Congleton Bears
On-line Payment System
Background
In order to take full advantage of our charity status and in an effort to improve club-wide communications,making the payment of annual subscriptions easier for members and more effective for the club,we have decided to continue to roll out the online payment system through the club’s Pitchero website. This provides the opportunity to pay for all types of membership subscriptions by either a one off payment or twelvemonthly instalments by Direct Debit. To take full advantage of this system we would request that all members utilise this form of payment. Using this system will allow us to make the subscription collection process simpler for everyone and ensure that our website can become a powerful communications tool.
Payment Through the Club Website
The club’s website can be found at
From the Home page you can either ‘login’ (if you are already registered as a member of the site) or ‘join the website’ – (this is free and takes five minutes).
Once you have joined and logged in your name will appear in the top right hand side of the home page.
On the home page, click on the ‘Payments’ option on the top bar.
You will then see the following screen:

Once you have selected which ‘product’ you require you will open up a payment screen:-
You will then be asked to ‘Buy this product via GoCardless’ – click on this.
You will be then be directed to a screen that will ask you a number of questions:
The first will ask, “Who are you buying this for?” Using the search box you should locate the player(s) or member you are buying the membership for. For single junior memberships, parents should link the purchase to the players name and not their own.
Secondly, you will be requested to complete some emergency contact details, and
Finally, you will be asked to sign a Gift Aid declaration. As the club now has Charitable Status, Gift Aid will add significantly to our fundraising efforts. Please ensure you complete this section if you can.
You will then be asked again to ‘Buy this product via GoCardless’ – click on this.
You will then be directed to the Gocardless website where you can simply set up the Direct Debit – if you already have a Gocardless account or set one up with your bank details.
Once the payment has completed you are returned to the Payments tab and it confirms the payment (one off or direct debit) that you have set up. You will also receive an email from GoCardless confirming receipt of your payment/instructions.
This should be straightforward but if you have any problems please contact Mike Somers on 01260 280270 / 07403 142782 or Francoise Vignon on 07894 444252.
