Sell Every Way Your Members Want to Buy
Vibefam supports every package and membership model boutique studios use — class packs with customizable expiry dates, recurring memberships with monthly or cycle-based billing (3, 6, 12 months), shareable family packages, freeze handling for travel and injury, promo codes for win-back, and member self-service for buy, top-up, freeze, and payment-method updates.
What is Vibefam Packages & Memberships?
Vibefam Packages & Memberships is the billing engine inside the all-in-one studio management platform. It supports every model boutique studios actually use to sell access — class packs with customizable expiry windows, recurring monthly memberships, multi-month commitment memberships (3, 6, 12 months) with up-front or installment billing, drop-in passes, shareable packages for family or friends, family-account packages where parents book for children, and promo codes for trial-to-member conversion or win-back campaigns.
The operational details boutique studios live or die by are built in. Members freeze memberships during travel, injury, or seasonal breaks — billing pauses, credits hold, renewals resume cleanly. Recurring billing retries failed cards automatically. Members update their own payment methods through self-service in the branded app. Promo codes track redemption per campaign. Family accounts let one transaction cover multiple bookers.
Packages and memberships are part of the comprehensive boutique studio platform that also handles class scheduling, appointments, courses, workshops, events, merchandise, lead management, AI-powered marketing automation, and the AI Website Builder — paired with a dedicated Studio Success Manager for every studio.
Trusted by thousands of boutique studios across North America and Asia-Pacific
What's Included with Vibefam Packages & Memberships
Class packs with customizable expiry
Sell 5-pack, 10-pack, 20-pack, monthly-pack — with the expiry window that matches your studio policy (30 days, 90 days, never-expires-while-active).
Recurring memberships
Auto-renewing monthly memberships with retry logic on failed cards, branded renewal notifications, and member self-service to update payment methods.
Cycle-based billing
Sell 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month commitment memberships with up-front or installment billing — strong for boutique studios driving LTV via commitment offers.
Membership freeze handling
Members freeze during travel, injury, or seasonal breaks. Billing pauses, credits hold, renewals resume on the right schedule.
Shareable packages
Sell packages that one member can share with another — for couples, training partners, friend referrals. One purchase, multiple bookers.
Family account packages
Parent buys a package; child books against it without their own login. Useful for kids' classes and family-led booking.
Promo codes
Issue codes for trial discounts, win-back offers, family-and-friends rates, or referral campaigns. Track redemption per code.
Member self-service
Members buy, top up themselves through the branded mobile app — without calling the studio.
Every Billing Model Boutique Studios Use
Customizable expiry on class packs
30-day pack, 90-day pack, never-expires-while-active — set the expiry window that matches your studio's policy. Different packs can have different expiry rules.
Recurring memberships with retry logic
Monthly memberships auto-renew. Failed cards retry on a schedule. Members get clean self-service flows to update payment methods. Studio admin doesn't chase.
Cycle-based billing for commitment offers
Sell 6-month or 12-month memberships at a commitment discount. Up-front payment or installment billing both supported. Drives LTV without locking studios into a SKU stack.
Membership freeze that doesn't break billing
Members freeze during travel; billing pauses; credits hold; renewals resume on the correct cycle. Frozen memberships don't lose remaining package balance.
Shareable & family-account packages
Couple shares one 20-pack. Parent buys for child. One transaction covers multiple bookers, all attributed correctly to the right outlet for revenue reporting.
Promo codes that drive conversion
Trial codes for first-time visitors. Win-back codes for dormant members. Referral-and-friends codes for community-driven growth. Track redemption per campaign.
Every Package Model Boutique Studios Actually Use
A boutique reformer Pilates studio in Brooklyn sells 20-class packs with a 90-day expiry. A martial arts gym in Toronto sells $180/month recurring memberships. A barre studio in Los Angeles runs a 12-month commitment membership at 20% off the monthly rate. A yoga studio in Vancouver runs family packages for parent-and-kids classes. A spin studio in Dallas runs an introductory promo code for first-time members.
Most platforms support 1 or 2 of these well and force studios into hacks for the rest. Vibefam ships every model on a single platform, configured per offering, sold side-by-side from the studio's own AI-built website and branded mobile app. Studio owners pick the pricing models that fit their business strategy — Vibefam doesn't force the studio into the platform's billing assumptions.
Membership Freeze, Family Accounts, and Promo Codes — The Operational Details That Retain Members
The hardest part of running a boutique studio's billing isn't the billing itself — it's the operational reality around it. A member breaks her foot. A family travels for the summer. A promo campaign needs to run trial-to-member conversion for ClassPass leads. A couple wants to share one membership. A parent wants to book classes for their kids without giving the kid an email.
Vibefam handles all of these. Membership freeze pauses billing during travel or injury — credits hold, renewals resume cleanly, the studio doesn't lose the member to a manual cancellation. Family accounts let parents buy and book on behalf of kids without the kid having a login. Shareable packages let couples and friends share a 20-pack. Promo codes track redemption per campaign so the studio knows which trial offers convert.
Members manage all of this themselves through the branded mobile app — buy, top up, freeze, cancel, update payment method. The front desk stops being a billing-help desk.
From Workarounds to Every-Model-Native Billing
- Class pack expiry forced into preset options that don't match studio policy
- Recurring memberships break when a card fails; admin chases members for updated cards
- 6-month or 12-month commitment memberships handled by a workaround (sell 6 separate monthly packages)
- Membership freeze tracked in a spreadsheet; renewal dates get out of sync
- Family or shared packages handled by creating duplicate member accounts
- Promo codes limited or not tracked per campaign
- Customizable expiry per package — match your studio's actual policy
- Recurring billing with retry logic; member self-service for payment method updates
- Native cycle-based billing for 3, 6, or 12-month commitments with up-front or installment options
- Membership freeze pauses billing, holds credits, resumes on the correct cycle automatically
- Native shareable and family-account packages — one transaction, multiple bookers
- Promo codes with per-campaign redemption tracking and configurable eligibility rules
Vibefam Packages & Memberships by the Numbers
What Studio Owners Say
We finally stopped tracking expiry dates in a spreadsheet. Vibefam pauses the billing, holds the remaining credits, and resumes on the right date. Our retention through travel season went up because nobody had to cancel just to take a break.
