Introducing TeeTimeHelper Collect™: Simplify Payments for Your Golf Group

Running a golf group can be fun, but collecting money for events isn’t always easy. Chasing payments, tracking who paid, and covering shared expenses can quickly become a headache. That’s why we’re excited to introduce TeeTimeHelper Collect™ — a new feature that makes payment collection as simple as RSVPing.

With Collect™, you can require payments from members when they RSVP. Funds are deposited directly into your bank account, giving you a seamless way to manage money for tee times, group outings, or even your TeeTimeHelper subscription.

How It Works

1. Set the Amount: Collect from all RSVPs or only “Yes” responses.
2. Secure Transactions with Stripe: Payments are processed by Stripe and go straight to your bank account. TeeTimeHelper never handles the funds.
3. Easy Account Setup: Connect a new or existing Stripe account with one click.
4. Refund Options: Refunds can be issued through TeeTimeHelper or Stripe. Fees are not refundable.

Transparent Fees

• Stripe: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
• TeeTimeHelper: $0.50 for amounts under $20, otherwise $1.00

Example: On a $40 payment, Stripe fees = $1.46, TeeTimeHelper fees = $1.00, total fees = $2.46. You can also enable a gross-up option so the member pays the fees, ensuring you receive the exact amount you set ($40.00 in this example).

Pro Tip: Collect membership fees from your group for deposits, entry fees, fundraisers, food and beverage or even cover your TeeTimeHelper subscription.

Why Use TeeTimeHelper Collect™?

• No more chasing payments at the course
• Members pay securely when they RSVP
• Funds go directly into your bank account
• Refund flexibility when plans change
• Transparent pricing and optional fee pass-through

With TeeTimeHelper Collect™, you can focus less on managing payments and more on enjoying your golf outings. Streamline RSVPs and payments in one step.
