Answers to the most common questions about accepting payments, managing subscriptions, and handling transactions in CoachIQ.

Getting Started with Payments

Connect your Stripe account to CoachIQ, create products (session packages, memberships, etc.), and attach them to your schedulers, forms, or Athlete Portal. When athletes book or purchase, payment processes through Stripe and deposits directly into your bank account.Set up payments step by step
CoachIQ uses Stripe for all payment processing. Stripe handles credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets. You need a Stripe account to accept payments — you can create one for free during setup.Connect Stripe to CoachIQ
Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per successful transaction (US standard rates). You can choose to absorb the fee yourself or pass it to the client at checkout. CoachIQ does not charge additional transaction fees on top of Stripe’s.Configure processing fees
Your first payout takes 7–10 business days. After that, Stripe deposits funds on a rolling basis — typically daily or weekly, depending on your Stripe settings. Funds go directly to your connected bank account.Learn about Stripe payouts
