Hello,

I am probably just not use to searching in the forums or in the help, but is there are there comprehensive work instructions / How To’s for the setup and use of the Payment logs?

It’s not clear how the main Stripe account for the troop is setup, how it is linked and what scouts have to do to then start making payments through it. Also not clear if you use Strip to do the billing, does the expense roll back into Scoutbook? What is the level of automation?

Thanks in advance,

Sam
