FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything committees want to know before booking a demo — from onboarding to POPIA.
Getting started
How long does it take to get started?
Most clubs are up and running within 48 hours of signing up. Our onboarding team assists with importing your member list and configuring your club. We will not leave you to figure it out yourself.
Do I need technical expertise to run ClubCo?
No. ClubCo is designed for club secretaries and committee members, not IT professionals. If you can send an email, you can use ClubCo.
Can we import our existing member list?
Yes. We support CSV import. Our onboarding team will help you map your existing spreadsheet columns to ClubCo fields. Bring your Excel or Google Sheet as-is.
Is there a free trial?
We offer a free 20-minute demo rather than a self-serve trial — this means your demo is configured for your sport and club size, not a generic sandbox. Book a demo and we will set up a test environment for you to explore.
Membership and members
Do my members need to download an app?
No. ClubCo is fully browser-based. Members access their profile, view invoices, and register for events from any phone or computer — no download required.
Can we have multiple membership types (junior, senior, social, life)?
Yes. You can create as many membership categories as you need, each with its own fee and renewal cycle.
How do we handle member renewals?
ClubCo sends automated renewal reminders to members before their membership expires. You control the timing and the message. Members renew online — no admin required.
Can a member be in more than one team or category?
Yes. Members can hold multiple roles (e.g. senior member + coaching assistant) and belong to multiple teams.
Billing and payments
How does invoicing work?
ClubCo generates invoices automatically for membership fees, event entry fees, and any ad-hoc charges. Members receive a professional PDF invoice via email.
Do you process payments directly?
Live payment processing (card, instant EFT) is on our roadmap. Currently, ClubCo tracks payments against invoices — members pay via your existing bank account, and you record the payment in ClubCo.
What currency are invoices in?
South African Rand (ZAR). All pricing and invoicing in ClubCo is ZAR-native.
Can we charge different amounts to different member types?
Yes. Each membership category and event can have its own pricing. You can also add manual line items to any invoice.
Privacy and data (POPIA)
How does ClubCo handle our member data under POPIA?
ClubCo is designed to be POPIA-aware: we support consent tracking at registration, data minimisation (we only collect what is needed), and the ability to handle member access and deletion requests. We strongly recommend your club reviews your own POPIA obligations with a qualified legal professional — compliance depends on how your specific club handles data, not just the software you use.
Where is our data stored?
Member data is stored on servers in South Africa. We do not sell or share member data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Can a member request deletion of their data?
Yes. ClubCo supports data deletion requests. You can remove a member's personal data from the system at any time, subject to your own record-keeping requirements.
Support
What support is included?
All plans include email support. Growth and Club Pro plans include priority support with faster response times. Club Pro includes an SLA and a dedicated onboarding specialist.
Do you offer training?
Yes. We provide onboarding training for your committee as part of setup. We also maintain a help centre with written guides and short video walkthroughs.
What if we have a problem during our race season?
Growth and Club Pro customers get priority support precisely for busy periods. Email us and we respond within 4 business hours (Growth) or 2 hours (Club Pro).
