ClubSpark uses external payment providers to collect money from members for bookings and membership. The two payment providers are GoCardless and STRIPE. Both are registered under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and further information on their terms and conditions can be found in the links.
If a member informs you they need to change their bank details associated with their online transactions with your venue, they will need to do this with the payment provider directly. You can provide them with the information below.
For Direct Debits this will be with GoCardless.
If a member needs to change their bank details with GoCardless then you as the admin of the GoCardless account can do this via the GoCardless dashboard. Further details here: Changing-customer-bank-details in GoCardless
Please note: Only the account holder of GoCardless can do this. Clubspark support can not.
When a payer wants to update their bank details, you can initiate the update directly from within your dashboard:
- Navigate to the Customers tab and click on their name
- On the customer’s individual page, click on the bank account listed under Bank accounts
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner and then click the update bank account option. A new window will open, asking you to confirm the action.
- Once confirmed, the customer receives an email with a unique link to update their bank details. Please note that the link is for one-time use only and expires after 12 hours.
- Once the link is clicked, the customer is directed to a page where they can enter and confirm their new bank details.
- Once confirmed, our system captures the new details and:
- Creates a new bank account
- Moves the mandate(s) to the new bank account
- Deactivates the old bank account
- The customer will receive an update via email to confirm that their bank details have been updated.
IMPORTANT: If your customer does not have a UK (GBP) bank account or has a joint account that requires two signatures, you will need to cancel their mandate and set up a new one, using one of the options listed below.
