Integrations
Club management software integrations, for the few things a club gets from outside
Handicaps from the USGA, payments on Stripe, payroll on Gusto, tickets on Star printers, statements from your bank and a journal for your accountant. Everything else is already one system.
Fewer connectors
Why does Bubs have so few integrations?
Most club software publishes a long integrations page because it is several products that need connecting: a tee sheet to a point of sale, a point of sale to billing, billing to accounting. Every connector is a nightly file, a sync that can fail, and a place where a charge can go missing.
Bubs doesn't need those connectors. The tee sheet, member app, registers, dining, events, member billing, general ledger and staff scheduling are one product on one database. The integrations below are the ones a club genuinely needs from outside: the USGA for handicaps, a payment processor, a payroll provider, printers in the kitchen, the club's bank and the accountant's software.
What connects
The integrations a private club needs
Each one is built into Bubs and set up per club — no middleware, no nightly file transfer.
Handicaps
USGA
Bubs is an official USGA partner. Handicap Index®, Course Rating™ and Slope Rating® come straight from the USGA — nobody types them in.
- Handicap Index® for every player, from the USGA
- Course and tee data, so course handicaps come from the USGA for the tees each player chooses
- Players post their scores to the USGA
Payments
Stripe
Card and bank payments run on Stripe, and each club is paid out to its own connected Stripe account.
- Cards on file and statement payments in the member app
- Autopay by card or ACH bank debit, with the mandate held by Stripe
- Stripe Terminal smart readers — chip, tap or swipe — at counters and handheld
- Pay links for banquet deposits and outside invoices
- Processing fees posted to the ledger when a card is captured
Payroll
Gusto
Payroll runs on Gusto. Bubs sends approved hours, tips and service charges; Gusto calculates pay, moves the money and files the taxes.
- Approved timesheets become the pay run — no re-keying
- Tips and service charges carried separately, per employee
- Paystubs and tax documents in the staff app
- Payroll journals posted to the ledger by department
- Social Security and bank numbers entered with Gusto, never collected by Bubs
Kitchen printing
Star Micronics printers
Kitchen tickets print on Star printers, laid out once so every station reads the same ticket.
- mC-Print3 thermal printers, by cloud or over the club network
- SP742 impact printers for hot kitchens, over the club network
- Register prints directly over the network when the internet is down
- Allergies in their own block; red on printers with a red ribbon
Bank statements
Your bank
Import statements downloaded from your bank's website and reconcile the operating account inside the close.
- OFX, QFX and CSV statement files
- Card payouts, deposits and payments matched to the ledger
- A file for the wrong account is refused, not imported
Accounting export
QuickBooks and Sage
For clubs that keep an outside accounting package, each period exports as a journal your accountant imports.
- Journal CSV in QuickBooks or Sage format
- Your accountant's own account codes on every line
- Departments carried as QuickBooks classes or Sage analysis codes
- Re-exports after a correction are versioned, never silently replaced
Handicaps
An official USGA partner
Tournaments, leagues and the Saturday game all score off the numbers the USGA holds.
Official USGA partner
Handicap Index®, Course Rating™ and Slope Rating® come straight from the USGA — nobody types them in. Bubs keeps the card; the player posts the score to the USGA.
Your data
The integration you'll need if you ever leave
The club's administrators can export all of the club's data at any time in a documented, versioned format — the same format Bubs imports from. It's the one integration every club should ask any vendor for.
FAQ
Integration questions
Does Bubs integrate with QuickBooks?
Bubs exports each accounting period as a journal in QuickBooks' import format (and Sage's), with your accountant's account codes and departments as classes. Clubs can also run the general ledger entirely in Bubs and use the export only as a hand-off to their accountant.
Which card readers does Bubs support?
Stripe Terminal smart readers — chip, tap or swipe — at counters and handheld. Payments settle to the club's own Stripe account.
Does Bubs connect directly to our bank?
Bubs imports the OFX, QFX or CSV statements your bank offers for download, and matches them to the ledger. There is no live bank-feed connection to set up or maintain.
We use a payroll provider other than Gusto. Can we still use Bubs?
Yes. Scheduling and the timeclock work on their own, and approved hours export as a CSV your current payroll provider can import.
How does Bubs connect to the USGA?
Bubs is an official USGA partner. Handicap Index®, Course Rating™ and Slope Rating® come directly from the USGA, and players post their scores to the USGA.
Why doesn't Bubs integrate with a separate tee sheet or point of sale?
Because it includes them. The tee sheet, registers, dining, events, member billing and general ledger are one system, so there is nothing to sync between them.
