With Pogozo you can simplify the billing process for classes and appointments with memberships and class passes. There are a number of differences and similarities between the two so we thought we'd break them down for you.
How they are similar:
Both allow for automated billings - simply integrate your business with Stripe and any purchases of memberships and class passes will automatically be billed to your client's account
Both allow for one off or reoccurring memberships when your business is integrated with Stripe
Both are customisable for locations, class types and off peak hours
How they are different:
Memberships
Allow for customisation of attendance limits per week, no matter the billing cycle length
Can include both appointments and classes
Pass card memberships
Allow for customisation of a specific number of classes clients can attend over a certain period of time
Send an itemised invoice when the client checks into class suitable for private health insurance claiming
So which membership should you use? Here is a quick guide based on the most common membership features:
Itemised invoices for private health insurance claiming - Pass card or recurring pass card
Unlimited classes a week - Single or recurring membership
2 classes per week - any of the membership types!
2 classes a week with a "free" massage every 3 months - Recurring membership
