Switching to Boutstream's integrated payment processing has been a game-changer for our wrestling club. Collecting fees and managing transactions used to be a hassle with endless paperwork and constant follow-ups. Now, parents can pay securely online, and all payments are tracked automatically. It's incredibly convenient, and the small transaction fee is well worth the time and stress we've saved. Boutstream has truly simplified our financial management!
Frequently asked questions
Everything You Need to Know About Boutstream's Features and Fees
Do I have to pay to use Boutstream?
No, Boutstream is free to use for most users. You can access all the core features—like roster management, event creation, and team sign-ups—without any cost. We believe in providing valuable tools to the wrestling community at no charge.
When are fees applied, and who pays them?
Fees are only applied when processing payments through Boutstream, such as collecting team dues or event registration fees. The transaction fee is deducted from the payouts to coaches and event administrators. This means the person making the payment (e.g., parents registering their child for an event) pays only the amount specified, and the fee is subtracted from the organizer's proceeds.
How much are the transaction fees for payment processing?
We charge a small transaction fee of 6% + $0.50 per transaction. This fee is deducted from the payouts to coaches and event admins to cover the costs of secure payment processing and to help us maintain and improve the platform.
For example:
- Transaction Amount: $20 (event registration fee)
- Total Paid by Participant: $20
- Transaction Fee: $20 x 6% + $0.50 = $1.70
- Amount Received by Organizer: $20 - $1.70 = $18.30
Is payment processing on Boutstream secure?
Absolutely. We use trusted payment gateways to ensure all transactions are secure and encrypted. Your financial information is protected with industry-standard security measures, so you can process and receive payments with confidence.
Can I use Boutstream without using the payment processing features?
Yes! If you prefer to handle payments outside of Boutstream, you can continue to use all our core features for free. You're not obligated to use the integrated payment processing—it's there for your convenience to simplify transactions if you choose to use it.
