Automated billing takes the work out of collecting recurring membership payments. Once configured, GymMaster automatically manages billing runs, payment processing, and collection through your chosen billing provider.

This process typically takes 3 to 5 working days, though timing can vary depending on your billing provider and the member’s bank.
