Compare Dojo Champ's pass-through processing against typical martial arts billing software markups.
Estimates based on industry-typical pricing for martial arts billing platforms. Your exact savings depend on your processor mix.
Monthly, quarterly, or annual cycles. Set it once, payments run on schedule with no spreadsheets.
Credit/debit, ACH bank transfers, Apple Pay and Google Pay. ACH is just 0.8% (capped at $5), huge for high-ticket memberships.
Automatic retries, dunning emails, and one-click member-fix links help recover failed charges.
Branded invoices and PDF receipts for memberships, events, gradings, and retail, emailed automatically.
Card data never touches your servers. Powered by Stripe with enterprise-grade tokenization.
Automatic family pricing, prorations, coupons, and trial periods, no manual math.
Most platforms layer per-student fees on top of inflated processing rates. We don't.

Manual billing takes staff away from teaching and can leak revenue through forgotten declines. Dojo Champ runs your recurring charges, retries failures, and emails members automatically - so you spend your time on the mat, not the spreadsheet.
