Jonas Club Payments: Simplifying Payment Processing for Private Clubs

43 min.Recorded May 20263 presenters

43 min.

Summary

Costs are up, members expect a fully digital experience, and every extra vendor stitched into the stack adds risk. Payments sit at the center of all three pressures. In this session, the Jonas Club Software team and payment partner CSI Pay make the case for embedded payments, then demo Jonas Club Payments live: online and recurring payments by card or ACH, surcharging, a new one-click refund that posts the reverse cash receipt automatically, built-in reconciliation, and POS. They close with the roadmap and an extended client Q&A on integrations, devices, PCI, and funding.

What you’ll learn

  • Why running payments as a bolt-on creates the month-end reconciliation gap, and how embedding closes it
  • How one-click refunds trigger the credit card refund and post the reverse cash receipt in one step
  • The full range of member and staff payment options, from online ACH and recurring to POS, pre-auth, and folios
  • How built-in reconciliation replaces downloading portal reports at month-end
  • What's coming next: mobile POS and tap to pay, Apple Pay, and one-time payment links and QR codes

Questions about this webinar

Does this work with Jonas Encore as well?

Yes. Encore is covered, though a few features such as refunds and returns arrive slightly later, in Q2, as part of the Encore release.

Does it integrate with MembersFirst?

Yes. If you use integrated statements on a Members First site you can use Jonas Club Payments, with single sign-on so members are logged in when they reach the statements page. It also works without a Members First website, through Clubhouse Online.

Will clubs still need to complete PCI compliance reporting?

Yes. Card brand rules require both merchants and service providers to report. The benefit is that heavy tokenization significantly reduces your PCI scope, so the questionnaire is often far shorter.

How is this different from a platform like Elavon?

Integration and automation. Instead of downloading a daily export and uploading it into Jonas, transactions flow to the back office automatically. Refunds and returns are handled inside Clubhouse Online rather than in a separate processor portal.

How long until funds reach our account?

Typically about two days from the transaction to a payout, then generally the next day into your bank, occasionally two.

Do we have to replace our card terminals?

Yes. Only devices fully tested with the processor can run transactions. There are wired options, with the Lane 3600 the most popular, and wireless options, all supporting Apple Pay, Google Pay, and dip, tap, and swipe.
