Clubs can use the online payment functionality which is built into the myAthletics portal to send requests to your club members to pay their club membership fees and England Athletics registration fees online. Using the online payment functionality reduces the administration burden on clubs to collect payments in exchange for a small transactional charge of 1.4% +20p per transaction. The online payment functionality is integrated with Stripe, one of the most secure payment gateways used worldwide.


Once the online payment process has been completed, funds from the athlete’s payment are automatically transferred to the club’s bank account via Stripe. If the club has included the England Athletics registration fee in their membership, the registration fee will be automatically paid to England Athletics and the member will be registered to compete as soon as England Athletics receive the payment.


Your Club Treasurer and Membership Secretary will receive an automated receipt whenever a club member pays using the online payment functionality and you can keep track of your online payments through the Stripe reports which are integrated in to the portal.
