FitCore Stripe Integration

The FitCore Stripe integration creates a bidirectional sync between your gym management platform and payment processor. When members sign up for memberships, class packages, or personal training sessions in FitCore, the integration automatically creates corresponding payment records in Stripe and processes transactions without manual intervention.

Key capabilities include:

• Automated recurring billing: Monthly and annual membership fees process automatically based on your FitCore billing schedules
• Real-time payment status updates: Successful charges, failed payments, and refunds sync instantly to member profiles
• Dunning management: Automatically retry failed payments and update member access based on payment status
• Revenue reconciliation: Match Stripe payouts to FitCore transactions for accurate financial reporting
• Payment method storage: Securely save member credit cards and ACH details in Stripe's PCI-compliant vault

Setting up the fitcore stripe integration takes approximately 10-15 minutes and requires admin access to both platforms. Follow these steps to establish the connection:

1. Access integration settings: Log into FitCore and navigate to Settings > Integrations > Payment Processors
2. Select Stripe: Click "Connect Stripe" and choose whether to use an existing Stripe account or create a new one
3. Authorize the connection: You'll be redirected to Stripe to log in and grant FitCore permission to access your account data
4. Configure sync preferences: Set your default currency, choose which transaction types to sync, and enable automated retry logic for failed payments
5. Map membership plans: Link your FitCore membership tiers to corresponding Stripe products and pricing plans
6. Test the integration: Process a test transaction to verify data flows correctly between systems

Once connected, the integration runs continuously in the background with no additional maintenance required.

The FitCore Stripe integration is designed for fitness businesses that need reliable, automated payment processing without the complexity of enterprise systems. Typical users include:

• Boutique fitness studios: Yoga, Pilates, barre, and cycling studios with 50-500 members managing class packs and unlimited memberships
• CrossFit boxes and functional training gyms: Facilities offering tiered membership levels, drop-in rates, and specialty program add-ons
• Personal training studios: Trainers and small training teams selling session packages, monthly retainers, and semi-private training blocks
• Hybrid fitness facilities: Gyms combining open gym access with group classes, requiring flexible billing for multiple service types

These businesses typically process between $5,000 and $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue and need payment infrastructure that scales with growth while maintaining low transaction fees and reliable processing.
