FAQs

Q) I am getting an error when trying to pay for the levies.
 A) The issue could be one of two things:
1. If there is an issue with one of the receiving Stripe accounts i.e the LGFA Stripe account, your club will not be able to pay the levies until the issue is resolved.
2. In some cases, Counties are required to pay a levy to the Association before clubs can pay their levy, therefore if your County has not yet paid their levy, then you will not be able to proceed with payment until they do so.

Q)The Levy price is more than €400 / €250?

 A) Some Counties and Provinces have added a levy outside of the LGFA Association levy, therefore if requested to pay additional, this is because your Province/County has requested an additional fee.

Q)What are these levies for?

 A) Please contact [e-mail] to discuss these levies.

Q)Receiving an error 'Not enough funds in Stripe account' despite there being funds available?

 A) If you have funds in your club's Stripe account however, you receive an error message 'Not enough funds in Stripe account' then there is an issue with one of the Stripe accounts receiving the Levies. You will need to wait until the issue rectifies itself, before attempting to pay the levies.
