Set percentage share on payouts for classes and appointment bookings in payroll templates. This is great for incentivizing staff performance with the actual revenue earned per booking.  

For payroll purposes, you can now also define the value of one credit in unlimited credit memberships.

Steps to set credit value for payroll for unlimited type memberships:

• Go to Setup → Pricing Options

• Select and edit your unlimited membership plan

• Scroll to "Section 2: Expiry and Credits"

• Under “Unlimited” credits, enter the value for: “For payroll and refunds, 1 credit equals ____”

You can enable Quick Pay for selected classes, allowing clients—even non-members—to book and pay instantly with minimal friction.

• This is ideal for trial or one-time purchases where no membership is held.

• Quick-Pay is fully supported on your client app once activated.

• You can also configure exclusive discounts specifically for Quick-Pay transactions.
