We've made it even easier to track your Stripe verification process. This is really helpful when you are first starting up your TeamUp account.

TeamUp's Stripe integration

Let's look at some of the main benefits of the TeamUp Stripe integration. Processing your customers' payments online is even easier when you integrate your TeamUp account with one of our trusted partners, like Stripe. Stripe takes out the complexity of automating and collecting your customers' payments by allowing you to set up recurring online debit or credit card payments. By using a payment processor you have the added benefits of automatically receiving all payment details in advance, the ability to track and forecast all of your income and save your time and energy on chasing down your customers for missing and late payments. It's win-win!

Stripe not only makes it increasingly easy to collect payments, but it is also incredibly affordable with transaction fees for as little as 1.4% + £0.20 per transaction for euro cards and 2.9% + £0.20 per transaction for non-euro cards. We partner with Stripe because they focus on reliability and security and with Stripe, you will not have to worry about hidden fees popping up at all.

Why Stripe? Easy, reliable streamlined payments

Gym and studio owners do not have time to spend chasing down customers for missing and late payments. And while, sure, you can monitor when a customer pays on a spreadsheet, all that ends up causing you is stress, hassle, and forces you to check and recheck again and again. When it comes to dealing with refunds or credits, you can't process those in a spreadsheet.

Stripe will not only alleviate you of any hassle, but it will help you streamline your payments, automate future payments, and easily help you refund your customers if need be.

With recurring online payments, your customers will only need to put their details in once when making a purchase, and Stripe will collect their payments monthly so neither of you has to do a thing. You'll secure money in your bank account and your customers will feel relieved they don't need to run to pay you for class. With the Stripe and TeamUp integration you can guarantee:

  • Safe reliable payments
  • Automated payment collection
  • Clear visible reporting in your TeamUp dashboard
  • Easy use and edits to customer details
  • Complete visibility. Know what's happening in your business at all times
  • Saved time, energy, and costs with no contracts, no subscriptions, and no charges for refunds

What TeamUp customers are saying about Stripe:

“I've had this type of member management software for ages and I think just being able to see how active our members are and also have recurring billing through Stripe is great.”

"I think one of the other things was the choice of partner, I think you picked Stripe for your merchant services. That's really integral, and again, it was much better than the NetBanks, who MINDBODY choose. I mean, it was such a convoluted system. Yours, it was all done. It was authorized, payments were taken, they were made seven days later. The reporting on that, again, is integral. And from an accountancy perspective and a cash flow perspective, it could not have been clearer."

"The payment options are much better (GoCardless and Stripe) and everything is generally more intuitive. Simple is best!"
