We do not work for Stripe, so we are limited on the support that we can give you in using the Stripe platform. However, we hope that the guides we have written are helpful in your queries.
You can find further information from Stripe within their support guides and you can also contact their support team on support@stripe.com
When you are accepting payments online via Stripe, these payments will not automatically appear in your bank account.
The customer makes a payment online which is processed via Stripe, the funds are then deposited into your bank account based on the payout frequency selected when setting up your Stripe account.
The funds deposited into your bank account are net of fees.
Stripe has a very simple and easy to use Dashboard, this allows you to view and manage your balances. You can also initiate refunds, review possibly fraudulent charges and manage disputes.
When you have logged into your Stripe account, you will see your home page. This page gives you a useful overview of the activity on your account.
There are real-time charts which provide insight into the performance of your business, which you can apply a date range to look at a specific period.
If you select the Payments option from the left main menu, this will list all payments that have been processed through your Stripe account.
You then have the option to view the payments as follows:
- Succeeded - payments that have been successfully processed;
- Refunded - any refunds that have been triggered directly from ClubSpark such as court booking cancellations and also refund that you have processed from your Stripe dashboard;
- Uncaptured - these are transactions where there has been an unforeseen issue at checkout, you can ignore these payments (or cancel them). Your customers are not charged. To read more about uncaptured payments please refer to Stripe - https://stripe.com/docs/radar/reviews/auth-and-capture
Stripe Reports
Stripe has a number of reports that are great and simple to use. The payouts received into your bank account are net of fees, these reports are really helpful to assist reconciling your payouts.
From the main menu on the left of your screen select Reports. Within this section you have the following reporting options:
- Balance Summary - shows the starting balance in your Stripe account, plus changes to your balance resulting from activity (payments, refunds, transfers), fewer fees deducted and payouts made to your bank account.
- Balance Change From Activity - this report details the changes to your Stripe balance from activity (payments, refunds, transfers etc).
- Payouts - provide a detailed breakdown of the payouts made from your Stripe account which you can use to reconcile to the amounts deposited into your bank account.

Change my Payout ScheduleWithin Stripe dashboard you can edit your payout schedule. This is helpful if you have to make refunds, you will be unable to do this if your Stripe account does not have any funds to payout. Depending on your own business, you will know how often you need to refund. We recommend a payout schedule of 3 or 4 days. You can also set your payout to manual, so you are in control of this.
