With TWINT and a few simple tools, most of this work disappears.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">Membership fees: a link instead of an IBAN<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of sending your IBAN and hoping, send each member a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/features\/payment-links\/\">payment link<\/a> or a digital invoice. The member pays with TWINT or card in a few seconds, and you see straight away who has paid and who hasn&#8217;t. No more bank statements to compare with the membership list.<\/p>\n<p>For members who prefer a card, the same links also accept Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">The refreshment stand: a QR on the counter<\/h2>\n<p>A printed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/features\/qr-payments\/\">QR code<\/a> next to the till lets people pay for beer, sausages and coffee with TWINT. Volunteers behind the counter don&#8217;t have to give change, and at the end of the evening the till is already counted. For busy evenings, a portable terminal helps you go even faster.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">Tickets and registrations<\/h2>\n<p>Tournaments, club dinners, summer camps, courses: create a payment page or a link with the price and share it in the WhatsApp group. Registrations arrive already paid, with no lists to chase.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">Donations and sponsors<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside your income, a donation form with its own QR code lets parents, fans and supporters back the club even without buying anything. You can offer one-off or monthly donations.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#EEF6F5;border-radius:14px;padding:18px 22px;margin:1.4em 0\">\n<p style=\"font-weight:700;color:#1D3D78;margin:0 0 .3em\">An example from Ticino<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Several organisations in Ticino already take payments with 1pay.ch, from sports clubs to volunteer associations. The most common request at the start is always the same: &#8220;we want to stop chasing membership fees&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">What it costs<\/h2>\n<p>For an association, costs need to be clear and free of surprises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\"><strong>Starter<\/strong>: no monthly fee, just a fee on what you take. If you take nothing in a month, you pay nothing.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\"><strong>Nonprofit<\/strong>: a reduced monthly fee and lower transaction fees, designed for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/solutions\/associations\/\">associations<\/a> with more activity. On a CHF 50.- donation the association keeps CHF 48.95 instead of CHF 48.25.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight:600;color:#1D3D78;margin:1.4em 0 .2em\">Starter or Nonprofit for your club<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:.4em 0 1.4em;font-size:.95rem\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border-bottom:2px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;color:#1D3D78;vertical-align:bottom\"><\/th>\n<th style=\"border-bottom:2px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;color:#1D3D78;vertical-align:bottom\">Starter<\/th>\n<th style=\"border-bottom:2px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;color:#1D3D78;vertical-align:bottom\">Nonprofit<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Monthly fee<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">None<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Reduced<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Transaction fees<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Standard<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Lower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">You keep from CHF 50.-<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">CHF 48.25<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">CHF 48.95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Worth it if<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">You take less than about CHF 8&#8217;000.- a year<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">You take more, or in busy months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Features<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">All<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E3E8EC;padding:10px 8px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">All<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nonprofit pays off from about CHF 8&#8217;000.- taken in a year.
