Here you can find the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the new MyBSAC platform, powered by Sport:80.
Can you make Stripe payment links for things such as try divers, scuba refresh or kit hire?
You can if you have your own Stripe account, there is an option for you to set one up.
When adding new members, can we select branch levy with Direct Debit (DD)?
Yes, you will be able to select the club fee for each member and chose the DD option.
In the MyBSAC guide under "Direct Debits", it states...
Branch Levy system will be similar at first, BSAC HQ will collect monies on behalf of clubs and reimburse them; longer term, clubs will be able to set up their own Stripe accounts if they choose to and monies will be paid directly into their accounts (more quickly).
Can you give any more detail about the expected future use/operation of the Stripe accounts, as these appear to carry charges of 1.5% + 20p per transaction.
A separate club Stripe account is optional but the club would then have to pay the Stripe commission fees.
Can we have a different fee for DD versus non-DD? My branch offers a £10 discount for DD since it is less admin chasing people and retention is better.
You can set up a new levy category so you can have a higher fee for non-DD members.
Can branches decide whether to accept monthly payments as they do now? Also can branches have the option to only accept auto-renewal?
Yes to both.
Is there still a £10 discount for the first year of direct debit signup?
We are not currently able to do this automatically.
Can members still pay via club and not by Direct Debit. Is the payment system only for card payments?
You will be able to pay by bank transfer.
Will each individual member have to re-set up their Direct Debit on the new system? And what about those currently in setup? (our club has just switched a lot of members to DD so quite a few waiting for first payment to land).
All current DD instructions will be carried over to the new system and will be collected by Stripe/ Sport80 and so any members with an active DD will be transferred over.
Can we still pay memberships to HQ by bank transfer, as we do now when the renewal notice comes from the BSAC membership team?
Yes, you will be able to select bank transfer as a payment option.
