Four numbers, every fee, and six questions to ask any vendor. Built to be printed and handed across a board table.
A 2026 study of 337 youth sports clubs found dues collected online came in at 98.2%. Dues collected offline, meaning checks, cash, and payment apps, came in at 83.6%. Same families, different rails.
Across the ten platforms benchmarked in July 2026, none offered per-team payout routing. Every one of them pools registration money into a single organization account and leaves the club to do its own internal fund accounting. Clubside routes each payment to that team's own connected account at the moment of the charge.
A two-pay or three-pay costs a family exactly what paying in full costs. Per SportsEngine’s published fee schedule, a $100 registration split into three payments carries an effective fee of 9.25%, because the fixed per-transaction fee repeats on each installment.
Your organization connects its own Stripe account. Registration money lands in your bank on Stripe’s schedule. Nobody holds it, nobody disburses it back to you, and the account stays yours if you leave.
Sources: collection rates from a 2026 study of 337 youth sports clubs. Per-team payout finding from a benchmark of ten youth sports platforms, July 2026. Installment figures per SportsEngine's published fee schedule. Clubside figures as published on clubside.io/pricing.
This is the whole list. There is no seventh fee on a page you have not read.
Paid by the family at checkout as its own labeled line item. Capped at $7 per family per season, so the third sibling on is free. Non-refundable.
At the rate published on your plan. 1.5% on Starter and Club, 1.0% on Pro, 0.5% on Enterprise. Nothing on money you record manually.
2.9% + $0.30, paid directly to Stripe on your own account. We never mark it up and we never bundle it into a single number you cannot take apart.
Starter is free with 3 teams and 75 players. Club is $49 per month, Pro is $99 per month, both discounted annually. No setup fee, no contract.
Money moves through your organization's own Stripe account. Your club is the merchant of record and payouts land in your bank on Stripe's schedule, not ours. See the full platform fee benchmark if you want to check our numbers against everyone else's.
Including us. If a vendor will not answer these in writing, that is the answer.
Miami Valley Xpress, a ten-team Ohio travel fastpitch club, runs its season on Clubside. Ten teams, per-team payout routing, and every fee on the page their families see.
I set their registration up myself. That is the offer for your club too: send me your team list, your age cutoff, and last season's form in whatever format you have it, and I will build it for you.
A 2026 study of 337 youth sports clubs found online collection came in at 98.2% while offline collection, meaning checks, cash, and payment apps, came in at 83.6%. On a $150,000 season that gap is roughly $22,000 that has to be chased or written off.
On Clubside, yes. Each payment routes to that team’s own connected Stripe account at the moment of the charge, so the 12U team’s registration money is in the 12U team’s account with nobody moving it. Across the ten platforms benchmarked in July 2026, none offered this.
On Clubside, nothing extra. A two-pay or three-pay costs the same as paying in full, because we never repeat a fee across installments. That is not true everywhere: per SportsEngine’s published fee schedule, a $100 registration split into three payments carries an effective fee of 9.25%.
Your organization. You connect your own Stripe account, registration money lands in your bank on Stripe’s schedule, and the account stays yours if you ever leave Clubside.
Yes. Admins and head coaches can mark an invoice paid manually, so the ledger stays complete even for money that never touched a card. Your dashboard shows the split between on-platform and manually recorded collection.
