How to collect gym membership fees with MoMo

To collect gym membership fees with MoMo, set up a monthly subscription that reminds members before each payment, a QR code for day passes, and a booking link for personal training. On Paylead, members pay from their phone, renewals are tracked in one list, and you can see who is paid up and who is due.

Monthly memberships (Pro)

  1. Click Products → Add product → Subscription: sell a subscription.
  2. Set the price and how often it renews: weekly, monthly, every 3 months or yearly.
  3. List what members get (opening hours, classes, locker).
  4. Copy the Subscribe link from the product and share it with members on WhatsApp, or put it on a poster at the front desk.

Mobile money can't be charged automatically, so Paylead reminds members by SMS and email 3 days before, on the day, and 2 days after the period ends (the last day of a 3-day grace period). They tap the link and pay. See who is paid up in Subscribers: manage subscribers.

Day passes and walk-ins

A reusable payment link with a fixed price ("Day pass: GH₵ 40") and its QR code on the wall: how to use a QR code to get paid.

What it costs

Subscriptions need Pro (GH₵ 149 a month, cheaper every month you stay). Each payment costs 4% + GH₵ 1: a GH₵ 250 monthly membership costs GH₵ 11.
