Continuing the discussion from Army & Sea Cadets smashing it again (& occasionally the Scouts):
Starting a new thread for this, if I was rolling out this feature for RAFAC on Bader I would base it on GOV.UK PAY and set it up so it wasn’t enabled until a unit has entered an API Key.
That way you enable the functionality and empower units to take digital payments without any issues of where the payment is going to.
Electronic ways of paying is a essential function for any organisation. It is an essential business function. Paying cash into a bank from a business has history. If the RAFAC does not embrace it will effect the growth or the organisation. This needs to be driven top down and not bottom up with each unit doing something different or not at all. How many events do we still do where a cadets has to hand over a wad of cash at the first day of a camp or course.?
FYI this is how RIAT Camp feed (£20) is going to be collected this year
it was trialled by SWR last year and considered successful enough to roll out nationally this year
Locally we are large users of GoCardless, and then sqns also have a SumUp for Canteen
