Money makes sports camp go round — but managing it shouldn't be a headache. Between registration fees,
deposits, refunds, and the occasional bounced check, camp payment logistics can turn a coaching dream into
an accounting nightmare. CampID's Stripe-powered payment system handles the financial side so you can
focus on the athletic side.
The Old Way Was Broken
If you've ever managed camp payments manually, these scenarios will feel painfully familiar:

  • The check that never arrived: "I mailed it last week, I swear."
  • The Venmo request: Unprofessional, hard to track, no receipts.
  • The cash envelope: Handed to a coach who stuffed it in a bag and forgot about it.
  • The spreadsheet of doom: Manual tracking of who paid, who owes, who needs a refund.
    These methods create confusion, delay revenue, and project an unprofessional image. In 2026, families expect
    — and deserve — a modern payment experience.

How CampID Payments Work

Powered by Stripe

CampID's payment processing is built on Stripe, the same payment infrastructure trusted by companies like
Amazon, Google, and Shopify. When a family pays for camp through CampID, their payment is processed
securely through Stripe's PCI-compliant system. Credit card numbers are never stored on CampID servers.

Seamless Checkout

Payments happen right in the registration flow. Families fill out the registration form, review their
information, enter payment details, and submit. No redirects, no separate invoices, no follow-up emails with
payment links. It's one smooth process from start to finish.

Instant Confirmation

The moment a payment processes, both the family and the camp director receive confirmation. Parents get a
receipt. Directors see the registration and payment reflected in their dashboard immediately. No more
wondering if a payment went through.

For Camp Directors: Financial Clarity

Real-Time Revenue Dashboard

CampID's director dashboard provides real-time visibility into your camp's finances. See total revenue,
individual payments, outstanding balances, and refund history at a glance. Export financial data for your
bookkeeper or accountant with a single click.

Flexible Pricing

Configure your camp fees to match your business model:

  • Flat fees: One price for the full camp session
  • Tiered pricing: Different rates for different session lengths or age groups
  • Early-bird discounts: Reward families who register early
  • Sibling discounts: Reduce the barrier for multi-child families
  • Deposit + balance: Collect a deposit at registration and the balance closer to camp

Refund Management

Cancellations happen. CampID makes refund processing straightforward through Stripe's built-in refund
tools. Full refunds, partial refunds, or credit toward future sessions — handle them directly from your
dashboard.

Automatic Reconciliation

No more cross-referencing payment spreadsheets with registration lists. CampID automatically links every
payment to a specific registration, giving you a single source of truth for who's registered and who's paid.
