Being a gym owner is not as easy as one might think. It takes hard work and dedication to build a successful business. And with all that hard work come challenges: How can you revolutionise the way your gym or fitness centre handles payments to improve cash flow?

The solution is to streamline your operations with a payment system explicitly tailored for gyms and fitness centres in South Africa.

Netcash offers the latest in industry-specific payment solutions catering to the unique challenges faced within the fitness industry. To cover gym industry costs such as staff income, gym equipment, rent, and marketing, you need consistent revenue, which is only possible if you are organised with your finances. 

Our comprehensive offerings ensure efficient membership fee collection and seamless payment processes. Whether you’re managing salary payments, membership fees, paying suppliers, or processing client contracts.

Simplify your gym’s payment process

Membership fees are the bread and butter of fitness centres and gyms. They’re the primary source of income that determines the fitness industry's worth, and you don't want to struggle to collect them each month.

This is where Netcash’s tailored payment solutions can provide seamless payment processes and efficient membership fee collection which is crucial to keep your gym running.

We automate the membership fee collection for you, ensuring that recurring payments are collected from your members through our software integrations. Then, we’ll provide multiple payment methods to increase the chances of a seamless payment experience for your customers.

Streamlined debit order collections for gyms

Debit order collections are the backbone of keeping your cash flow steady and growing your business financially. They reduce the need to deal with cash and improve security. 

●      Reliable debit order collections

Ensure consistent membership payments with secure debit order collections thanks to our custom-made solutions for the gym and fitness industry. With effortless gym management software integration, collecting fees becomes seamless. Funds are automatically deducted from your member’s bank accounts, which allows for recurring payments and ensures you are paid on time. Thanks to this consistency, your cash flow won’t be interrupted, allowing you to plan ahead and manage your finances better.

●      Reduce administrative burden

As mentioned, we automate debit orders for you. This means you or an employee no longer have to perform time-consuming manual labour to process payments. Furthermore, automating debit orders results in less opportunity for human error, improving efficiency and accuracy when collecting membership fees.

Integrated gym management software

So how exactly would Netcash’s integrated software solutions benefit your operation? Our payment solutions integrate with third party gym software, such as Octive, to assist in running daily operations. With this software integration, you’ll have access to automated billing, comprehensive invoicing, and a dedicated mobile app to simplify your member’s fitness journey.

Itensity is another all-in-one software that you can use to manage your gym seamlessly. It has standout features like class booking solutions, digital point-of-sale, and an easy-to-integrate eCommerce payment gateway.

Netcash has been a great partner to Viva Gym, having assisted with our debit orders since we opened our first gym. Every Netcash team member we have interacted with has been helpful and responsive, and their online systems are easy to use. Integrations are also straightforward - overall, highly recommend

Secure and convenient payment options

Besides streamlining gym membership fees, we understand that many challenges hinder the fitness industry’s growth, such as limited payment options and cyber security threats. 

●      Seamless integration

Providing convenient payment options to your gym members should be a top priority. By easily integrating Netcash’s payment solutions with your existing gym management systems, you can achieve just that. These integrated software solutions simplify the payment process, automate debit orders, and manage your fee collection. However, they also allow you to offer various payment methods to members, making it more convenient for your customers so that you get paid quickly. These payment options include Instant EFT, Bank EFT, Credit Card, Visa Checkout, Cash Payments, and QR using major wallets or banking apps.

●      Top-tier security

Since membership fee collection has evolved from traditional payment methods to online transactions such as debit orders, keeping your client’s sensitive personal and financial data is crucial. If you’re concerned about security, you can trust our systems to protect your members’ data with industry-leading security measures. We are PCI DSS Level 1 Compliant, which means we operate at the highest level of global compliance and payment security standards for merchants.

Frequently asked Questions

1How does Netcash facilitate debit order collections for gyms?
Your members will sign an agreement known as a debit order authority or mandate. This agreement allows banks or third-party processors (in this case, Netcash) to deduct the agreed amount of money from the account holder's bank account recurringly. Debit order collections are safe and convenient, increase cash flow, and ensure payments are made on time.
2Can Netcash integrate with my existing gym management software?
Yes. Integrating your existing software with our systems and gym management software providers is possible. Our partners, Octiv and Itensity, are integrated with Netcash Debit Orders for recurring monthly membership payments and Pay Now for once-off payments. By partnering with sophisticated gym management software providers, Netcash can facilitate debit order collections seamlessly.
3What are the advantages of using a debit order system for gym memberships?
Our debit order system offers multiple payment options for unpaid debit orders with an SMS or email payment link sent directly from your Netcash account. This increases the chances of everyone paying their memberships on time every month. You’ll get paid sooner, enhancing your cash flow by receiving up to 90% of your collection value paid on the day the debits are processed.
