# Why does my registration say it will be deleted if unpaid?

> At some clubs, Confirm books your registration and holds your place before you pay. You then have a set number of days to pay, and an unpaid entry is removed after that.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Your club books registrations when you press Confirm, as CCM did. Your place in each league is held from that moment, and an invoice for the total is waiting for you.
  * You must pay by the date shown. If you have not, the entry is deleted, the invoice is cancelled and your place goes to someone else. No email is sent when this happens.
  * Choosing **Pay at the club or by mail** at checkout confirms your registration. It is then not deleted, and you pay the club as usual.
</Note>

On **Confirm your registration**, a red note reads *Confirming books your registration now. It must be paid within N days — otherwise your entry will be deleted.* The button reads **Confirm and continue to payment**. Pressing it books your registration and takes you to checkout.

At checkout a band at the top reads *Your registration is booked (INV-…) and your place is held until \{date}.* followed by *You must complete payment before then, otherwise your entry will be deleted!* The **Total** is the amount booked at Confirm. There is no discount-code box, gift-card field or payment-plan offer, because the price was fixed when you confirmed.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pay now">
    Pay by card at checkout, or choose **Pay at the club or by mail** where the club offers it. Either one settles the booking. You are not charged twice, because checkout pays the invoice made at Confirm.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or pay later">
    If you leave checkout, the booking stays until its date. In the Members Portal, **Invoices** shows it as **Unpaid** with **Pay now**. Your **Registrations** page shows the league as **Booked — awaiting payment**. You can also pay the club directly, and staff record it on the same invoice.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you go back and confirm something different, such as another league, your first booking is cancelled and its place released. Only the new invoice is owing.

If a booking is deleted because it was not paid in time, the invoice shows as **Cancelled** and nothing is owed. To play, register again. The league may have filled in the meantime.
