01

Open Finance

Choose Finance in the sidebar to open Payments. Authorised accounts can also use Account → Finance and billing in the header. Review the club subscription and Stripe connection status; billing details now live with the finance workspace.

02

Complete Stripe onboarding

Select Connect Stripe and complete the secure Stripe form with the club's legal, representative and payout details. NEXTXI does not collect full bank credentials in the portal.

03

Confirm account readiness

Return to NEXTXI and check that details submitted, charges enabled and payouts enabled are all complete. Follow any outstanding Stripe requirements.

04

Create payment activity

Use the relevant event, fundraising or matchday workflow to request payment. Do not create informal payment records outside the feature that owns the charge.

05

Reconcile transactions

Review successful, pending, failed and cash records. Use Stripe's payout information together with the NEXTXI player, fixture or campaign reference.

06

Manage the subscription

Review Starter, Growth or Academy for the club’s needs. Creating the workspace starts a 14-day trial without taking card details; a club admin activates a paid subscription through Stripe separately. Use the available billing action to manage the subscription and check the terms shown in Stripe. Contact NEXTXI Support if the change or cancellation option you need is unavailable. Club subscription billing and the club’s received payments are separate.

Good practice

Checks that prevent common mistakes

  • Never paste bank or card details into chat.
  • Limit finance access to authorised club officials.
  • A pending payment should not be treated as paid until confirmation arrives.
