Dance schools, yoga studios and martial arts clubs collect monthly fees, sell class packs and charge for gradings, shows and kit. A payments app built for them, under your own brand, can handle all of it, and you can offer it to studios across a city, region or governing network.

What studios need

  • Monthly memberships collected by subscription.
  • Payment links for class packs and drop-ins.
  • Invoices or links for gradings, shows, uniforms and kit.
  • An account that shows who has paid this month.
