Payments tuned for social & country clubs
At Social & Country Clubs, card mix, ticket size, and timing change your true rate more than a headline quote ever will. In practice: dues that renew.
At Social & Country Clubs, card mix, ticket size, and timing change your true rate more than a headline quote ever will. In practice: dues that renew automatically, with card-updater and retries. Cost and risk spike when in-person sales billed at higher tiers than they actually qualify for, or when fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders. We configure best card-present pricing with interchange-plus pricing you can verify, plus dues & memberships when you need it.
