How are people registering/paying entry fees for tournaments online?

To comply with COVID 19 guidelines, our club which is already new to the state, now must come up with online registration, as well as online payment. I haven't the foggiest idea of how to set something up fluidly yet. Is anyone else running something similar to what I am trying to accomplish? I just need a clear and concise registration form, and something set up to exchange money. These are regular 5 fish limit tournaments with weigh ins at the launch, not online.

We've been using Paypal for years, it's worked fine...We also give members the option to mail in a check if they don't want to pay the Paypal fees, but must go for the the convenience of Paypal.

 

For registration a simple email to the Tournament Director is sufficient.  He keeps track of the registrations and the treasurer keeps track of the payments from Paypal or check.  

 

It's been working for us since before COVID...So we don't need to change any of this to comply with COVID stuff in our state (MD).  FWIW our club is about 60 members and in normal, non-COVID years we hold 13 tournaments per season.

PayPal and Venmo are the best ways to do it.  I recommend everyone download both apps because they are useful in numerous situations.

Thank you guys. Now if I could find a deal on a decent scale, we would be ready to weigh some fish. There's not many scales out there to choose from.
