68. 68 Part 7 PayPal Transaction Fees

69. People are charged a small fee when they pay you 69 When people pay you online through PayPal, they are charged a very small convenience fee You never have to worry about absorbing these fees; they are automatically added on top of the program cost you are charging For instance, if you set a $100 cost for a program, you will receive $100 from each registrant; people will be charged slightly over $100 to account for the fee Paying online is very convenient. People feel the fee is worth the added convenience. That’s why PayPal has grown to be so popular.

70. Breakdown of fees 70 On each transaction, PayPal takes a 2.9% + 30 cents convenience fee StadiumRoar keeps an additional 1%, which is used to maintain your software and pay out donations to sports-and-recreation programs (see the Go Paperless Fund section to learn more about these donations) No fee is ever taken from you, but rather, the people registering

71. Refunds 71 If someone suggests a refund from you, feel free to pay them however you would like. You are in no way required to send refunds through PayPal. You can write a check, provide cash, etc.

72. 72 Part 8 The Go Paperless Fund

73. The Go Paperless Fund The Go Paperless Fund is a program that rewards sports-and-recreation organizations for using online registration instead of paper registration; paper registration is harmful for the environment and StadiumRoar has taken a stand against it. StadiumRoar donates half of all profits generated by your organization back to your organization at the end of the season. It’s our way of saying thank you for helping the environment. 73

74. How Donations Work 74

75. Apply 75 To apply for a donation, visit the official Go Paperless Fund website at www.gopaperlessfund.com You can begin using your free online registration software right away, even if you have not applied yet or finalized your donation application; any registrations you perform prior to sending in your application will still count toward your end-of-the-season donation
