Accept Payments Through TroopTrack
What is it?
Each troop can link their TroopTrack account to a PayPal or Stripe account, so that the members of their troop can make online troop payments to that account. Parents can pay all their troop dues through this feature.
Link Your Troop to Stripe or PayPal
To begin accepting payments online, someone in the troop needs to link the troop's TroopTrack account with a Stripe or PayPal account. This account will be used to receive all payments made by members of the troop. To link your account, go to the page at Manage-->Settings-->Accept Payments Online. This should normally be done by the owner of the payment account, or by the owner of the TroopTrack account.
You will see the following page. Read through the details, and click the Sign up button for the account of your choice. TroopTrack will walk you through the connection process. Note: There is no longer support for accepting payments through Amazon.
Accepting Payments
Once you have this set up, a user can make payments to the troop PayPal or Stripe account. For a parent to make payments in behalf of her son, she would go to her child's user page, click on the Money tab, and click the Make Deposit link, shown below.
This link will take the parent to a page where she can enter the value of the deposit she would like to make. The minimum value for deposits is $20.00, and the value should be entered as only digits and a decimal, so type "20" or "20.00" to deposit twenty dollars. When the parent clicks the Next button, this creates a transaction in TroopTrack's system, but doesn't yet make the actual money deposit. There will be a summary page to confirm that the value is correct, and a link to continue to your payment provider's website where the parent can enter her credit card information and make the payment.
That's about It
This will deposit money into the account that was configured in the beginning, and in TroopTrack the records will show a deposit into the boy's account. A user with the privilege to manage money accounts can then create a transaction to the proper account to show where that money went.
