Memberships and passes are how a yoga studio turns one-off visitors into steady income. But they only help if the counting is right: a pass that keeps working after it's used up, or a membership that quietly stops renewing, costs money and trust.
yoganear.me handles the whole lifecycle: you set up the products, students buy them, and the system enforces every credit, renewal date and expiry automatically. Drop-ins, passes and memberships all book against the same schedule, so a student pays the way that suits them and the right balance is always deducted.
Memberships that renew themselves
Set up monthly or recurring memberships and let them renew automatically through PayPal or Stripe. Students see their membership in the app, and an expired or cancelled membership simply can't book, with no manual checking at the door.
When a student cancels, access runs to the end of the period they've paid for rather than cutting off mid-cycle, so the boundary is clean and disputes are rare. You decide how memberships work; the system holds the rules for every booking.
Class passes that count correctly
Sell class packs (a 5-class pass, a 10-class pass, whatever fits your studio) and every booking deducts one credit. When the pass is used up or reaches its expiry date, it stops working, so nobody rides a finished pass.
You can set how long a pass stays valid, and adjust a specific pass's expiry when a student has a genuine reason. Students track how many classes they have left right in the app, which cuts down on "how many do I have?" messages to your inbox.
Intro offers that convert newcomers
Win first-timers with an intro offer — a discounted starter pass or trial-priced block — designed to get someone through the door and into the habit. Because it's just another pass, it books against the same schedule and reports alongside everything else, so you can see how many intro buyers come back.
Discount codes let you run seasonal promotions or partner deals on top, with your own rules for when and where they apply.
Everything visible, on both sides
Students manage their memberships and passes from the free app on iOS and Android, buying, rebooking and checking their balance without messaging you. On your side, memberships and passes feed straight into your reports, so recurring revenue and pass usage are numbers you can see rather than guess.
yoganear.me is built for how yoga studios sell time on the mat. It isn't a retail point-of-sale for a shop floor of physical products; if selling merchandise at a counter is central to your business, that's a job for dedicated POS hardware.
One fee, capped every month
There's no subscription and no setup fee. You pay 2.5% per booking, capped at $99 a month, so quiet months cost less and busy months never cost more than the cap. Card processing from PayPal or Stripe applies on top, as it does on any platform.
Frequently asked questions
Do memberships renew automatically?
Yes. Recurring memberships renew through PayPal or Stripe. Students manage them in the app, and an expired or cancelled membership can't book, so there's no manual checking.
What happens when a student cancels a membership?
Access continues to the end of the period they've already paid for, then stops. The cut-off is clean rather than mid-cycle, which keeps disputes rare.
How do class passes track credits?
Each booking deducts one credit from the pass. When the pass is used up or reaches its expiry date it stops working automatically. Students see their remaining balance in the app.
Can I offer an intro deal for new students?
Yes. Set up an intro offer as a discounted starter pass to win first-timers. It books and reports like any other pass, so you can track how many newcomers return. Discount codes can layer promotions on top.
Can I change when a pass expires for one student?
Yes. You can set default validity for a pass and adjust an individual student's expiry when there's a genuine reason, without affecting anyone else.

The Yoga Studio Pricing Problem Nobody Talks About
It's March. The January rush has evaporated. Your evening vinyasa is back to six regulars and a lot of empty mat space. And then you see the same software bill you paid eight weeks ago when the studio was packed. Something about that maths doesn't sit right.
