What does our club need to use StriderPay?
StriderPay is the built‑in payment system on the Strider platform that lets parents pay for rallies, clinics, and activities right from their phones or computers using credit/debit card, Venmo, or PayPay. The money goes straight to your club’s account securely and in real time.
➨ Make sure your club has a PayPal Business account — that’s all StriderPay needs to process secure payments., regardless of what the rider pays with.
➨ Reach out to your Club Treasurer, or whoever controls your club’s PayPal account. Ask them to be ready to approve STRIDER to process payments to your Pony Club.
➨ Log into Strider and send your Treasurer a StriderPay Connection Invite. You’ll receive an email when the Treasurer finishes the connection.
Approval usually takes just a few minutes, and there’s no cost to your club to use StriderPay.
Once connected, you’ll see payments arrive right into your bank account. No more chasing down checks or deposits.
