Launch your club in an afternoon

Role requiredClub owner

What you’ll achieve: by the end of this guide your club is live in Club Manager — able to take online payments, accept members through an invite link, run a recurring training, and sell its first membership. Set aside an afternoon.

Before you start: you’ll need an email address and, for online payments (step 3), the details Stripe asks of a business or sole trader (ID, IBAN). Steps 8 and 9 use features included with the Club PRO plan.

  2. Start typing your Club main address: and pick your address from the suggestions.
  3. Add your Phone number (choose the country prefix first).
  4. (Optional) upload a square Club logo.

Section titled “4. Configure levels & roles”

Levels describe the skill tiers in your club; roles decide what each staff member can do.

5. Build your onboarding form

Section titled “5. Build your onboarding form”

The onboarding form is what new members fill in when they join through your invite link. Only one can be active at a time.

  1. Open Forms and click + Add Form, then choose Onboarding Form and confirm with OK.
  2. On the Configurations tab, give the form a title and description.
  3. On the Questions tab, click + Add Question for each field. Pick the question type, and — importantly — map the answer to a member-data field (First name, Last name, Email, Phone number, Birthday…). That mapping is what lets the platform copy answers straight into the member’s file when you accept them.
  4. Save.
