Auto-billing
Auto-billing is a system that helps gyms and fitness centers automatically collect membership fees from their customers on a regular schedule. Instead of manually processing payments each month, the system charges members' credit cards or bank accounts automatically on agreed-upon dates. This saves time for staff, reduces missed payments, and helps maintain steady cash flow. It's sometimes called recurring billing, automated payments, or subscription billing. Most modern gym management software includes this feature as it's essential for smooth operations and member management.
