Getting started with BuPay

New to BuPay? This guide walks a first-time organiser through everything needed to go from an empty account to collecting money from members. It's written for the person setting up an organisation for the first time, whether a club owner, league organiser or team manager, and covers creating your organisation, connecting payments, and setting up your first leagues, teams, games and charges. Follow the parts below in order, or jump straight to the one you need. The screenshots in these guides are shown in dark mode — BuPay also has a light mode, which you can switch to any time from Account → Appearance.

1. 1

   Set up your organisation

   Create your organisation, its first league and your first team together in one short setup wizard. This is the foundation everything else builds on.

2. 2

   Connect payments

   Link your organisation to Stripe so your teams can charge members and you can be paid out to your bank. Connect this early, because nothing can be collected until it's done.

3. 3

   Manage your leagues

   Open a league to add more teams, set up a season with season passes, and invite other admins to help you run it.

   Create a game and send charges

   Schedule a game, charge each player their share, and share a guest payment link with people outside the team. This is the flow you'll use most.

   Charge for anything else

   Kit, uniforms and one-off events can be collected too, as charges that aren't attached to a game.
