Authorize.net Payment Gateway

This service will allow the club to automatically bill its members and better maintain its membership roster. There is a set-up fee, in addition to monthly costs. There is also a fee per transaction and a batch fee.The club should first create an account with the Authorize.net website by entering the club’s name, billing address, phone number, and bank account information. Members have the option of either paying with a credit card or through direct withdraw. Members can indicate the amount and frequency of their automatic payments.

Credit CardReaders for Smartphones and Tablets

PaypalHere, Intuit Go Payment, and Square are examples of credit card readers for smartphones and tablets that can be utilized by club treasurers to collect credit card payments from members. After downloading the credit card reader app of choice to their phone or tablet, the club treasurer will enter the club’s bank account information. Most services will send a free credit card reader to the given mailing address when the app is installed. The reader fits into the headphone jack of the smartphone or tablet. To accept payments, open the app and enter the amount that the member pays for dues, then swipe his or her credit card. The payment will be transferred to the club’s bank account. There is a fee on each transaction.

Each member will indicate to the club treasurer the amount and frequency of this automatic payment for his or her dues to the club. Please contact your bank shouldyou need any assistance.
