Key Features

Online Registration

Prospect clients can join the club by registering in the Client Portal. It is an useful and fully automated alternative to the standard club joining process done by use of the POSweb application, that requires visiting the club. Online registration process flow can be tailored to your business needs. Each stage can include additional fields, by use of which you can collect more detailed data on your club members. 

The standard registration flow includes the following stages:

• Clubs and Payment Plans 
  • You can limit the visibility of clubs a client can join by use of online registration flow in the Client Portal. It would be useful i.e. in case of various club standard within one fitness chain and differentiating high-end clubs from regular ones. Another example would be in case of limiting the number of new clients when the club capacity has already been reached in a given location.  
  • Club offer can also be modified in a way that certain Payment Plans and Products would be available for online purchase only. This way, you can differentiate the target group and offer a given Membership or Product type at a special price to attract new clients. 
• Personal Data
  • You can define which personal data you want to collect during the registration process. The more data you gather by online registration, the less time your Frond Desk staff needs to fill in manually. On the other hand, the easier the online registration flow is to the client, the less effort they need to join your club. You can choose the approach according to your club policy. 
  • You can add the option to allow the clients to accept the Terms and Conditions or grant their consent to data usage for marketing or other purposes.
• Summary
  • To make the online registration process clear and user-friendly, the client gets the Summary including the chosen offer together with a detailed calculation of all the payments to be done upon joining.
  • To make your offer even more attractive, you can make the Discounts available to your clients to choose during the online registration process.
  • You can also add the electronic signature. It will be used on the User Agreement that would be saved in the User Documents tab in the PGM and made available to the client on the Client Portal.
• Payments
  • You can decide which Payment methods you want to enable during the online registration process. By use of this method, the member will be paying their Contract.
  • If you have the payment gateway integrated, the Client Portal online registration flow can be finalized with transferring the client to the online payment gateway. This allows for an easy and effortless payment mechanism, resulting in the payment reaching you without unnecessary delay. Otherwise, the payment can be made during the first visit in the club.
• Notifications

  • You can send Automation Center Notifications to the clients confirming their actions done on the Client Portal. A welcome email could be the first communication sent immediately after the account creation in the Client Portal. To such a message, the Contract Agreement could be attached. Another notification could be sent with the Contract payment confirmation, immediately after the payment process has been successfully finalized. You can send notifications by use of SMS and emails.

Sign-up to the Client Portal 

When registering in the Client Portal, a member enters their email and establishes the Password that enables them to sign into the Client Portal. However, when joining the club by use of the POSweb Front Desk application, and wanting to log into the Client Portal, the member needs to enter the same email address they have previously provided to the Front Desk staff. To create a unique Password to the Client Portal, they need to use the Forgot Password option.

Tabs available in the Client Portal

You can set up the visibility of almost all the tabs according to your business needs. Go to this article for more information.
