How to grow your payments app with Pilates studios

  3. See every payment as it happens

Pilates studios and instructors run mat and reformer classes, private one-to-one sessions and courses for beginners, pregnancy and rehab. Reformer classes are small, so a no-show is an empty machine and lost money. Clients buy single classes, class packs and monthly memberships, often on their phone. A payments app that takes payment when a class is booked, sells packs and memberships and handles private sessions can win these studios, and every client who pays sees your app.

Take payment when a class is booked

Taking card and phone payments at booking fills small reformer classes with clients who show up, and cuts the money lost to no-shows.
