HuddleUp integrates with Stripe for secure payment processing. Families can pay registration fees, team dues, and more directly in the app.

How Payments Work

When a family registers for your program and a fee is set, they complete payment during the registration flow. Payments are processed securely through Stripe — HuddleUp never stores card information.

For Organizations

Setting Up Stripe Connect

Before you can collect payments, you need to connect a Stripe account:
  1. Go to Organization Settings > Payments
  2. Tap Connect with Stripe
  3. Complete the Stripe onboarding flow:
    • Enter your bank account information
    • Verify your identity
    • Confirm your organization details
  4. Once connected, you can start creating payment requests
Stripe onboarding typically takes a few minutes. Once approved, funds from payments will be deposited directly into your connected bank account.

Creating Payment Requests

  1. Go to your Organization or League settings
  2. Tap Create Payment Request
  3. Set the details:
    • Amount — The fee amount (e.g., $100)
    • Description — What the fee is for (e.g., “Spring 2026 Registration Fee”)
    • League — Which league the fee applies to (all families in that league receive the request)
  4. Save and send
All families in the selected league receive a push notification about the new fee.

Viewing Payment Status

Your organization dashboard shows a summary of all payment requests:
  • Who has paid — Families that have completed payment
  • Who is pending — Families that haven’t paid yet
  • Total collected vs total outstanding
Track payment progress at a glance to know when to follow up.

For Families

Receiving a Payment Request

When your league posts a new fee, you’ll receive a push notification. The payment request appears in the app with the amount, description, and league.

Completing Payment

  1. Tap the payment request
  2. Enter your credit or debit card details
  3. Confirm payment
  4. Done — your payment is processed securely through Stripe

Viewing Receipts

After payment, a receipt is available in the app showing:
  • Amount paid
  • Date of payment
  • Description of what was paid for

Fee Structure

HuddleUp charges a 5% application fee on each transaction. This fee is deducted automatically from the payment amount.
ExampleAmount
Registration fee$100.00
HuddleUp fee (5%)-$5.00
Stripe processing (~2.9% + $0.30)-$3.20
Organization receives$91.80
The 5% application fee supports HuddleUp’s platform and keeps the app free for families. Standard Stripe processing fees also apply.

Payment Status Lifecycle

Each payment goes through a status lifecycle:
StatusMeaning
PendingPayment request sent, awaiting parent action
SucceededPayment completed successfully
FailedPayment attempt failed (card declined, insufficient funds, etc.)
RefundedAdmin issued a refund for the payment

Security

All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. HuddleUp never stores your card information. Card data goes directly to Stripe’s secure servers.
