Money

Taking payments

Gymisphere Payments, your own Stripe account, or Square — and what each costs.

Gymisphere never holds your money. Payments go to your own account with Stripe or Square, and you choose which.

Three ways to take cards

  • Gymisphere Payments — the quickest. Set up inside the app, with your details verified by Stripe. No account to create elsewhere.
  • Your own Stripe account — connect an account you already use, or make a new one. The dashboard, the payouts and any cards your members already saved stay yours.
  • Square— connect your Square account if that's where your front desk already takes payments.

Connect one

  1. Go to Billing → Settings.
  2. Choose Gymisphere Payments and follow the steps, or connect your own Stripe or Square account.
  3. Come back when the provider says charges are enabled. Gymisphere shows the status next to each option.

What it costs

Gymisphere adds 1% to each member payment. Your processor charges its own fee on top — roughly 2.9% + 30¢ for an online card payment with either Stripe or Square. Those fees are theirs, not ours, and the remainder lands in your account.

You can't disconnect a provider while memberships are still billing through it — those members would keep being charged with nothing recording it. Cancel or move them first.
