ParUp Payments: Coming Soon!
From Green fees and annual subs to forfeits and penalties…
If you’ve ever organised a golf day or managed a society, you know the struggle: chasing members for money, juggling spreadsheets, and counting cash at the clubhouse. One missed payment can throw your whole day off, and chasing late fees via WhatsApp or email… let’s just say it can kill the fun before the first tee.
Enter ParUp Payments, the newest feature in the ParUp Golf app, allowing you to collect golf society fees the smart way. Designed for golf societies, friendship groups, and casual organisers alike, it lets you collect golf society fees effortlessly—whether it’s green fees, annual membership subscriptions, or even ad hoc fines. No more chasing, no more confusion, just smooth, stress-free payment management.
Why Collecting Golf Society Fees Is Still a Nightmare
Organising payments the old-fashioned way isn’t just tedious—it’s stressful. Society organisers face:
- Chasing payments through WhatsApp and emails, which quickly becomes messy and time consuming.
- Cash handling on the day, leading to delays, awkward conversations or IOUs.
- Lost spreadsheets and incomplete records, making it impossible to track who has and hasn’t paid.
- Time-consuming admin, leaving less time to enjoy the golf day itself.
Avoid painful WhatsApp discussions, spreadsheets, and cash on the day with ParUp Payments.
These challenges are exactly what inspired the ParUp Payments feature: a simple, secure, all-in-one solution for societies and golf groups.
Introducing ParUp Payments: One Place for Every Golf Payment
With ParUp Payments, everything you need is built directly into the app:
- Secure Stripe integration for peace of mind
- Linked directly to your Personal or Society bank account
- Designed for society organisers, casual groups, friends and group members
- Clear visibility of who has paid and who hasn’t
No more messy messages or last-minute cash collections—just smooth, professional payment management.
The Three Types of Payments You Can Create
ParUp Payments makes it simple for admins to charge members in three ways:
- Event Payments:
- Perfect for upcoming golf events: green fees, buggies, food, or prizes. One charge is assigned to all players automatically.
- Group Payments:
- Ideal for annual membership fees or season long prize pools. Admins can select the whole group in one go and forget about chasing individuals manually.
- Individual Payments:
- Need to charge a member a fine, forfeit, or an ad hoc fee? Select one or multiple members and handle it in seconds. Flexible and practical.
What Members See: Simple, Clear, and Fast
From a member’s perspective, paying is effortless:
- Outstanding payments appear clearly on the Payments screen in their app
- Completed payments are stored for future reference
- Pay for Group Events directly in-app in seconds
- No confusion around ‘how much?‘, ‘what’s it for?‘ and no awkward follow-ups
Members get clarity, while admins get peace of mind.
What Admins Get: Total Visibility Without Chasing
Society organisers now have real-time oversight:
- Live payment tracking of every member
- Instantly see who has paid and who hasn’t
- Don’t waste time scrolling through WhatsApp chats for updates
- Digitalise collection and forget carrying bags of cash
- Keep events organised, professional & fun!
- More time to focus on keeping your drive straight off the 1st tee, not debt collection
It’s a simple way to regain control—and make your society days more enjoyable.
Why This Beats Cash, WhatsApp & Bank Transfers
ParUp Payments isn’t just convenient; it’s a game-changer:
- Everything in one app—no lost messages or spreadsheets
- Make it easy for Members to pay on time, every time
- Reduced the stress around organising events
- Professional, streamlined experience for everyone
Finally, a system that means you can collect the fees the smart way, matching the smooth pace of a well-run golf day.
Is It Secure? Yes – ParUp Uses Stripe!
Security is a common concern with online payments. Here’s how ParUp keeps your payments safe:
- Trusted Stripe integration
- Money goes directly to the bank account the user is paying, not through ParUp
- Full encryption and payment protection
- Transparency for all members
Stripe is a comprehensive payments gateway that millions of firms use across the world to manage their online payments securely. With Stripe handling the transactions, everyone can trust the system, from casual players to serious society members.
