# Collecting Registration Fees

> Charge players or teams when they register for your event.

## Before you start

You need to [connect your Stripe account](/org-admins/connect-stripe) before you can collect payments. If Stripe isn't connected, players will see an error at checkout.

## Set a registration fee

When creating or editing an event, set:

* **Price** — the amount in dollars (e.g. `75` for \$75.00)
* **Payment mode** — charge per player or per team

Leave the price as `0` for free events — players can still register without needing a payment method.

## Payment modes

| Mode           | How it works                                          |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Per player** | Each player pays individually when registering        |
| **Per team**   | The team captain pays a single fee for the whole team |

<Tip>
  Per-team pricing works well for leagues where teams register together. Per-player pricing is better for individual sign-ups where players join teams after registering.
</Tip>

## How players pay

Players pay via Stripe Checkout during registration. Fieldday supports all major credit and debit cards. Payment is processed immediately — players receive a confirmation email from Stripe.

## View payments

Go to **Admin → Events → \[Your event] → Registrations** to see each registration and its payment status:

* **Paid** — payment was successful
* **Pending** — registration submitted but payment not yet completed
* **Failed** — payment attempt failed
* **Manual** — marked as paid manually by an admin (e.g. cash payment)

## Mark a payment as manual

If a player pays by cash or e-transfer, you can mark their registration as paid manually:

1. Go to **Registrations**
2. Find the player
3. Click **Mark as paid**

## Refunds

Refunds are issued through your [Stripe dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com) — go to **Payments**, find the transaction, and click **Refund**. Fieldday doesn't currently support refunds directly from the admin panel.
