# Checkout with Stripe

You've added your gymnasts, fixed any validation issues, and everything looks good. Now you want to pay and lock in the registration. Stripe handles the credit card side of things.

## Prerequisites

* [Gymnasts added](/registration/add-gymnasts-to-registration.md) (and optionally [coaches](/registration/add-coaches-to-registration.md))
* All participants must pass validation (no rejected status)

## Steps

1. In the registration sidebar, click **My Cart**.
2. Check the **Participants** tab. Accepted gymnasts and coaches will be registered. Waitlisted gymnasts go on the waitlist (you still pay for them upfront). Rejected gymnasts are excluded from checkout and need to be fixed first.
3. Check the **Additional Products** tab if the meet offers any extras.
4. Review the **Summary** panel on the right. It shows base prices per level, late fees (if applicable), additional product costs, and the total.
5. Click **Submit and Pay**.
6. Your browser opens the **Stripe checkout page**.
7. Complete payment on the Stripe page.
8. After payment, you're redirected back to Gym Art Meets.

## After payment

Accepted gymnasts are registered right away. Waitlisted gymnasts stay on the waitlist and will be registered if spots open up. Your payment record shows up in [Payment History](/registration/view-payment-history.md).

## Good to know

You don't have to register everyone in one batch. You can come back and add more gymnasts later, then pay for the new batch separately.

Late fees are calculated automatically based on the registration deadline and the current date. You'll see them in the summary before you pay.

If the Stripe checkout page doesn't open, check your browser's pop-up blocker. Some browsers block the redirect by default.
