In a nutshell: Configure which payment methods your organization accepts (cash, card via Stripe, wallets, custom manual methods) and choose which one is preselected when members book in the portal.

Overview

Open Settings → Billing → Payment methods to see every payment method available to your organization. The list combines two sources:
  • System payment methods — provided by 1Club (e.g. Stripe Card if you have Stripe connected). You can’t edit or delete these, but you can change their visibility for member-facing flows.
  • Organization payment methods — methods you create yourself, typically for manual collection (e.g. cash, bank transfer, wallet).

Adding a manual payment method

  1. Navigate to Settings → Billing → Payment methods
  2. Click Add Payment Method
  3. Fill in:
    • Name — what the method is called in the admin and at checkout (e.g. “Cash”, “Bank transfer”)
    • Code — short identifier used in reports and integrations
    • Visibility — Private (admin only), Public, or Member only (visible in the member portal/app)
  4. Save
Manual methods are recorded against payments without going through a payment gateway — useful for in-person collection or any flow where you settle outside Stripe.

Editing or deleting a method

  • Edit — Click the row’s edit action to update name, code, or visibility
  • Delete — Only methods that are not referenced by any existing payment can be deleted. If a method has been used, change its visibility instead
System methods (those provided by 1Club) cannot be deleted; only their visibility settings are editable.

Setting the preferred method for member bookings

The Preferred payment method for member bookings control sets which method is preselected when a member books a class in the member portal. Pick from the methods that are visible to members, or leave it as “None” to require members to choose explicitly.

Channels

Each payment method belongs to a channel:
  • Manual — Recorded outside any gateway (e.g. cash, bank transfer)
  • Stripe (Card) — Card processing via your connected Stripe account
  • Wallet — In-app wallet credit
Channel determines how a payment is processed when the method is selected. Channel is set when the method is created and cannot be changed later.

Common tasks

Accept cash at the front desk

  1. Add a manual method named “Cash” with visibility set to Private
  2. Front desk staff can select it on point-of-sale and walk-in payments

Let members pay with a card in the portal

  1. Connect Stripe in Integrations
  2. The Stripe Card method appears automatically in Payment methods as a system method
  3. Set its visibility so members can see it, and optionally mark it as the preferred method for bookings

Add bank transfer for invoiced billing

  1. Add a manual method named “Bank transfer” with visibility Private
  2. Use it when reconciling paid invoices for organizations or families that pay by transfer

Tips & best practices

  • Keep codes stable — They’re referenced in reports and integrations
  • Use visibility, not deletion — Hiding a deprecated method keeps historical payments intact
  • One preferred method — Only one method is preselected for member bookings; pick the one most members use to reduce friction
  • Integrations — Connect Stripe so card payments become available
  • Payments — Review actual payment records by method
