The class is booked but not paid for
The place is held on somebody's word and the no-shows cost you the session. Taking the payment at the point of booking is what turns a name on a list into a place that is actually sold.
Health and fitness
Classes, memberships and the shelf, on one system.
A fitness business sells three different things in the same week: a place in a class, a membership that renews, and whatever sits on the shelf behind the desk. All three can run on one catalog, one customer record and one set of payouts.

Is Crate right for a Health and fitness business?
Crate is used by Health and fitness businesses to sell from one catalogue across their own online store, Instagram, WhatsApp and the counter. A Health and fitness business on Crate lists each product once, with its variants, its photos, its stock and its price in the merchant's own currency, USD or NGN, and every channel then sells that same record. Orders from all of those channels arrive in one Crate queue and stock is drawn down once, so a sale in a chat cannot oversell what is on the shelf. Crate takes the payment methods of the merchant's own market, USSD and pay on delivery included where they apply, and pays out to the business's own bank account. Crate is run from a phone.
The situation this is built for
Where you are now
None of this is unusual. It is what selling in more than one place looks like before there is one system underneath it.
Renewals are chased by hand every month
You go through the list, work out who is due and send the messages yourself. A membership that renews on its own gives that week back.
The shelf lives in a different till from everything else
Supplements and kit are rung up somewhere that does not know about the memberships, so the revenue never adds up in one place. One catalog and one set of reports do.
Made for your trade
Built for the way a fitness business sells.
The same platform underneath, told in the language of your trade. Here is what matters most for the way you sell, all from one dashboard.
- Bookings that are paid. A place in a class is sold like any other product, so the payment arrives with the booking rather than after it.
- Memberships that renew. Recurring plans bill on their own schedule, so the month starts without a list of people to chase.
- One customer, three kinds of sale. The class, the membership and the protein tub all sit on the same customer record, so you can see what a member is actually worth.

Get paid
Take card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer for a class, a renewal or a tub off the shelf. Automatic payouts to your bank.
One catalog
Add it once. Sell it everywhere.
Members ask about the timetable on social and book in the messages, and they buy at the desk on the way out. One catalog covers all three, so a place in a class is sold once and the shelf count is right whichever way it moved.

Health and fitness questions
Can I take payment when somebody books a class?
Yes. A place in a class is a product like any other, so the payment is taken at the point of booking rather than chased afterwards.
Do memberships renew on their own?
Yes. A recurring plan bills on its own schedule and the member stays on one record, so nobody has to work out who is due.
Can I sell supplements and kit as well?
Yes. The shelf is part of the same catalog, so a sale at the front desk and a sale on your store draw on the same stock count.
Do I need a separate system for the front desk?
No. The counter reads the same catalog and writes to the same order queue, so what happens at the desk shows up in the same reports as everything else.
