Payment Flow

Payment Flow

Note: Elevate Golf does not hold or manage payment details. All transactions are processed by PayPal.

The payment flow on Elevate Golf is designed to be simple, transparent, and fair for both Coaches and Players.

When a Player submits a Tip request, the price is confirmed upfront and payment is completed securely through PayPal. This ensures that every request is paid in advance, giving Coaches confidence that their work will be rewarded.

Once payment is confirmed, the request and funds are allocated to the Coach, minus Elevate Golf’s platform fee. Elevate Golf treats Coaches as partners rather than suppliers, which is why payments are made before a Tip is delivered.

All transactions are tracked within the platform, and Coaches can view their earnings history at any time. Payments flow directly through PayPal, which processes the transaction and handles associated fees. Elevate Golf itself does not store payment information. For account setup or related support, Coaches should visit the PayPal website.

By keeping the payment flow automated and transparent, Elevate Golf ensures that focus remains on coaching and Player progress rather than on chasing payments. For further details, see Receipts, Invoices & Taxes and Refunds & Cancellations.
