## Before You Begin

- You must be signed in as the **primary manager**, an Owner, or a manager with **Can Edit Club** permission.
- Have your credit card or bank account information ready if you're adding a new payment method.

***

## How to access Payment Methods

1. Log into your Club account on Pickleball.com.
2. Click **Manage** in the upper right corner.
3. In the left-hand menu, click **Edit** (Edit Organization).
4. Click the **Payment Methods** tab.

***

## What this payment method is used for

This payment method pays organization-related service fees incurred during your Club's operation — fees that aren't collected directly from players during registration. It's charged automatically when your Club's outstanding balance reaches your Balance Cap, and/or when the organization ends and locks.

***

## Choosing whether a payment method is required

- **Must have a payment method** — requires a card or bank account on file for your Club.
- **Don't need a payment method** — skips the requirement.

***

## Setting your Balance Cap

The **Balance Cap in USD** field sets the limit your Club's account can owe before your default payment method on file is auto-charged. The default is $250, but you can adjust it.

1. Enter your preferred limit in the **Balance Cap in USD** field.
2. Click **Save**.

Your Balance Cap is updated immediately, and your Club's default payment method will be auto-charged whenever the outstanding balance reaches that limit.

***

## Managing your linked payment methods

Below the Balance Cap section, you'll see the payment methods currently linked to your organization's account. These cards are stored securely and used for all upcoming payments.

- Click **Add New Payment Method** to link a new card or bank account.
- Click **Edit** next to an existing payment method to update its details.
- Click **Delete** next to a payment method to remove it.

> **Warning:** Removing your Club's only payment method while Must have a payment method is selected may leave your Club without a way to cover outstanding service fees. Add a replacement method first, or switch to Don't need a payment method if that fits your Club.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What happens if my balance exceeds the Balance Cap?

Your Club's default payment method on file is charged automatically for the outstanding amount.

### Can I change my Balance Cap after saving it?

Yes. Update the Balance Cap in USD field and click Save again — the new limit takes effect immediately.

### What happens if I delete a payment method?

It's removed from your Club's account and won't be used for future charges. Past transactions aren't affected.

### Do I have to keep a payment method on file?

No — select Don't need a payment method if you'd rather not require one. Keep in mind your Club is still responsible for any outstanding service fees.
