Is Sporting Pay safe and secure?

Yes. Mobile pay is one of the safest ways to make a payment. Accessing your Sporting Pay account from a mobile device requires either Biometric ID or a passcode. Sporting Pay displays a unique QR code which is safe, universally used and can be read from a much greater distance than any other payment methods as well as through protective plexiglass.

Sporting Pay works with what cards?

Sporting Pay works with the payment method that's saved to your Sporting Pay wallet. These cards are listed as payment methods within the app and customers can choose a default card which get used at checkout.

Where/how is my payment information stored?

Sporting Pay stores only verified payment methods and credit cards must include CVV codes. Information is always encrypted over secure networks.

Can I still use cash or my credit card?

While Sporting Pay is the preferred method of payment at Children's Mercy Park, credit cards will still be accepted. Cash is not accepted at any Point of Sale inside Children’s Mercy Park.

Do I have to link/add a credit/debit card to my account?

Yes, in order to use Sporting Pay you must load a form of payment (Mastercard, Visa, American Express) to your Sporting Pay account.

What if my card gets declined?

If a credit or debit card that is linked to a Sporting Pay account is declined, the Sporting Pay transaction will not process. The Sporting Pay QR code will scan, but the transaction will display an error to alert you to the fact that the payment was declined. You will need to pay using a different method.

How do I use my giveaway token?

Once your giveaway token is activated and visible in my offers, the giveaway token will automatically apply during the checkout process. Select the pay button on your app and proceed like usual! 

How do I spend complimentary value?

Once your complimentary value is added to your account and visible in my offers, that amount will automatically be deducted from your order total. If the value of your order is greater than your complimentary value, the system will charge the remaining balance to the default payment method attached to your account.

How do I see my giveaway tokens or complimentary balance or Season Ticket Member discount?

From the home screen of the Sporting Pay Wallet, click the “My Offers” button.

How do I use my Season Ticket Member discount with Sporting Pay?
