Registering for GAA Membership online and paying by instalments

Foireann Support
  • Updated

INSTALMENTS

GAA registrations must be completed on Foireann. If your club is wishing to accept Instalment Payments via Foireann from your club members then your club must complete the following two tasks:

  1. Setting up the Club Stripe Account ( See HERE for more information on how to set up)
  2. Creating Membership Options (See HERE for more details on creating your options)

If your club has set up membership options which enable instalment payments, your members will be able to pay for their membership online over a set period of time.

Please note that instalments are only available for clubs in Ireland, UK, Austria, Finland, Spain and the Netherlands

MEMBER FLOW

The following steps and screenshots outline the process club members will follow to register with your club on Foireann.

  1. Navigate to the Membership section.
  2. Click on the ‘Register’ button beside the membership option which applies to them.

  1. There are three steps a member must complete when selecting a membership option:

    • Add Members
    • Consent Forms & Code of Conduct
    • Payment Method

  1. Within Step 1, Adding Members to Package, choose the member which this option applies to.

    • Family members names will appear in the dropdown for selection if a family has been set up.

    • The number of Adult or Youth entries available will depend on how the membership option has been configured.

  1. Click Continue

  2. Within Step 2, Consent Forms & Code of Conduct, members are asked to review their information (including their medical and consent details) and read/agree to the code of conduct.

    • Members will be able to edit the information listed by clicking on the ‘Edit Profile’ button.

    • If the membership option has more than one member listed, the information and code of conduct will need to be reviewed and confirmed for each individual.

  1. Click Continue.

  2. Within Step 3, Payment, the relevant payment options will be displayed. The payment options listed will be determined by how the membership option was configured.

  3. Underneath the ‘Pay In Instalments’ option, click ‘Pay In Instalments’.

10. A confirmation popup will appear informing the user that they are being redirected to Stripe. They will also be informed of the monthly instalments for the membership option which they have selected.

 

  1. Click the ‘Confirm’ button.
  2. Within the payment page, more information regarding the instalments will be outlined.

NOTE: The first payment will be taken on the day which they create the instalment plan and each recurring payment will be taken on the same date each month for the duration of the instalment plan.

For example, if the instalment plan was created on the 9th of February for 4 months, the payment schedule would be as follows: 9th of February, 9th of March, 9th of April and Final Payment on 9th of May.

  1. Click on the ‘Add A Payment Method’ to add your card details. Please note that you will be redirected to Stripe to enter the relevant details.

14. Complete all fields and click the ‘Save Card’ button.

15. The member will be redirected back to Foireann whereby the newly saved card details will be listed for the member to choose. Tick the checkbox beside the Card Details and click ‘Create Instalment Plan’.

 

16. The member will be redirected back to Foireann whereby their membership record is updated to ‘Fully Registered’.

NOTE: If the membership does not update automatically when directed back to Foireann, please refresh/reload the page.

 

17. By clicking on the membership record, the member will be able to see more information regarding their membership including the payment status which will state ‘Part Paid’ until all instalment payments have been made. They will also be able to see each ‘successful’ or ‘failed’ payment within the instalment plan.

 

Only when the member has been verified by an administrator, they will receive a  welcome email from the GAA outlining their membership number.

NOTE: If a payment fails i.e there are insufficient funds or the card expires, the system will attempt to take the payment 4 times over the course of 4 weeks. If all 4 attempts fail, it will be up to the club admin and club member to arrange for an alternative method of payment for any outstanding payments.

 

 

ADMIN FLOW

When a member has created their instalment plan, the ‘Membership’ column beside their record will update.

 

By clicking on the membership record, the admin will be able to see more information regarding the instalment plan including payments (both successful and failed), receipts and membership status of the member.

 

 

 

NOTE: If your club decides to ‘Revoke’ the instalment membership then the membership record will update to ‘Revoked’ on Foireann however the remaining instalment payments will still be debited from the member’s bank account. It is up to the club to manually refund the member each month for the debited amount.

Revoking the instalment membership will not cancel the monthly subscription.

NOTE: If a payment fails i.e there are insufficient funds or the card expires, the system will attempt to take the payment 4 times over the course of 4 weeks. If all 4 attempts fail, it will be up to the club admin and club member to arrange for an alternative method of payment for any outstanding payments.
