For the Team Manager · Fundraise
A branded site, a team store, and your own bank account as merchant of record, with one-click payouts on your schedule. Season dues and a clean handoff to next year’s manager are being built right in.
“I run the team — travel team, booster club, whatever you call it. Every season it’s a cash box at the concession stand, dues trickling in over Venmo and paper checks, and a gear order to place. I want to collect it all cleanly into our own bank account, sell some team gear, and keep the books straight — without my personal Venmo in the middle. And when I hand off to next season’s manager, I don’t want them starting from zero. We’re not part of a school, so it has to work for us on our own.”
Sound familiar?
Season dues trickle in over Venmo and paper checks, and the cash box lives in my trunk.
Operate
Your club is the merchant of record with its own connected account — dues and concession money land in the club’s own bank, chargebacks settle against the club, and no volunteer is personally on the hook — plus one-click payouts on your schedule. Season and participation dues are being built right into this same system. The bank account and payouts are live today.
The gear order means fronting money and guessing sizes for the whole roster.
Fundraise
A branded, print-on-demand storefront — jerseys and hoodies are made and shipped only when a family buys, so there’s no inventory to front, no guessed-at sizes, and the club keeps its full markup. Donations work the same way: a flat 3%, and 100% reaches the club when donors cover fees. Live today.
At season’s end I hand the whole thing to the next manager, cold.
Govern
The roster, the vendors, the account, the decisions the board made and why — board knowledge is being built so the next manager inherits it all instead of starting from a blank page and a group chat. And because a club is a first-class org that banks on its own, none of it is tied to a school changing hands. The independent club is live today; board knowledge is being built next.
The part that matters most
An independent club is a first-class organization on PTO.pro: its own branded site on its own domain, its own storefront, its own bank account as merchant of record, and one-click payouts on your schedule. You can attach to a school later or never. Season and participation dues are being built into the same system — and so is board knowledge, so when you hand off at season’s end, the next manager inherits the roster, the vendors, and the why behind every decision instead of starting cold.
Real questions, straight answers
Yes. A club is a first-class organization — it fundraises and banks independently and needs no school to start. You can attach to a school later, or never.
Your club becomes the merchant of record with its own connected bank account, so dues, concession cash, and gear money land in the club’s account, not a coach’s — with one-click payouts on your schedule. Season and participation dues are being built right in.
Yes. The branded storefront is print-on-demand — jerseys and hoodies are made only when someone buys, so there’s no inventory to front and the club keeps its full markup.
