Set up your account in advance

You’ll want to sign up for your Snap! Spend account a few days before you start collecting. Once your account is activated, you’ll be able to start setting up teams and customizing player payments immediately.

Collect a non-refundable deposit

Non-refundable deposits are great for a number of reasons. They give players the ability to reserve their spot on the team and force indecisive players to make a decision and stop shopping around. Collecting a deposit is also the easiest way to get parents signed up to Snap! Spend and in the system. To pay your deposit you have to pay online, to pay online you have to signup to Snap! Spend. Once parents are signed up, they’re either paid up in full or on autopay which makes your life easier for the rest of the season.
