MindBody Payment Processing

MindBody is fantastic software for managing your gym or studio. Their built-in payment processing? Not so much. MindBody Payments charges rates that eat into your margins—and most gym owners don't realize they have a choice.

Here's what MindBody doesn't advertise: you can keep using MindBody for everything you love—scheduling, member management, marketing—while processing payments through a third-party provider like Unison at significantly lower rates.

The math is simple. MindBody Payments typically charges 2.75% + $0.25 per transaction for in-person, and even higher for online bookings. For a gym processing $50,000/month, that's roughly $1,500 in fees. Unison clients processing the same volume often pay $500-800/month—saving $700-1,000 every single month.

Our integration with MindBody is seamless. Payments sync automatically with member accounts. Class bookings, membership charges, and retail purchases all flow into MindBody exactly as they would with MindBody Payments. Your front desk workflow doesn't change. Your reporting doesn't change. Your costs change dramatically.

Why does MindBody charge so much? They're a software company, not a payment specialist. Their processing is white-labeled from traditional processors with markup added. We're payment specialists who've optimized specifically for the fitness industry—better rates, better service, better technology.

Switching is surprisingly easy. We handle the integration setup. Your MindBody data stays intact. Members don't notice anything different except maybe a new card reader at the front desk. Most gyms complete the switch in under a week with zero disruption.
