Membership billing that keeps the doors open

Independent gyms depend on members who pay every month and trainers who show up every day. Finli runs memberships and training packages on autopay and settles every payment at your own bank or credit union.

What gets in the way

Keep monthly dues coming in

Autopay, reminders and quick follow-up on failed payments protect recurring revenue.

Sell training and add-ons

Personal training packages and retail add income when they are easy to buy.

Plan for equipment

Racks, machines and flooring are big purchases that need cash on hand or financing.

Common questions

Can members choose bank transfer instead of card?
Yes. Members can pay dues by bank transfer (ACH), which is always free, or by card. Card payments carry a 3.5% processing fee that the gym can absorb or pass on.
Can I keep waivers and agreements with each member?
Yes. Each member record holds payment history and documents such as membership agreements and liability waivers.
Where does membership money go?
Every digital payment collected through Finli settles into the gym's verified account at its own bank or credit union.
