RapidCoach lets you collect session fees, dues, and prepaid plans from clients online. Payments are powered by Stripe — you connect once, and money flows straight to your own bank account.
Before you start
Accepting payments is available on every paid plan — Standard, Pro, and Pro Plus. It stays locked during the free trial — you'll need an active paid subscription to turn it on.
Connect your account
- Go to Settings → Billing.
- Find the Accept payments card and choose to set up payments.
- You'll be sent to Stripe to confirm a few business details and link the bank account where you want to be paid. It usually takes a few minutes.
- When Stripe finishes verifying you, you'll return to RapidCoach and the card shows Active.
Tip
Stripe may ask for more information as it verifies your identity. Until it's done, the card shows In progress and you won't be able to charge yet.
What "charge-ready" means
You can collect online payments once all three are true:
- You're on any paid plan (Standard, Pro, or Pro Plus).
- Your Stripe account is connected and verified (Active).
- Payments aren't paused.
Once you're charge-ready, the Payments tool appears in your dashboard and every session gains a Payment option. The Plans tool is available as soon as you're on a paid plan.
Where your money goes
Payments settle directly into your own connected bank account on Stripe's normal payout schedule — RapidCoach never holds your funds. See how fees work for the details.
