Every payment, on the spot

Boutique studios collect payments everywhere — drop-in fees at the front desk, retail purchases on the studio floor, ad-hoc charges between classes. Vibepay turns the phone in your pocket into a working payment terminal so every one of those moments closes on the spot, with the payment landing inside the same Vibefam account that runs your bookings, memberships, and payroll.

How studios use Vibepay every day

Front desk drop-ins

Walk-in member buys a class. Tap to pay on your phone. Booking is created in Vibefam at the same moment.

Retail on the studio floor

Member grabs a water bottle or branded tee. Charge them where they stand — no register, no queue.

Ad-hoc add-ons

Charge for late-cancel fees, equipment rentals, single-session top-ups, or one-off coaching add-ons in seconds.

Roving payments

No fixed POS. Take payment at the front desk, in the lobby, on the floor, or at a pop-up event.

Receipts in one tap

Email a digital receipt to the member from the same flow. No paper roll, no printer.

Daily revenue in one view

Vibepay revenue lives alongside class, package, and merchandise revenue in your Vibefam dashboard.

A payment terminal that lives in your pocket

Most studio software treats payments as a separate problem — leave Vibefam to manage classes, then bounce to a different POS for in-person sales. Vibepay closes that gap. The phone you already use to check members in and run classes is the same device you use to take payments. Every transaction is logged inside Vibefam. Every receipt goes to the member. Every dollar reconciles automatically against the booking, package, or merchandise sale that triggered it.

Activation takes minutes. The first time you take a payment, the terminal initializes from inside the Vibefam app — no separate app to download, no merchant account paperwork to fill out manually, no hardware to wait for. Studios typically take their first payment on the same day onboarding completes.

No hardware tax. No surprise fees. No lock-in.

Traditional POS systems charge for the terminal itself, the lease, the receipt printer, the deposit, and a setup fee on top — and lock studios into multi-year contracts to recoup that hardware cost. Vibepay drops every line item except the per-payment processing fee. There is no hardware to buy, no monthly terminal rental, and no contract to escape from. Speak to your Studio Success Manager to confirm exact rates in your region; pricing transparency is part of the platform.

How Vibepay fits with the rest of Vibefam

Vibepay is one piece of the broader Vibefam platform. It pairs naturally with multi-outlet payouts (every Vibepay transaction routes to the right outlet bank account automatically), merchandise and retail (sell apparel, supplements, and gift cards on the spot), and the AI Business Dashboard (which surfaces revenue patterns across class, membership, retail, and Vibepay sales).

Activated by your Studio Success Manager

Vibepay is activated during the same 1-hour onboarding call that sets up the rest of your Vibefam account. Your dedicated Studio Success Manager walks through the first transaction with you, confirms regional payout windows, and stays on direct chat for any payment-flow questions that come up after launch — typically answered in minutes.
