There are many businesses who want to take payment directly from customers but want to automate their booking and client management.
Gymcatch is built with this in mind.
There are two ways you can use Gymcatch without taking payments online:
Pay on door
You can enable the Pay on door payment option on your sessions to allow customers to book on without paying and then arrange payment outside of Gymcatch via cash or bank transfer for example.
Once paid, you can then head to their booking record by going to Schedule > click Details on the relevant session > Attendees > click on their name > under Take payment you can click Mark as paid outside of Gymcatch.
Packages
You can create a Pass, Bundle or Membership which gives customers the ability to book and get access to the services that they have paid for. All your customers need to do is create a Gymcatch account and follow your business and once you've received payment outside of Gymcatch from them (for example, payment for their sessions for the whole upcoming month), you can simply gift a package to them.
The next time your customer logs into their account and books onto a session, they should see this package as a payment option.
For long term customers we recommend that you use the Memberships feature. This means that you can gift them, for example, a 1 year membership which automatically renews monthly. Then you can ask customers to make regular monthly payments outside of Gymcatch.
This then means there is nothing for you or your customers to do for an entire year as long as the customer stays up to date with payments. If the customer misses a payment to you, you can expire their membership immediately and prevent them from making further bookings.
This structure also works using Passes or Bundles for shorter-term customers who may just be using your services for a month, a week or even just for one session.
It is quick and easy for both you and your clients.
