Integration Hub · Booking & Membership

Bookings, renewals and payments — running on their own, between Tuesday and Tuesday.

For Australian clubs, associations, community groups, training providers, venues and instructor-led businesses. Built around the website and member platform you already use.

You should not have to spend Monday morning chasing the weekend's payments or Friday afternoon reconciling membership renewals. The booking, payment and member workflow can run itself.

Booking, Payments & Membership Hub wires it all together — online booking on your existing site, payments through Stripe or Square, reconciliation to Xero or MYOB, member self-service, automated renewal cadence, real reporting.

  • Same week First online booking after launch
  • +15–25% On-time renewal lift, typically
  • Your site Embedded in WordPress / your CMS
  • AU-wide Perth-based · servicing Australia
  • Fixed Price scopes, no surprises
  • Connects Stripe · Square · Xero · MYOB · SwiftFox
The difference a real integration makes

Real outcomes, by solving real booking, payment and membership workflow problems

  • Bookings land while the office sleeps
    The website asks people to "email or ring to book" — most of them never do, and off-hours signups are lost
  • Renewals run on rails
    Annual renewals slip through, lapsed members never come back, and membership revenue leaks at the seams
  • One member record, one source of truth
    Members, bookings and payments live in three different spreadsheets — a simple "who attended what" report takes an afternoon
  • Payments matched the same minute
    Manual chasing of fees, deposits and registration payments — bank transfers without a reference, half-paid registrations, cash at the door
  • Waitlists promote themselves
    Cancellations and waitlists are a phone call and an email thread — the office burns hours ringing replacements and processing refunds by hand
  • Board reports the AGM trusts
    Member numbers, revenue and event attendance disagree across systems — the AGM argues about whose spreadsheet is right instead of strategy

How it connects

One workflow. Every booking captured, every member tracked.

Members and bookings come in from your website, your event platform, walk-ups and recurring renewals. The Hub captures them, takes payment, updates the member record and pushes to accounting — without someone in the office driving each step.

What we build

The five things we run in this Hub

Each tab is a typical engagement — bookings, members, payments, comms, reporting. Pick what hurts first; the rest can follow in stages.

Self-service booking that runs without your office

The shape. Visitor lands on your site, picks a class / court / appointment / event from a live calendar, fills a short form, pays the deposit or full fee, gets the calendar invite and SMS confirmation. Office finds out it happened from the dashboard.

What we connect. Embedded into your existing WordPress site or a thin custom booking app. Calendar feeds out to Google Calendar / Outlook. Payments routed through Stripe or Square. Off-hours signups land the same minute, with capacity limits enforced at the form.

Renewals that run themselves and lapsed-member campaigns that actually fire

Member records & renewal cycle. One profile per person — contact, membership tier, payment method on file, attendance history, communications. Reminder 30 days before renewal, automated bill 7 days before, renewal email on the day, follow-ups on day 7 and day 21 if it lapses. Optional manual escalation only when the structured sequence has played out.

Lapsed-member workflow. Members who lapse drop into a re-engagement sequence — a personal note, an offer, a path back. The structured campaign runs even when no one in the office has the bandwidth to drive it.

Money in the bank, matched to the member, reconciled the same minute

How customers pay. Pay-on-booking via Stripe or Square. Saved payment method for recurring memberships. Direct debit for annual fees where appropriate. Payment links on every invoice. Tap-to-pay at events for walk-ups.

What happens behind the scenes. Every payment matches to a specific member and a specific booking or invoice, then pushes into Xero or MYOB with the right tracking category. No more matching bank transfers by hand, chasing unpaid bookings or treating refund processing as an afterthought.

Every member touchpoint, tied to the right event and the right person

Transactional & campaign comms. Booking confirmations, reminder SMS the day before, on-the-day check-in details, post-event thank-yous and payment receipts — all tied to the booking record. Newsletters, event invitations, renewal reminders and lapsed-member re-engagement run on Mailchimp or HubSpot with member segments synced from the database.

Two-way. Members reply by SMS or email, and the reply lands against the booking or member record — not in someone's personal inbox. The next time anyone in the office picks it up, the conversation history is right there.

Self-service for members, real numbers for the board

The member portal. Members log in to see their bookings, membership status, payment history, certifications, points or credits. They renew themselves, update contact details and book future events without ringing the office.

Admin & board reporting. Membership numbers, attendance, revenue by event type, lapsed members, top members, age and demographic mix — refreshed continuously from live data, not exported monthly. AGM presentations build from the same dashboard the office uses on Monday mornings, so the conversation moves from "are these numbers right?" to "what do we do about them?"

Case study

Industry association: a member portal that took the office off the renewal hamster wheel

A national industry association with 4,000+ members across multiple membership tiers. We built a member portal embedded into their existing WordPress site, automated the renewal cycle with structured reminder cadence, wired member fees directly into Xero, and built a board-grade reporting dashboard. On-time renewals lifted, lapsed-member campaigns started firing automatically, and the office stopped being a renewal switchboard.

What it looks like in practice

Three workflows we run most often

Actual member journeys from working clubs, associations and venues.

  1. Class booking → attendance

    From "I might go on Tuesday" to "I went, I paid, I rebooked"

    • MonMember browses class calendar on your site
    • MonPicks Tuesday session, pays via Stripe — confirmed instantly
    • MonCalendar invite + booking receipt land in their inbox
    • Tue AMReminder SMS sent 2 hours before the session
    • Tue PMMember checks in via QR or staff tap; attendance logged
    • WedThank-you email with next-week class suggestions
    • WedMember books next week without re-entering anything
  2. Annual membership renewal

    The renewal cycle that runs itself

    • -30dRenewal heads-up email: "Your membership renews on…"
    • -7dAuto-charge reminder: "We will charge your card on file"
    • Day 0Card charged via Stripe; member portal updates to renewed
    • Day 0Receipt + new membership card emailed; Xero invoice posted
    • +7dPersonal note from office to top-tier members
    • If lapseThree-touch re-engagement sequence kicks off automatically
  3. Multi-day event with waitlist

    • 3Registered attendee cancels two weeks out
    • 4Next person on waitlist invited with a 48-hour deadline
    • 5They accept and pay; calendar invite + receipt issued

    • 7Office finds out it happened from Monday\'s dashboard
Where the return comes from

What changes in the first 90 days

Most Booking & Membership Hub engagements pay back the engagement cost inside the first quarter. The first wins are usually online booking revenue and reclaimed office time.

Revenue from day one

Online booking + payment up-front means the first signup lands the week the form goes live. Off-hours bookings stop falling through to "we will get back to you".

Renewals stop slipping

Automated billing and structured reminder cadence typically lifts on-time renewal rates by 15–25%. Lapsed-member campaigns fire even when the office is overstretched.

Numbers everyone trusts

Member, booking, payment and accounting data share one source of truth. The AGM debates strategy, not whose spreadsheet is right.

Office stops being a switchboard

Confirmation comms, reminders, waitlist promotion and renewal nudges all fire automatically. Office staff handle exceptions, not routine.

Reconciliation done the same minute

Stripe and Square payments match to the member and the booking automatically. No Friday-afternoon spreadsheet. No untraceable bank transfers.

Branding stays yours

We embed the booking and member experience into your existing WordPress site (or build a thin custom front end). Members see your colours, your tone, your photos — not a generic SaaS interface.

Packages

Three ways into the Booking & Membership Hub

Start small if the workflow gap is contained — bookings + payments on the existing site is the most common entry point. Scale to a full custom platform when membership tiers, regional chapters or governance complexity justify it.

Starter Hub — bookings and payments wired to your existing site

For: clubs, instructors, training providers and small associations that take bookings or charge fees but still rely on email or phone for half the process.

What you get: Online booking embedded into your existing WordPress or club site. Stripe or Square payments wired to the booking. Calendar feed to Google or Outlook. Automated confirmation comms by email or SMS. Connection to Xero or MYOB so payments reconcile.

Timeline: 3 to 5 weeks. Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call. First booking usually lands within a fortnight of going live.

Member Hub — bookings, members, payments and comms in one workflow

For: established clubs, mid-size associations, wellness studios and community organisations with 100–2,000 members and recurring events / classes / activities.

What you get: Member portal with self-service. Recurring membership billing with automated renewal cadence. Online booking and event registration with waitlist management. Two-way payment reconciliation. Mailchimp or HubSpot member-segment sync. Admin reporting and lapsed-member workflow.

Timeline: 8 to 12 weeks delivered in stages. Highest-value piece live inside the first month. Fixed-price.

Custom Community Platform — multi-tier, multi-region, branded experience

For: industry associations, multi-region sporting bodies and large not-for-profits with multi-tier membership, governance workflows, regional chapters, sponsorship management or grant-funded program reporting.

What you get: Bespoke platform architected for your operation. Multi-tier and multi-region membership. Governance and board workflows. Sponsorship CRM. Grant-funded program reporting. Custom-branded member experience. Integration with existing tooling (SwiftFox, accounting, document storage).

Timeline: 3 to 6 months in clearly defined stages. Each stage delivers measurable value before the next begins. Fixed-price per stage, with an ongoing support agreement once live.

Renewals used to be a four-week chase every year — three staff splitting the spreadsheet, ringing through the lapsed list, manually billing. The first year after launch, the renewal cycle ran itself. The office still talks to members — but now it is about programs and events, not chasing money. Membership grew 18% in the first 12 months and admin headcount didn't.

FAQs

Common questions about Booking, Payments & Membership Hub

We use revSPORT / SwiftFox / a club platform already. Do we need this?

Probably not as a replacement — these platforms are good at what they do. Integration Hub fills the gaps around them: the booking flow, the payment reconciliation, the comms automation, the reporting layer. Your team keeps the platform they know; the workflow around it gets cleaner.

We use WordPress for our site. Can we keep it?

Yes — and we usually recommend it. We embed the booking flow, member login and event registration directly into your existing WordPress site so members see your branding and content. You do not have to send people to a separate SaaS-branded URL.

How do payments actually work?

We integrate with Stripe and Square (or both). Members pay online at the time of booking or renewal. Walk-ups can pay by tap-to-pay at events. Recurring memberships charge automatically using a saved card. Every payment reconciles to the right member and the right invoice automatically. Refunds follow defined rules — no email-based bespoke processing.

Are member privacy and payment data handled safely?

Yes. We never store card details ourselves — Stripe and Square hold the tokens, and members manage their own payment methods through the portal. Member data sits in your existing systems where you already have privacy controls; we move data between systems via authenticated APIs only. Compliance with Australian Privacy Principles is baked in.

How long does it take to launch?

A Starter Hub (bookings + payments wired to your existing site) goes live in 3 to 5 weeks. A Member Hub (full booking + member portal + reconciliation + comms) runs 8 to 12 weeks delivered in stages — your highest-value piece is live inside the first month. A Custom Community Platform runs 3 to 6 months in stages.

How are projects priced?

Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call followed by a deeper requirements session. No hourly billing that drifts. Larger Custom Community Platforms are priced per stage so you can adjust scope between stages. You know the cost before any work starts.

Do we own what is built?

Yes. Every Hub engagement results in working software that you own outright. No per-member SaaS subscription to us. Optional ongoing support agreement covers bug fixes, integration maintenance and small feature additions — but the system is yours and you can take it elsewhere if circumstances change.

Can we run a free trial or member preview?

Yes — trial memberships, member-preview events, "first class free" promotions, sponsor preview access and similar models are all common patterns we build. The structured workflow handles the trial-to-paying conversion sequence automatically.
