FAQ
Questions owners ask
Do my members need to install an app?
No. They scan the door QR with their phone camera, or you tap their name on the roll call. Signup and trial forms open in the browser.
Does Lapelio charge my members' cards automatically?
No. Lapelio doesn't run autopay. If you connect your own Stripe account, card payments made there show up in Lapelio by themselves, and anyone can pay what they owe by card through a pay link. Cash, checks, Venmo and Zelle you log in a few taps. If autopay on every membership is a must, Lapelio isn't the right tool yet.
Does Lapelio do waivers?
No. Keep your waiver tool or your paper waivers. Lapelio keeps your members, attendance, trials and payments.
