What fitness and wellness software needs from payments
Recurring billing that behaves. Memberships change constantly. People upgrade, pause, freeze and cancel. Your payments need to keep up with every one of those moments without extra work for the club owner.
Cards and bank payments. Some members prefer a card. Others prefer to pay dues straight from a bank account. Offering both gives owners more ways to collect.
Help with failed payments. Expired cards and declined transactions are part of any membership business. The right payments partner helps owners recover revenue without awkward conversations at the front desk.
Class, retail and add-on purchases. Members buy class packs, personal training, drinks and gear. Payments should handle all of it in one flow.
Multiple locations. Owners with more than one club want clear reporting and simple funding by location.
Security that stays out of the way. Tokenization and hosted payment fields keep card data out of your systems and make the checkout experience smooth.
How it works for a fitness platform
- 1 A club or studio signs up inside your software and completes onboarding without leaving your product.
- 2 We review and approve the business as part of linq.
- 3 Members pay through your checkout, app, kiosk or front-desk screen, and recurring billing runs on secure tokens.
- 4 Funds settle to the business, and your platform earns revenue from the payments it enables.
