Payments & Invoicing
GET PAID.
AUTOMATICALLY.
Automated payments and invoicing for personal trainers
Invoices sent. Payments collected. Funds deposited. All on autopilot, with payouts arriving within 24 hours.
From booking to bank
HOW AUTOMATED PAYMENT PROCESSING WORKS
From the moment a client books to the moment money hits your bank, every step is automated. Here is the full trail of a real payment.
- Invoices generate and send themselves the moment a client books or you assign a programme
- Every card payment is fraud-screened and PCI-compliant out of the box
- A 24-hour security hold clears, then funds land directly in your bank — no chasing

ACCEPT PAYMENTS GLOBALLY
Your clients aren't all in one country, and your payment system should reflect that. NForge supports multiple major currencies out of the box, so you can charge clients in the currency that makes sense for them. Set the currency per class or per programme and we handle the conversion. Your payouts arrive in your local currency regardless of what your client paid in.
- Multiple major currencies supported
- Set the currency per class or programme
- Clients pay in their local currency
- Payouts deposited in your local currency
FOUR TYPES OF AUTOMATED INVOICE
Different services call for different billing. NForge gives you four distinct invoice types so you can bill for anything, from a single ad-hoc consultation to an ongoing class subscription. Each type handles automatic payment collection, and every transaction is tracked in your dashboard so you always know what's been paid and what's outstanding.
- Standalone invoices for ad-hoc charges
- Scheduled invoices for recurring billing arrangements
- Class subscription invoices generated automatically when clients book
- Programme invoices created when you assign and send a programme

You pay 7.9% when a transaction goes through. That's it. There's no subscription, no per-client charge, and no feature gating. That single fee funds the entire platform: every feature, every update, every line of infrastructure. If you earn nothing, you pay nothing.

Automated invoicing engine

Let's do the maths
YOU DON'T PAY UNTIL YOU EARN.
Say you earn £1,000 in a month through NForge. The 7.9% platform fee comes to £79, meaning you keep £921.
Now consider a competitor charging £99 per month in subscription fees alone. On the same £1,000 revenue, you'd keep £901 — and that's before their payment processing fees are deducted. Add their standard card fees on top and the gap widens further.
With monthly subscription software, you pay whether you have clients or not. The maths only gets better as your revenue grows, because NForge never introduces tiered pricing or feature locks based on how much you earn.
£921
kept from every £1,000 you earn — no subscription deducted first
