Group owners can get started with Payments from their Settings page found in their group menu. Since access to Payments requires GroupSpot verification and approval, the ability to request access to Payments is an Owner-only setting not available to Admins.
Once your group has been approved and Payments are available, Owners can grant any group member access to Payments using role based permissions from the member directory. Here’s how Owners can get started with Payments:
1. Open your group menu and tap Group Settings.
2. Scroll down to Core Settings and tap Features.
3. Under Premium Features, tap Payments. This is your gateway to setting up Payments.
4. The first screen is GroupSpot’s Terms and Conditions. Once you’ve carefully read through how GroupSpot handles Payments and you’re comfortable with the terms and conditions, check the box at the bottom of this screen to agree. Tap NEXT to continue.
5. On the next screen, add your organization details. For more formal groups, you can include legal name and Tax ID. For less formal groups, Tax ID is not required. Tap NEXT to continue.
6. Once your organization details have been provided, add your representative contact details. Tap NEXT to continue.
7. Once you’ve provided your organization and representative details, add your bank details so that GroupSpot can deliver your Payouts by ACH bank transfer. Tap NEXT to continue.
8. The final step in the setup process is to Review & Submit your group details to GroupSpot for verification and approval. Once all required fields are provided, tap Done to initiate the review process.
9. You will receive an email on the status of your application once your submission has been reviewed.
10. Upon a successful review, you will receive an email from GroupSpot confirming you have been approved to use Payments on GroupSpot.
