We have added support for Stripe Bacs Direct Debit in GymRealm Manager for gyms operating in the United Kingdom.
The main benefit of this update is that gyms can now collect recurring membership payments directly from customers’ bank accounts, helping reduce payment processing fees compared to standard card payments.
Lower fees for recurring billing
For many gyms, recurring membership payments are one of the most important parts of the business.
By using Stripe Bacs Direct Debit, UK gyms can link customer payments directly to bank accounts instead of relying only on card payments. This can help reduce transaction costs and make recurring billing more cost-effective over time.
Direct connection to the customer’s bank account
With Bacs Direct Debit, customers can set up payments from their bank account through Stripe.
Once the payment method is authorized, GymRealm Manager can use it for recurring membership billing. This creates a smoother payment process for both the gym and the customer.
Better alternative to card payments
Card payments are convenient, but they often come with higher fees and can fail when cards expire, are replaced, or are blocked by the bank.
Bacs Direct Debit provides another option for UK gyms that want a more stable and cost-efficient payment method for memberships.
Supported in GymRealm Manager
The Stripe Bacs integration can be used for recurring membership billing in GymRealm Manager.
This helps gyms automate payment collection, reduce manual administration, and manage membership payments in one place.
A stronger payment setup for UK gyms
By supporting Stripe Bacs Direct Debit, GymRealm Manager gives gyms in the United Kingdom a better way to manage recurring payments.
With lower fees, direct bank account payments, and automated recurring billing, this update helps UK gyms improve their payment workflow and reduce unnecessary payment costs.
