# Dues & Payments

Transparency Hub Network supports flexible dues collection with integrated payment processing through **Stripe** and **Paystack**.

## Configuring Dues

Dues are configured per [membership type](/platform/membership-types). Each type specifies:

* **Amount** and **currency**
* **Billing cycle** — one-time, annual, or custom period
* **Auto-recurring** — whether to charge automatically on renewal

## Payment Gateways

</CardGroup>

Connect your gateway in **Association Settings → Payment Settings**.

## Payment Methods

Members can pay via:

* **Online payment** — Through the member portal using the configured gateway
* **Manual recording** — Admins can record offline payments (cash, cheque, bank transfer)

## Tracking Payments

The **Payments** dashboard shows:

* **Recent transactions** with status (completed, pending, failed)
* **Outstanding dues** — Members with overdue payments
* **Revenue summary** — Total collected by period
* **Export** — Download payment records as CSV

<Tip>
  Use filters to view payments by membership type, chapter, date range, or status.

## Payment Receipts

Members automatically receive an email receipt after each successful payment. Admins can resend receipts from the payment details page.

## Refunds

<Info>
  Refunds must be processed directly through your Stripe or Paystack dashboard. Record the refund manually in the platform to keep records in sync.
