Frequently Asked Questions

How do members pay for gym memberships with crypto?

Members can pay two ways: (1) Monthly recurring in stablecoins (USDC always worth $1) - they set it once and auto-pay monthly, or (2) Credit card via onramp - we convert to crypto instantly. They never see the crypto part, just a simple payment experience. Initial setup takes 2 minutes, then it's automatic every month.

What about failed payments for monthly memberships?

This is where crypto shines. Traditional processors: expired cards (20% members per year), insufficient funds, bank declines. Crypto stablecoin payments never fail - the money is pre-authorized in their wallet. This reduces involuntary churn by 30-50%. Members who want to stay don't accidentally get cancelled due to payment issues.

Can I have different membership tiers (Basic, Premium, etc.)?

Yes. Create unlimited tiers with different pricing, features, and class access. Basic: $50/month, gym only. Premium: $100/month, gym + classes. Platinum: $150/month, gym + classes + PT. System handles tiered access automatically. Upgrade/downgrade members easily. Track MRR by tier.

How does the check-in system work?

Members scan QR code at entrance with phone. Instant check-in recorded. You see: who's currently in gym, peak times, frequent vs ghost members. Trainer can see if their client checked in. Track member activity for engagement campaigns. This level of tracking usually costs $50/month extra with MindBody.

Can members book classes online?

Yes. Members see class schedule in their portal, book classes, see who's teaching, check capacity. System automatically limits bookings to room capacity. Manages waitlist if full. Sends reminders. Tracks attendance. Exactly like MindBody but free. MindBody charges $129/month for this.

Do members need crypto wallets?

No. While crypto enthusiasts can pay directly, 99% of members will pay with regular credit/debit card or Apple Pay. We convert to crypto instantly on the backend. They don't need to know anything about crypto. You get the benefits (low fees, no failed payments), they get familiar payment experience.

How much do I really save vs MindBody?

Gym with 100 members at $150/month = $15,000 MRR. MindBody: $435 processing fees (2.9%) + $129 software = $564/mo ($6,768/year). PortalPay: $112.50 processing (0.75%) + $0 software = $112.50/mo ($1,350/year). Annual savings: $5,418. Plus reduce churn = more MRR retained.

Can I split revenue with personal trainers automatically?

Yes. Set split percentage per trainer. When member pays for PT session, revenue automatically splits on-chain. Trainer gets their share instantly in their wallet. No manual calculations. No payment delays. Much cleaner than traditional splits that require manual accounting.

What if I have multiple gym locations?

Multi-location management included free (competitors charge $150-300/month extra). See all locations in one dashboard. Members can use any location with roaming access. Transfer members between locations. Compare performance. Consolidated reporting across all gyms.

Do I need a bank account to run my gym?

No. Payments go to your crypto wallet. Hold as stablecoins or cash out to local currency. Perfect for new gyms without banking history, international franchises, or anyone who wants to avoid traditional banking hassles. This is revolutionary for fitness businesses worldwide.
