Frequently Asked Questions

Can a member update their own payment method?
If the member has access to their account portal, they may be able to update it themselves. Otherwise, your team handles it.

What's the difference between credit card and ACH?
Credit cards process instantly. ACH bank transfers take 3-7 business days but typically have lower processing fees. The CC processing fee (set in ClubOS Settings) only applies to card payments, not ACH.
