create?

There is no maximum number of Stripe accounts a Coach can create for PGA Jr. League. For example, a Coach can create a Stripe account for their Facility AND a Stripe account for their personal bank account. With that said, please see below for further details about how many Stripe accounts can be used actively at a given time.

How many Stripe accounts can a Coach actively use?

A Coach can only actively use one Stripe account per PGA Jr. League 'Location'. For example, if a Coach created multiple Stripe accounts, only one can be actively used to receive payment for their 'Location'.

Note: If a Coach hosts PGA Jr. League at multiple 'Locations', different Stripe accounts can be actively used for each 'Location'.

Can Coaches change Stripe accounts mid-season?

Yes! As a Coach, you can always manage your PGA Jr. League payment and change the active Stripe account at your 'Location'.

Why do Coaches need a Stripe account to receive 'online' payment'?

Coaches have two options for collecting PGA Jr. League payment - 'online' or 'offline'.

If a Coach wants to receive payment 'online', a Stripe account must be set up, and your Program must be set to 'collect payment online'. Your Players will pay both your 'Coaching Fees' + the 'PGA GameChanger Club Membership Fee' (1x annually) at online registration checkout. The 'Coaching Fees' will be deposited directly in your bank account with 3-5 days.

If a Coach wants to collect payment 'offline', you will need to receive this payment outside of the platform (e.g., in-person at your Facility). Your Players will only pay the 'PGA GameChanger Club Membership Fee' (1x annually) at online registration checkout, and your 'Coaching Fee' must be collected 'offline'.
