How can an Irish rowing club collect and track subs?

Row HQ keeps yearly subs, event entry costs, session fees and individual charges in one ledger. Committees decide which categories accept Stripe cards, bank transfer or either method. Card proceeds reach the club's connected Stripe balance, while bank transfers are entered manually against the relevant member item.

This is standard Row HQ functionality on every band, including the free band. Use the Irish pricing page to find your membership range.

Keep a full year of club money connected

The treasurer can move from renewal charges to reminder emails and accounts exports with one consistent source.

Irish club member charges and payment status in Row HQ

Raise items

Give each amount a member and purpose

Record membership subs, race entries, chargeable sessions or an isolated amount. Set card, transfer or both as the permitted method for that category.

Status filtering gives the treasurer a useful list without changing the underlying ledger.

Paid and unpaid rowing club memberships in Row HQ

Follow up

Start reminders from the unpaid list

The membership secretary can compare settled and outstanding renewals. Row HQ sends a club-branded message to one member or to everyone still due.

Scheduled renewals create new membership charges automatically.

Prepare files

Export receipts for the club accounts

Take a payments ledger CSV, the Xero bank-statement file or the QuickBooks three-column file. Each option contains money the club has received.

Row HQ prepares CSV downloads; it does not run a live accounting connection.

Committee administration area for an Irish rowing club

Check detail

Explain the balance from the source record

Open the original charge from the administration area. Card detail shows the current Stripe processing fee, net amount and date of payout.

The committee reaches finance through the same control area as its other club records.

The club receives its own income

Card proceeds settle with your connected Stripe account

The rowing club links a Stripe account it controls. Payments made there settle to the club's Stripe balance. Row HQ neither holds that income nor adds a separate platform charge to the member transaction.

Stripe's standard processing fees remain payable. Each card record carries the live fee, the sum left after processing and its payout date.

Stripe processes cards on behalf of the connected club account.

Keep club accounts ready for the AGM

Amounts due, receipts, reminders and corrections remain traceable on the member item.

Pieces held in different places

  • Annual subs separated from race entry money
  • IBAN transfers checked outside the member list
  • Once-off fees typed into a second spreadsheet
  • Arrears copied into a fresh reminder email
  • Invoices and refund notes filed independently

One traceable payment record

  • All member charges collected in a common ledger
  • Bank receipts matched to their exact outstanding item
  • Card costs, payout data, invoices and refunds attached
  • Membership payment progress on the club administration dashboard
  • Received funds available for accounts import

Straightforward controls for community club money

The treasurer gets the evidence needed to answer a member, correct a mistake or prepare the books.

Collection rules for each category

Allow card payment, bank transfer or both. Members in Ireland see the club IBAN when transfer is offered, and the currency display follows club configuration.

Branded PDF invoices

Send the member a PDF carrying the crest, contact information and registration details. Irish records use the VAT label. Stripe separately emails a card receipt for no charge.

Scheduled subs and regular extras

Let renewals run automatically, repeat items such as rack fees, or add one equal once-off amount for several members through the charging tool.

Reminders from the real arrears list

See the current paid and unpaid membership split, then send a single or bulk branded notice. Members can settle the item from their online profile.

Accounts data in familiar layouts

Download the full payment ledger, a Xero bank-statement CSV or a QuickBooks three-column CSV. Receipts arising from club events stay identifiable.

Reversals that preserve the history

Issue a complete Stripe card refund on the charge page. An offline receipt can return to pending, and a withdrawn or cancelled session booking voids its fee automatically.

Deal properly with paid sessions and occasional rows

Optional prepaid balances and competition entry charges remain part of the main club accounts record.

A balance for members who pay per row

Enable the wallet where the club uses prepaid sessions. A member tops up by card, or the treasurer records cash. Row fees deduct from the balance automatically. Correct refunds return to the wallet or card, and the member sees the balance in the portal.

Fees controlled by session attendance

Apply a charge to a session or template and specify which attendance types pay. An attending response creates it. A withdrawal or cancellation voids it automatically. Related entry money stays in its own category.

One line of sight from subs to accounts

Payments questions for Irish rowing clubs

The important details about club ownership, Stripe fees, transfers and accounts exports.

It is held in the club's own connected Stripe balance. Members pay through that Stripe account, not into a Row HQ account. Row HQ does not possess the proceeds. The payment detail displays the Stripe fee, net result and payout date for the card transaction.

No. Row HQ adds no platform fee to a member charge. Stripe's standard processing fees continue to apply when the member pays by card. Rather than quoting a fixed percentage, Row HQ records the live fee and resulting net amount on that charge.

Yes. A club may offer bank transfer, card or both for a selected category. Irish members see the club IBAN when transfer is enabled. After the payment reaches the account, the treasurer posts it manually to the correct open item. Irish screens use "Cheque."

The treasurer can make a full card refund through Stripe from the charge detail page. An offline payment can be reversed, putting the member item back into pending status. Wallet money returns to the prepaid balance or original card correctly.

No. There is no automatic sync. Row HQ offers the complete ledger CSV, a Xero bank-statement CSV and a QuickBooks three-column CSV for money received. The treasurer downloads and uses the suitable file in the club's accounting process.

Yes. The free band includes the same club payment functions as every paid band. Row HQ has no paid feature tiers and payments are not an optional add-on. Standard Stripe processing fees continue to apply where members use cards.
