How to collect membership dues online (for free)

Collecting membership dues is where a lot of clubs quietly lose money: payments slip through the cracks, renewals get forgotten, and the treasurer spends hours reconciling a spreadsheet. Moving dues online fixes most of that, as long as the tool you use does not take a cut of every payment.

Set up membership plans

Start by defining your tiers: a free tier, an annual membership, a family plan, whatever fits your club. On ClubCP you create these as membership plans, set the price, and they become available on your club page for members to buy.

Take payments through Stripe, keep the money

ClubCP uses Stripe for payments, so dues go directly to your account. There is no ClubCP platform cut on top of standard Stripe processing, which is the difference between keeping your dues and handing a slice to a membership platform every month.

Let renewals run themselves

Recurring plans renew automatically, so you are not chasing anyone. Members manage their own membership, and you get a clear view of who is active in your admin insights.
