Gyms lose money every day. It's not because members don’t want to buy, but because paying can be inconvenient in the moment. A drop-in walks in right before class, someone forgets their wallet, or a member wants to grab merch but the line at the desk is too long. The interest is there, but the timing isn’t.
That’s where tap to pay inside the PushPress Staff App closes the gap. Your team can take payment anywhere using a phone, watch, or card. It’s fast, easy, and fully synced into your gym management software with no extra setup or new processor to manage. Just pay and go — and keep gym revenue from slipping through the cracks.
Why offering tap payments matters
For years, checkout has been tied to one spot like the front desk or a computer. Modern gyms don’t work that way. Classes move quickly, people come and go, and coaches need to stay focused on their athletes. Being stuck behind a desk slows things down and creates a barrier between interest and action.
Tap to pay removes that barrier. It lets your team collect payment in the exact moment someone says “yes,” capturing sales right when motivation and intent are highest. That’s how you protect gym revenue without adding friction to your day.
Where gyms lose revenue today
You’ve probably heard it before:
- “I’ll come back after class.”
- “I don’t have my wallet.”
- “I’ll sign up later this week.”
Most of those moments never turn into revenue — not because members don’t care, but because life gets in the way. When payment isn’t immediate, it’s often forgotten.
With tap to pay, payment happens in the moment, turning good intentions into completed transactions. When you make it easy, people follow through. And that consistency compounds into real, measurable gym revenue.
How it works
Tap to pay and the Stripe card reader live inside the PushPress Staff App, giving your team the ability to accept payments anywhere — on the floor, after class, during PT, or at an event.
Drop-ins can sign up, sign waivers, and pay through self-serve without slowing down the check-in process. Coaches stay focused on coaching while members handle payment quickly and securely. And if your staff prefers hardware, they can use the Stripe card reader for quick chip, swipe, or tap transactions.
Every sale automatically connects to the right person and updates reporting in real time inside your PushPress gym management software. There’s no double entry or manual reconciliation — just simple, connected operations that save time and reduce errors.

Why it drives more sales
People buy when their energy is high: right after class, after seeing results, or when motivation peaks. Tap to pay helps you meet that moment without friction.
Members don’t need to find their wallet because they already have their phone or watch ready. And when a member wants a retail item, a drop-in pass, or an add-on session, a coach can take payment on the spot using tap to pay or the Stripe card reader. When the barrier disappears, sales happen naturally.
It’s not about selling harder. It’s about making it easier to say yes — and keeping more gym revenue in your business.
Built on the gym management software you already use
Tap to pay runs through PushPress using the same payment setup you already trust. There’s no new hardware requirement and no disconnected third-party tools to manage. If you want a device, the Stripe card reader pairs seamlessly, but you don’t need it to get started.
Because everything lives inside PushPress gym management software, you get one connected system for payments, members, and reporting. Simple, reliable, and ready to go.
