Registration fees (separate from upgrades)

If you connect your bank account to PlayThru via Stripe, you can allow golfers to pay for their registration via credit card. For these payments, you can choose to cover the processing fees or add it to the registration cost when a golfer checks out.

Here are the fees:

  • ‍PlayThru platform fee: 2% of registration subtotal\
  • ‍Stripe processing: ~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

How to decide

If you host 3 or more events per month that need access to paid features, then subscribing is the way to go. It will save you money.

Otherwise, uplock the features on an event-by-event basis.
