What is a staff seat?
A staff seat is one staff login. Owners do not count. Parents do not use seats. Only people who sign in to manage registration, rosters, payments, or parties need a seat. Additional staff seats can be added for $7 / month on every plan, including Parties Only.
Example: 1 owner, 2 front desk staff, and 4 instructors who log in is 6 staff seats. You can keep a staff profile without using a seat until you give them a login. Change plans any time.
Online payment processing
Online credit/debit and US bank (ACH) payments require a connected Stripe account. Cash, check, Zelle, and Venmo can still be recorded in ProgramChamp without Stripe.

Example fees for the same charge amount
If a family pays the same amount, Stripe’s approximate processing fee and what you receive after the fee:
| Charge amount | Credit/debit cards | ACH Direct Debit | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Family pays | Stripe fee | You receive | Stripe fee | You receive |
| $100.00 | $3.20 | $96.80 | $0.80 | $99.20 |
| $500.00 | $14.80 | $485.20 | $4.00 | $496.00 |
| $1,000.00 | $29.30 | $970.70 | $5.00 ($5.00 cap) | $995.00 |
Approximate fees per successful payment using 2.9% + $0.30 for cards and 0.8% for ACH Direct Debit ($5.00 cap per transaction). Actual Stripe invoices may vary slightly. ProgramChamp does not add processing fees on top of Stripe.
Optional ACH tuition incentives let you offer a percent or fixed discount at checkout when families pay by US bank account (configure in Payment settings; card payments keep the standard amount). Stripe bills processing fees to your connected account, not on your ProgramChamp subscription. Bank payments take a few business days to clear. (Stripe card pricing, Stripe US bank debits).
