Lodge finance

Lodge payments that stay connected to the member and meeting.

Collect dining fees and annual subscriptions through the lodge’s own GoCardless account while the treasurer retains a clear operational view.

Why it matters

A bank payment is not a complete record until the committee knows who and what it belongs to.

References, screenshots and separate payment lists create avoidable reconciliation work. Lodge Dashboard presents payment at the appropriate point in the member journey and keeps its status attached to the booking or subscription that created it. Funds settle through the lodge's own GoCardless connection; Lodge Dashboard does not hold lodge money.

01

Matched event fees

Dining payments remain connected to the member, visitor and meeting booking.

02

Clear subscriptions

Track annual subscriptions paid in one go or through the available monthly arrangement.

03

Direct settlement

Payments move through the lodge's own GoCardless account to its bank account.

The working sequence

From setup to a dependable record.

Each step uses the information already collected by the last, keeping the lodge's operational view current without another hand-built list.

  1. 01

    Connect GoCardless

    An administrator links the lodge's own merchant account and completes the required verification.

  2. 02

    Set the amount

    Add a festive-board price or define the lodge's annual subscription arrangement.

  3. 03

    Member authorises payment

    The member completes payment through the secure bank flow at the relevant point.

  4. 04

    Track the status

    The treasurer sees payment against the correct booking or subscription without matching a separate list.

Straight answers

Common questions.

Does Lodge Dashboard hold lodge funds?

No. The lodge connects its own GoCardless account and funds settle through that account to the lodge's bank. Lodge Dashboard records and matches the operational status.

Can it collect both dining fees and annual subscriptions?

Yes. The product supports festive-board event fees as well as annual subscriptions, including the available one-off or monthly arrangements.

Who pays the GoCardless fee?

The lodge controls the fee arrangement in its payment settings. The same choice applies consistently to subscriptions and festive-board fees.
