How to take deposits and let teams pay later from the waitlist

Keep teams that haven't paid on the waitlist, hold their place while they pay, and take a deposit with the balance due by a date you choose.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 13, 2026

Unless you require payment, a team can submit its registration and pay later, and it still takes a place. You can instead keep teams on the waitlist until they pay, and let them secure their place with a deposit, paying the rest by a date you choose.

Before you start

You need to manage the event.
Both settings work with a price per team. See how to set prices.
Deposits are paid by card, so your organization needs a connected Stripe account.

Steps

In your event’s planner, click Registration Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.
Open the Pricing tab.
Set Required to complete registration to No, so a team can submit its registration and pay later. With Yes, a team has to pay before its registration is complete, and the waitlist setting below is hidden.
Set Teams that pay later wait on the waitlist to Yes. A team that registers without paying goes on the waitlist instead of taking a place. Paying takes it off the waitlist while its division has room.
Enter the Minutes a team’s place is held while it pays. While a team pays from the waitlist, its place is held so no other team can take it. With 0, no place is held: if the division fills before the payment goes through, the payment is refunded.
To take deposits, enter the Deposit (% of the price). A team can then pay that share of its price to secure its place, or pay it all. Leave it empty for no deposit.
Pick the Balance due date. Deposits are offered until that day. The creator of a team that paid a deposit gets a reminder a week before and on the day.
Click Save All Settings Changes.

On the planner’s Registrations page, a team that paid a deposit shows the balance it owes and when it’s due, and is flagged once that day has passed. What happens to an overdue team is up to you.
