Last updated 7 October 2026
Not sure about online payments yet? Try them on a test team first. It works like a real team, but every payment goes through Stripe's test mode, so no real money moves.
Start a test team
- Open Your account: from the menu under your initials on your team's pages, or Your account on your club's pages.
- Under Try payments, choose Start a test team.
It opens straight away. Every page of it, and its parents' pages, says it's a test team.

Take a test payment
- Add a child or two and what you collect, as you would for a real team.
- Turn on online payments. Stripe's sign-up runs in test mode, so you can fill it in with Stripe's test details.
- Open a child's parent link and pay with card 4242 4242 4242 4242, any future date and any CVC.
The payment arrives and is matched, just as a parent's would be.
Good to know
- It's your own team, with no club, and you can have one.
- Nothing is sent to anyone, unless you invite a co-manager on purpose.
- Plans on a test team never cost anything.
- It's left out of everything Clubtab counts.
When you're done, choose Delete Test team under Try payments. Everything in it goes. Your real teams aren't touched.
