Payment availability by state

ClubKeepr lets clubs take payments online by card. What a club can take depends on the state of the club’s address, not where a family pays from. The table below is generated from the same rules our checkout uses, so it is always up to date.

What each answer means

Yes:

Clubs here can take this payment by card through ClubKeepr today.

Yes, ClubKeepr adds the tax:

Clubs here can take this payment by card, and ClubKeepr adds the state sales tax at checkout and pays it to the state.

Not yet:

ClubKeepr does not take this payment by card here yet. This is about what ClubKeepr supports today, not about whether tax is owed. Clubs can take check or cash meanwhile.

n/a:

Does not apply: the state does not charge sales tax on this kind of payment, so there is nothing to add.

No:

Online donations are off for clubs in this state because of state charity fundraising rules. Clubs can still run campaigns and record check and cash gifts.

Every state

Alaska has no state sales tax, but many Alaska cities and boroughs have their own, so card payments there wait until those local rules are settled.

Oregon and Delaware have no sales tax, so add-on packages go on the card there with no tax line. Montana and New Hampshire have no state sales tax either, but some Montana towns tax goods and New Hampshire taxes meals, so packages there wait until those local rules are settled.

An answer changes when the sales tax question in a state is settled, for example by a ruling from the state, or once our tax collection support goes live there.

What works in every state

• The rest of ClubKeepr. Registration forms, rosters, scheduling, communications, budgeting, and the rest of ClubKeepr work in every state, and the club’s ClubKeepr subscription is the same everywhere.
• Check and cash. Wherever a card payment reads “Not yet”, clubs can still take check or cash for it and record it in ClubKeepr.

Online donations

Online donations follow state charity fundraising law, not sales tax. Some states regulate platforms that take donations on a charity’s behalf, and until ClubKeepr meets those states’ requirements, clubs there have no public donation page and take no online gifts. Those states are California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Clubs in those states can still run fundraising campaigns inside ClubKeepr: they record each check or cash gift, and ClubKeepr sends the donor a receipt.

Where online donations are on, a true donation is a gift, so sales tax does not apply. That holds only for genuine gifts: a payment that returns something (registration credit, merchandise, a perk) is a purchase, and the card answers above apply to it.

States where ClubKeepr collects sales tax

In the states below, ClubKeepr is registered as a marketplace facilitator and collects and remits the sales tax due on payments families make to clubs through ClubKeepr checkout, starting on the date shown. Clubs in these states do not collect that tax on those payments themselves.

Why

Sales tax on youth sports fees and on goods varies by state, and in some states the law makes a payment platform like ClubKeepr responsible for collecting it. Rather than charge families in a state while the tax question there is open, or before our tax handling is ready where tax is due, we hold the card option there. Clubs see their state’s answers before they subscribe, and again anywhere the card option would normally appear.
