Why industry fit matters
A gym, a clinic and a car wash do not take payments the same way. Each has its own cadence, its own risks and its own customer expectations. A payments program that ignores that feels generic and creates support work. We start from the way your customers actually operate, so the program we help you build fits the business instead of forcing the business to fit the payments.
The industries where we have built experience
Fitness and wellness →
Gyms, studios and wellness businesses depend on recurring revenue and a smooth member experience. We help the software that runs them handle memberships, classes, retail and the failed payments that come with all of them.
Medical and healthcare →
Patients expect convenient ways to pay, and providers need to collect reliably while protecting sensitive information. We help healthcare software teams add patient payments with security and compliance in mind.
Unattended and car wash →
Self-serve and membership-driven businesses cannot wait for a cashier. We help software for car washes and other unattended environments accept payments reliably and manage recurring plans.
SaaS platforms and ISVs →
If your software serves another specialized industry, the same principles apply. We start by understanding your customers, then shape a payments program around them.
What stays the same across industries
The industries are different, but the building blocks of an embedded payments program are not. Onboarding, underwriting, a payment gateway, ACH, recurring billing, settlement, reporting and support all work the same way whether your customers run gyms or parking lots. That is why a single platform like linq can serve so many of them.
- White-label onboarding inside your product.
- Underwriting and risk monitoring handled for you.
- A payment gateway with tokenization and hosted fields.
- ACH alongside cards for recurring and one-time payments.
- Recurring billing and saved payment methods.
- Unified reporting across every merchant and channel.
What changes from one industry to the next
The payment moments. A membership renewal, a patient balance, a kiosk tap and a tuition payment all happen at different points and need different flows.
The risks. Unattended environments face card testing and skimming; healthcare faces privacy rules; recurring models face failed payments.
The customer expectations. A gym member and a patient both want convenience, but they expect to pay in different places and different ways.
