Sound familiar?

Collecting money the old way is a part-time job.

Chasing cash and checks

Texts, envelopes, "I'll bring it next week." You're a volunteer, not a debt collector.

Gear that never comes back

A jersey here, a helmet there. By season's end your inventory — and your budget — is short.

The awkward second ask

Nobody likes reminding a parent they still owe. So it doesn't happen, and the club eats the cost.

The fix

Refundable depositsthat pay for themselves.

Take a refundable deposit when you hand out equipment. When it's returned, playerkit refunds it automatically — no spreadsheet, no awkward conversation. If it never comes back, your club keeps the deposit to put toward a replacement. Either way, you're covered.

A deposit is a real, refundable charge — not a temporary hold.

Simple, honest pricing

No surprises. Parents pay exactly what you ask.

Online payments are available on paid plans. Stripe charges its standard processing fee, and playerkit adds a 2% fee on non-refundable charges — refundable deposits are the only exception. Deposits pass through with no playerkit fee. Your club covers these costs, so parents are never surcharged.

StripeStandard card-processing fee. See Stripe's current rates at Stripe pricing ↗.
playerkit2% on non-refundable charges — fees, enrollment, fundraising, store sales. Club-absorbed.
DepositsPass through with no playerkit fee.

And because your club has its own Stripe account, accounting software that connects to Stripe can reconcile your transactions directly — less manual bookkeeping, no exports from playerkit.
