How do I connect my club's payments and bank payouts?

Steps

1. Open the correct club in Club Office, then Payments. Check Club owner and Receiving business before starting. Only the authorized club owner can connect or manage the payment account; another staff role does not automatically grant this access.
2. If no account is connected and Connect Stripe is available, open it, read the setup explanation and fee statement, then continue with the business that should receive the club's money.
3. Complete the provider's requested business and bank information. If setup is incomplete, return to Payments and use Continue setup when offered, or the link to review the account in Stripe.
4. After returning, check Accepting payments and Bank payouts separately. Both must be enabled for the club to be ready. A connected account or submitted form alone is not proof that payouts work.
5. Review the receiving business again and resolve any outstanding requirements. If the club owner is missing or ownership recovery is required, resolve that club identity issue before connecting an account.
6. Return to Registration programs, review the offer and publish it when ready. Open its participant-facing page to check the price and payment path. Track each registration's actual payment status separately from the club's payment-provider readiness.

Club payments belong to the club's receiving business. Competition billing settings are a separate workflow. A ready provider account does not mean a participant has paid or a bank payout has arrived.
