SignUpGenius now offers seven payment tools, all available right from your Create menu. Whichever one fits your group's needs: selling merchandise, running an event, collecting dues, raising funds, or gathering signed forms. You can create the page, collect payments, and manage everything from your SignUpGenius dashboard.
Note: Payment tools are only available to U.S. based users with U.S. bank accounts.
Choosing the Right Payment Tool
Not sure which tool fits your situation? Here's what each one is built for:
- Online Stores – Sell merchandise, spirit wear, supplies, and more.
- Events – Sell tickets and manage event registrations for a specific date, time, or occasion with capacity limits, ticket types and event-specific reporting.
- Dues & Fees – Collect registrations, membership dues, program fees, and recurring payments.
- Peer-to-Peer Fundraisers – Empower participants to raise money through their own fundraising pages for flat donations, product sales, and activity-based "-athons".
- Fundraisers – Create fundraising campaigns and collect donations online.
- Forms & Waivers – Collect information, waivers, and e-signatures.
- Group Gifts – Collect contributions toward a shared gift.
A note on Events vs. regular sign ups: Use the Events tool only when you're charging for admission or registration, for example, selling tickets to a gala, charging a fee to join a 5K, or collecting a paid RSVP. Events adds tools built specifically for that: ticket types, capacity limits, and payment-specific reporting.
If you're just tracking who's coming to something (like a potluck, a classroom party, a volunteer shift) and no money is changing hands, stick with a regular, free Sign Up instead. Creating an Event for a free gathering adds setup steps you don't need and separates that activity from your regular Sign Ups view. When in doubt, ask yourself: "Am I collecting a payment?" If the answer is no, a Sign Up is the simpler choice.
More Ways to Collect and Manage
Whether you're selling team merchandise, running a ticketed event, collecting membership dues, raising funds for a cause, or gathering signed waivers, SignUpGenius' payment tools give you a dedicated way to collect from your community.
Each tool combines payment collection, forms, reporting, and fund management into a single experience. Instead of piecing together multiple services, you can create your page, collect payments, review submissions, and manage funds — all from within your existing SignUpGenius account.
Beyond collecting money, each tool includes features built for its specific use case. Depending on the tool you choose, you can manage inventory, track fundraising goals, collect registrations and form responses, offer recurring payments, customize the checkout experience, and access detailed reporting.
Getting Started
Creating a payment page takes just a few minutes.
- Click Create.
- Select the type of page you'd like to create.
- Complete a brief, one-time setup directly within SignUpGenius.
- Customize and publish your page.
- Share your page and start collecting.
Once created, your payment pages will appear in the new Payment Pages section of your dashboard, where you can manage pages, track activity, and access reporting.
Note: Payment pages are currently available only to account owners and primary administrators. Sub-admins will not see payment page creation or management options at this time.
Note: If you currently collect payments through a sign up, your experience is unchanged. Sign ups that use payment collection will continue to appear in your regular Sign Ups view on your dashboard, and payment management, reporting, and withdrawals will continue to be available through the Collect section of SignUpGenius’ left navigation.
Reporting and Management
Every payment page includes built-in reporting, allowing organizers to monitor their pages, track submissions, manage funds, and access payment activity directly within SignUpGenius.
Each payment page includes a dedicated Manage experience where organizers can:
- View payment activity
- Track transactions
- Review form responses and collected information
- Access downloadable reports
- Finish setup and initiate withdrawals
This allows organizers to manage both payments and reporting without switching between multiple platforms.
Withdrawing Funds
When you're ready to access your funds, simply complete your verification requirements, connect a bank account, and initiate a withdrawal.
Once your account is verified, you can choose from several withdrawal options, including:
- Standard bank transfers
- Gift card payout options
- Instant bank withdrawals - available within 30 minutes (dependent upon eligibility)
