Barrie Yacht Club
Cheque payments, manual data entry, and clunky refunds were slowing this community club down. Here’s how a switch to Checklick’s Storefront changed that.

Barrie Yacht Club (BYC) is a community-driven sailing club located in Ontario, Canada. With approximately 100 full and social members, BYC runs a variety of sailing programs, including junior camps, race teams, and adult sailing lessons. The club relies on effective systems to manage registrations and sponsorships for smooth operation.
BYC’s previous registration system was outdated and inefficient. The club initially collected payments by cheque, which posed several risks – including minors handling large sums of money and misplaced payments. When they switched to another system, it introduced new problems such as manual data entry, difficult refund processes, and unreliable discount handling. They also lacked a streamlined way to manage sponsorships and had limited capacity to gather feedback or insights.
BYC transitioned to Checklick, a platform designed to simplify registrations and program management. The switch to Checklick’s Storefront feature provided a clean, user-friendly registration flow, reduced administrative burdens, and resolved past payment and refund issues. It also enabled the setup of tiered sponsorship levels for external partners, adding new funding opportunities.
Just as important was the support: hands-on customer service, proactive check-ins and guidance, and an easy-to-use interface for staff and customers alike.
