Payments are where a booking system earns its keep or quietly loses you money. A reserved spot that isn't a paid spot, a payout that lands in someone else's account first, a currency your students can't pay in: each one is friction between a class and its income.
yoganear.me takes payment at the point of booking through PayPal and Stripe, and the money settles to your own connected account. There's no subscription and no marketplace commission skimmed off your bookings. You pay 2.5% per booking, capped at $99 a month, plus the card processing fees PayPal or Stripe charge, the same fees you'd pay anywhere.
PayPal and Stripe, paid straight to you
Students pay with PayPal, or through Stripe with Apple Pay, Google Pay and card, and the funds go to your own PayPal or Stripe account, not into a platform wallet you have to withdraw from. You stay the merchant of record for your own studio.
Payment is collected when the student books, so a reserved place is already paid for. That turns your schedule from a list of intentions into a list of confirmed, funded bookings.
A fee that's capped, not compounding
yoganear.me charges 2.5% per booking, and that fee is capped at $99 a month. Once you reach the cap, every further booking that month costs you nothing in platform fees. There's no monthly subscription underneath it and no commission taken from a marketplace.
That structure is deliberately kind to busy studios: the more you book, the smaller the fee becomes as a share of revenue, because the cap holds it flat while your income keeps climbing. Card processing fees from PayPal or Stripe apply on top, as they do on every platform.
Built for international studios
Charge in your local currency across 30+ supported currencies, so students pay in money that makes sense to them and you settle in yours. Combined with eight interface languages, that makes yoganear.me a fit for studios with international students, travelling teachers and retreats abroad.
Refunds are handled in the system with the original payment, so cancellations and adjustments follow a clear trail rather than living in email.
Clean records, clean cancellations
Every payment is tied to the booking, membership or pass it belongs to, so your records reconcile without a spreadsheet. Refunds, cancellations and failed renewals each leave a clear status, which keeps your books tidy and disputes uncommon.
Because payouts land in your own PayPal or Stripe account, the parts your accountant cares about — who paid, when, in what currency, and what came back — stay where you already reconcile them.
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
Which payment providers can I use?
PayPal and Stripe. Students can pay with PayPal, or through Stripe with Apple Pay, Google Pay and card. Funds settle to your own connected PayPal or Stripe account.
Does yoganear.me take a commission on my bookings?
There's no marketplace commission and no subscription. You pay 2.5% per booking, capped at $99 a month, plus the standard card processing fees PayPal or Stripe charge. Nothing else.
Where does the money go?
Straight to your own PayPal or Stripe account. You're the merchant of record for your studio; the money isn't held in a platform wallet you have to withdraw from.
What does the monthly cap mean for a busy studio?
Once your 2.5% fees reach $99 in a month, every further booking that month is free of platform fees. The busier you are, the smaller the fee becomes as a share of revenue, which is why the model suits high-volume studios.
Can I charge students in different currencies?
Yes. yoganear.me supports 30+ currencies, so you can charge in your local currency and serve international students, travelling teachers and retreats. Refunds are handled in the system against the original payment.
