Case Study: Swimming Australia creates a single payments platform for nearly 1,000 organisations with Stripe

Swimming Australia creates a single payments platform for nearly 1,000 organizations with Stripe

Swimming Australia, the national governing body for swimming in Australia, needed a way to manage payments across nearly 1,000 clubs and 90,000 members through its Swim Central portal. It had to handle memberships, event registrations, merchandise, and payouts for a wide range of organisations, from small volunteer-run clubs to larger teams, while keeping the experience simple and flexible.

Swimming Australia implemented Stripe Payments with Stripe Connect to embed payments into Swim Central, onboard clubs, and manage payouts through a single platform. With Stripe, it processes more than $20 million in transactions each year, supports new payment methods like government sports vouchers, and gives clubs control over payout timing. The result is a more flexible, scalable payments system that improves the user experience and supports future growth, including plans for in-person and international expansion.
