Email a sponsor their invoice straight from Pactgrove. They pay by card or bank transfer on a secure page, the money lands in your club’s own bank account, and the payment shows up on your balances without anyone typing it in.
Online payments are optional and off until you turn them on. Nothing about how your club already collects money has to change first.
One button in Settings. Have your EIN, the club’s bank details, and photo ID for whoever is responsible for the account.
Open a sponsor’s commitment and email their invoice. It carries your club’s registered legal name, not ours.
They get a secure payment page. Card or bank transfer, no account to create, and partial payments are fine.
The money settles into your account and Pactgrove records the payment against that sponsor on its own.
Pactgrove issues invoices through Lalo Docs, which collects card and bank payments through Stripe. Your club is the merchant of record the whole way through, so the sponsor relationship and the money both stay yours.
Sponsors pay by credit card or bank transfer (ACH) on a secure hosted page. No account, no login, no PDF to print and mail back.
Funds go directly into your club’s own bank account on the processor’s normal payout schedule. Pactgrove never holds, routes, or touches your money.
Payments taken online post themselves against the right sponsor and balance. If something is corrected or removed on the payment side, Pactgrove catches it and puts the balance back.
A sponsor can pay half now and half after the season starts. Every payment lands on the same balance and the amount due follows along.
Due dates and past-due status stay current on their own, and Pactgrove surfaces the sponsors worth a nudge today rather than at the end of the season.
When a sponsor hits reply on their invoice, the message reaches your club’s inbox. No shared mailbox nobody reads, and no vendor in the middle of your conversation.
Your registered legal name and details print on the sponsor’s invoice and receipt. A business can hand it straight to their bookkeeper.
Nothing forces a sponsor online. Cash, cheques, and transfers get recorded the same way they always have, on the same balance as the card payments.
The invoicing account is set up for your club behind the scenes. There is no second product to shop for, subscribe to, or log into separately.
Plenty of fundraising platforms take a percentage, or bury a “suggested tip” in the sponsor’s checkout. Pactgrove takes neither. The only fee on a sponsorship is the payment processor’s own rate, billed to your club by Stripe.
We take no percentage of a sponsorship, and there is no platform fee added on top of the processor’s rate.
Your club’s Lalo Docs invoicing account comes with Pactgrove. There is no separate plan for your club to pay for.
Less the processor’s fee, every dollar settles into your club’s own bank account. Nothing is withheld or passed through us.
Card and bank payments are processed by Stripe at its published rates, charged to your club directly as the merchant of record. No markup is added, so what Stripe publishes is what your club pays.
ACH is dramatically cheaper than card processing on a large sponsorship, and it is offered right alongside the card option on the sponsor’s payment page. On a $5,000 banner sponsor, that difference is real money for your program.
Your sponsor is asked for the amount on the invoice. They are not asked to top it up to cover a platform, and they are not shown a default tip they have to decline.
A club that never connects online payments still sends invoices and tracks every balance. Processing fees only exist when a sponsor actually pays online.
Pactgrove didn’t reinvent billing. It plugs into a real invoicing product and a payment processor your sponsors already trust, so you get the parts of both that matter without managing either.
The invoicing engine behind every invoice Pactgrove sends: numbered documents, hosted payment pages, receipts, and a payment record your treasurer can reconcile. Your club’s account is provisioned automatically, so nobody has to sign up for anything.
The processor that actually moves the money, under a connected account in your club’s own name. Card details never touch Pactgrove, and disputes, receipts, and payouts all belong to your club.
For clubs whose books already live in QuickBooks. Pactgrove’s invoicing is built so the provider can be swapped without changing how your club works, and QuickBooks is the next one being wired up.

Send the invoice from the same place you track the sponsor, let them pay however they like, and give your treasurer a balance that was already right when they opened it.
