UPDATE - 9/9/2024 @ 12:45 PM ET: We’ve added the functionality for school managers to pay for their players’ Open memberships on the platform. Please see the blog below for more information.
On the Playfly College Esports Competition Platform, team designations denote membership levels. “Open Premier” and “Open Standard” are paid on a per student basis on the competition platform. Payment must be completed before a player can register for a competition, whether that’s a team registering for the first time or a player joining an already registered team.
Purchasing a Membership
To purchase a membership, users can navigate to their own Profile and access the Team Designation Fees menu (see below).
If a player pays for Open Standard and later wishes to upgrade to Open Premier, please reach out to League Officials. We will refund the Open Standard fee once the Open Premier fee has been paid, ensuring continuity of service through the upgrade period.
Purchasing Memberships for Others
School Managers are able to purchase Open memberships for any student registered under their school page on the platform. To do so, log in to your Manager account and navigate to the student’s profile. You will have the option to pay their fees under the Team Designation Fees menu (pictured above).
Not a school manager yet? Reach out to our admins at esports-support@playfly.com or via Discord to get promoted.
All fees paid through the platform are credit card transactions. See Purchasing Memberships in Bulk below for alternate payment methods.
Purchasing Memberships in Bulk
If your school is interested in purchasing Open Memberships in bulk or if your school is unable to pay via credit card, we offer an off-platform option as well! Your school representative can visit and complete our Open Membership Invoicing form HERE.
When completing this form, you will be asked for your contact details, your program’s billing information and to identify the number of Standard & Premier memberships to include in the invoice. Afterwards, our team will follow up to collect competition platform team or user profile URLs to identify which students should be granted which membership status.
Once identified, the appropriate memberships will be assigned to each student identified and/or on those teams, up to the number purchased. Then the teams will be ready to be added to their respective seasons.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our team at esports-support@playfly.com or create a support ticket in our Discord so our support team can assist you and your program!
