Extracurricular Activities that require a fee? Help!?

Is there a way to set-up an extracurricular activity that will charge a card through BBMS much like the application fee is charged? I've waded through the activity setup menu and it seems pretty easy to set up the activity but I don't see anywhere where we can attach a fee to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    @Bill Birch Hey Bill - This currently isn't possible, though is a great suggestion. If you haven't already, I would go to the Idea Portal tab in the Community and submit this as a potential feature request.

    In terms of what the software can do, you have two potential options, though neither will directly link to the Activity.

    1. Create a Blank School Form, and use the Group filter in the Recipient selector. You can then make sure that you only assign the form to Students/Parents of Students who are in that specific Activity and request payment. Likewise, if it's a smaller group of students, you can simply select them individually from the Recipient settings.
    1. You could create an Event Registration in School Website, if that is a product your school owns. This might be a good option if you have some kind of a ‘kick-off’ meeting for the students in the activity and you want them to pay the fee prior to attending.

    Hopefully that helps!
