Yes, you can accept payments through Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Square, or similar third-party apps—but it's important to understand how these work with BoosterHub before you do.

BoosterHub does not integrate with third-party payment apps. Our payment processing runs through USIO, our built-in payment processor. There is no direct connection between BoosterHub and outside apps like Venmo or PayPal, so none of those transactions will flow into your account through our payment system automatically.

What this means for you

If a member or donor pays you through a third-party app, that payment happens entirely outside of BoosterHub's payment processing. To keep your records accurate, you'll need to account for it yourself.

• The transaction won't be processed through BoosterHub. Payments collected through Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Square, etc. will not sync or post automatically through USIO.
• You must enter or categorize each payment manually. Record the payment so the member's account, invoice, or store order reflects that they've paid.
• Some payments may import through your bank sync. If your Accounting module has a linked bank account, deposits from apps like Zelle may appear when transactions are imported—but they will come in uncategorized. You'll need to categorize them yourself so your books stay accurate.
• Reconciliation is on you. Because these funds land in your external app or bank—not your USIO merchant account—you'll need to track them separately and make sure your Accounting records match.

Recommended approach

• For the smoothest experience, encourage members to pay directly through BoosterHub so transactions are processed and recorded automatically through USIO.
• If you do accept a third-party payment, enter or categorize it right away while the details are fresh, and note the payment method so you can identify it later during reconciliation.
• Keep a record (screenshot or confirmation) of each third-party payment in case you need to verify it down the road.

While accepting these payment apps is possible, the manual entry and categorization add extra steps and room for error—so weighing that tradeoff against the convenience of in-app payments is worth doing before you offer them as an option.
