Why studios switch for this
The old way
- Chasing bank transfers and “sorry, I forgot” texts every single month
- Platforms that hold your revenue and pay it out on their schedule
- Failed cards silently piling up until you do a painful audit
- Per-member pricing that punishes you for growing
With WeeksPro
- Stripe charges cards and bank accounts automatically, on schedule
- Money settles straight into your own Stripe account
- Failed payments retry on the next billing run, plus one-click manual retry
- One flat monthly software fee with every feature included
What you get
Five billing frequencies
Weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or yearly — match your billing to how your community actually pays, including fortnightly pay cycles.
BECS direct debit
Australian members can pay straight from their bank account — no card expiry dates to chase every January.
Your Stripe, your money
WeeksPro connects to your own Stripe account. Your revenue and your members' payment methods live there — they're yours no matter what, even if you ever leave.
Automatic retries
A failed payment is retried automatically on the next billing run, and a member is never marked paid-up until the charge actually succeeds.
One-click recovery
See a failed payment in the dashboard and retry it manually with a single click — no logging into Stripe, no awkward phone call scripts.
Transparent fees
One flat 2.75% + 30¢ per transaction, all-in — no platform commission stacked on top. International cards attract a 1.5% surcharge.

The end of payment-chasing calls
A boxing club collected monthly dues by bank transfer, and every month 15–20% of members “forgot”. The owner spent hours making awkward calls. After moving billing to WeeksPro, Stripe collects automatically on schedule; the odd failed card retries on the next run or gets a one-click manual retry. The owner hasn't made a payment-chasing call since — and the money lands in his own Stripe account, not a platform's holding account.

Direct debit versus cards for Australian gyms
Card payments have one structural problem for recurring memberships: cards expire. Every January a wave of reissued Visas and Mastercards quietly breaks a slice of a gym's revenue, and the owner spends a fortnight chasing members who genuinely believed they were paid up.
BECS direct debit avoids the failure mode entirely by drawing from the bank account rather than a card that carries an expiry date. Bank details change far less often than cards, which is why direct debit has been the backbone of Australian gym billing for decades.
Offering both is the practical answer. Some members strongly prefer a card, particularly for shorter commitments or class packs, and forcing a single method costs you sign-ups. What matters is that the direct debit option exists as a first-class path rather than an afterthought bolted onto a platform designed for a card-first market.
What actually causes failed payments, and what to do about it
Failed payments cluster around a small number of causes: expired cards, insufficient funds on a payday mismatch, and members who changed banks without telling anyone. The first is solved by direct debit, and the second is solved by billing frequency.
This is the underrated argument for fortnightly billing. A member paid fortnightly whose gym fee comes out monthly is being asked to hold a larger balance than their cash flow naturally supports, and the failures land in the same week every month. Matching billing frequency to how your community actually gets paid removes a category of failure rather than managing it.
For the failures that remain, two things matter: automatic retry on the next billing run, so a temporary shortfall does not require human intervention, and never marking a member as paid up until the charge has actually succeeded. Optimistic accounting here is how gyms end up unknowingly giving away memberships.
Who owns your payment data matters more than the fee
Most comparison of billing platforms stops at the percentage, which is understandable and incomplete. The more consequential question is who holds the relationship with the payment processor — because that determines what happens if you ever want to leave.
When payments run through a platform's own merchant account, your members' saved payment methods live inside that platform's system. Moving to different software then means re-collecting payment details from every member, which is the single most disruptive thing you can ask an entire membership base to do, and it is a substantial reason gyms stay on software they have outgrown.
When the platform connects to a Stripe account you own, the relationship is yours. Your revenue lands in your account, your members' payment methods sit under your merchant record, and switching software becomes a software decision rather than a hostage negotiation. It is worth checking which arrangement any platform is offering before the fee comparison, not after.
Frequently asked questions
Do you hold my money?
No. WeeksPro connects to your own Stripe account and payments settle there directly. Your revenue and member payment methods are yours — WeeksPro never touches the money.
What payment methods can members use?
Card, and BECS direct debit for Australian bank accounts. Direct debit is great for memberships — no card expiries to chase.
What happens when a payment fails?
It's retried automatically on the next billing run, and you can retry manually with one click. A member's subscription is never marked paid-up until the charge actually succeeds.
What are the transaction fees?
A flat 2.75% + 30¢ per transaction, all-in — processing included, with no platform commission on top. International cards attract a 1.5% surcharge.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. WeeksPro itself is month-to-month, and because billing runs through your own Stripe account, your payment relationships stay with you regardless.
