Online Payments Options with Punchpass


Option 1: Punchpass + Stripe Integration

This is our most comprehensive, hands-off, time-saving approach to taking online payments and the one that most Punchpass users will choose.

Using Stripe makes it feel like the students are buying their passes and memberships on your custom Punchpass pages but using Stripe to process the payment.

πŸ’‘ Tip: The payment methods available at Stripe checkout can be customized based on your location and preferences. You can add additional payment methods like bank transfers, digital wallets, and local payment options to give your students more ways to pay.

With this option your students can:

  • Purchase passes online and instantly have them available for use

  • Purchase recurring memberships online and have the payments automatically charged to their credit card on the membership renewal date

  • Buy Tickets to workshops and special events

  • Purchase gift cards
    ​

In addition, you (and your instructors) can:
