Payments
Connect Stripe in minutes and get paid directly - no middleman holding your money until the end of the month. Your client pays, you receive. Simple as that.
In short
Coaching payment software automates client subscriptions, invoicing and failed-payment recovery so coaches stop chasing bank transfers. coachway connects to the coach's own Stripe account - money goes straight from client to coach, recurring billing runs automatically, and every transaction stays in the coach's Stripe records for accounting and full ownership.
No more chasing missed payments
Create payment plans, track every transaction, and catch missed payments before they pile up. Clients get automatic reminders in the app, so you don't have to be the one chasing.

Questions, answered
Why does billing through my own Stripe account matter?
Ownership. Client payments, subscription history and payout schedule live in your Stripe account, not a platform's. If you ever change tools, your billing relationships and records go with you - the payment side of your business is never held hostage.
What happens when a client's card payment fails?
Stripe retries automatically and the client is prompted to update their card, so most failed payments recover without you sending an awkward message. You see payment status per client in coachway, so nothing lapses silently for months.
Can I run different prices and packages for different clients?
Yes - set individual subscription amounts, currencies and billing intervals per client. A legacy client on an old rate, a premium 1:1 client and a standard package can all run side by side, each billing automatically through your Stripe.
