Gymdesk Payments

Payment processing built directly into Gymdesk. One less vendor, one less bill, one less thing to think about.

What is Gymdesk Payments?

Gymdesk's own payment processing—card, ACH, and in-person—built directly into the platform. Available to US gyms. No separate processor account, no separate vendor relationship.

Stop Running Two Systems to Get Paid

When a charge fails, you're explaining recurring memberships to a Stripe rep who handles every type of business. With Gymdesk Payments, the team that already knows your gym handles your billing too—and if you need to run another processor alongside GDP, that works too.

Save the Card Once. Autopay Handles the Rest.

Every in-person card automatically saves to the member's profile. The next charge—and every charge after—runs against the same card. Eventually you stop thinking about payments altogether. You're back to running your gym.

Stay in Control of Your Member Data

Some processors charge $500–$1,500 just to release your data when you leave. Some withhold member payment info during cancellation. Gymdesk Payments doesn't. Your data, your billing history, your records—they go with you if you ever leave.

We've moved enough customers off Stripe, Square, and Authorize.net to keep this part predictable.

Your processor stays live.

Your current processor keeps running while we set up. No downtime, no billing pause.

Cards move in the background.

A specialist handles the token transfer. You stay focused on your gym.

Members never feel the switch.

Same card, same billing day. The only person who notices is you.

From Chasing Every Payment to Forgetting Payments Exist

Every month, payments just work. I don't chase people for money anymore. That alone is worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about chargebacks and PCI compliance?

Card details never touch your systems, so you don't have to worry about PCI compliance. Chargebacks are handled through your merchant dashboard—you can review the case, submit evidence, and track the outcome.

Where is Gymdesk Payments available?

US only for now. If you're outside the US, Gymdesk works with Stripe, Square, GoCardless (Europe), and Ezypay (Asia-Pacific). We're working on bringing Gymdesk Payments to more places.

How fast do payouts hit my bank?

Two business days for card payments. Four business days for bank transfers.

How long does the switch take, and how do you avoid double-billing?

For most processors—Stripe, Square, Authorize.net—two to four weeks. Some take longer. Your current processor keeps running until we flip the switch, so billing never stops or doubles up.

Can I pass processing fees on to my members?

Yes, in states that allow it. Some states cap how much you can pass on. Your sales rep will go over what's possible where you operate.

I'm on Stripe, Square, or Authorize.net—will my members have to re-enter their cards if I switch?

In most cases, no. Saved tokens transfer directly between processors—members do nothing, billing keeps running. Some processors are slow to release tokens, and a few refuse outright. Your sales rep will know your path before you commit.

Do I have to use Gymdesk Payments to use Gymdesk?

No. Gymdesk works with Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, GoCardless, and Ezypay. Gymdesk Payments is what we recommend for US gyms, but the choice is yours.

Are there long-term contracts or setup fees?

No, Gymdesk offers month-to-month plans with no long-term commitments or hidden fees.

What happens if a member’s payment fails?

Gymdesk retries the charge automatically on a schedule you set, and emails the member to update their card. If they still don't pay, you can add a late fee, pause their check-in, or cut their door access—automatically. No chasing.
