Set Up and Manage Classic Payments (PayPal)

TeamSnap’s Classic Payments tab allows you track fees owed by your players and have payments made right from the site through PayPal. Only the team or organization owner may set up a PayPal account to receive online payments. The associated processing fees are always charged to the owner. If you wish to pass these fees on to your players, we suggest increasing the amount of each team fee item to cover the charges. 

Important Note: For all US and Canadian customers, classic payments is being replaced by new payments. New teams and seasons will have the new payment features automatically, but you can continue to use classic payments or switch to new payments when you are ready. Learn more: Create Invoices.

PayPal has minimum and maximum of payment limits for transactions through their system. Make sure your TeamSnap fees will fit your preferred online payment type: One-Time Payment or Installment Payments

$5 Minimum

PayPal requires at least $5 USD (or the equivalent in other currencies) per online payment it transacts.

Planning on setting up installment payments? Keep in mind, if your deposit or installment payments break out to less than $5 USD per payment (the PayPal minimum), the installment payment plan option will deactivate and will not be available to your registrants during registration.

Examples

Fee Installment Plan Possible? Explanation
$25.00 $10.00 deposit + 4 monthly payments of $3.75 each N Installments are less than $5 USD each. Registrant will have to choose the one-time payment option and pay the complete $25 fee up front.
$25.00 $10.00 deposit + 2 monthly payments of $7.50 each Y Installments are greater than (or equal to) $5 USD each. The registrant can choose either the installment payment plan or one-time payment option.

$10,000 Maximum

PayPal’s installment payment plans are restricted to no more than $10,000 USD (or the equivalent in other currencies) in total fees per registration it transacts. This maximum is imposed on the total fee, not per payment. One-time payments are not affected by this $10,000 limit.

If a player’s registration fee (including fee adjustments and multiple registrants on a single form) adds up to more than $10,000 USD total, the installment payment plan option will deactivate and will not be available to your registrants.

Examples

Fee Installment Plan Possible? Explanation
$10,500.00 $500.00 deposit + 4 monthly payments of $2,500.00 each N Total fees exceed $10,000 USD for this registration. A one-time payment is still possible and will be available for the registrant to choose.
$8,500.00 $500.00 deposit + 4 monthly payments of $2,000.00 each Y Total fees are less than $10,000 USD for this registration. A one-time payment is also possible and available for the registrant to choose.
Note: If a registrant signs up multiple players on a single registration form resulting in a total amount due greater than $10,000 (even if the fee for a single registrant is <$10,000) the installment payment plan option will NOT be available to the registrant.

Create a New Team Fee Item

TeamSnap’s Classic Payments tab lets you create and track team fees owed by your players. You can track amount owed, record full or partial payments received, mark certain fees as not owed for specific members, or adjust the actual amount owed. You can also add notes with transactions, such as check numbers, balance due dates, or payment method, and opt to collect team payments online.

All payments processed online will incur approximately a 5% processing charge which will be charged to the team owner and deducted from the amount paid. The charge includes the standard PayPal processing fees of approximately 2.9% + 30¢ (your fees may be slightly different depending on your arrangement with PayPal), plus a 2% fee for TeamSnap.

If you wish to pass the processing fees on to your team, you will need to increase the fee amount by approximately 5% in order to account for the approximately 5% taken out for the PayPal & TeamSnap processing fees. For example, if you enter a team fee of $100 for new uniforms and would like to pass the associated fees on to your team, you should increase the fee by $5.00 ($100 x 5% = $5.00) and enter a total fee amount of $105.00
