Auto-renewal payments don’t require members to take any action, allowing them to spend more time on training and improving their performance

Sport membership payment software such as that offered by Sport:80 provides auto-renewal payments which can be setup and managed by members. This ultimately means your members don’t have to worry about renewing their membership every year. Auto-renewal payments can also mean you don’t have to spend time chasing members about missing payments, reducing member churn and providing you with more time to concentrate on projects that drive value throughout your organization.

Your NGB or organization can also utilize the payment functionality to sell items on a recurring payment. Recurring payments can be applied to subscription-style products, providing a modern-day, competitive approach to selling memberships and other items.

Stringent security features such as Face ID

When using Apple or Google Pay, members are able to approve payments through biometric identification such as Face and Touch ID, which is a more secure option than simply submitting card details. This also makes the payment process more streamlined, improving user experience and reducing the risk of drop-off at the point of checkout.
