Can I pause billing during school holiday periods?

Yes. Configure term-time billing with automatic pauses aligned to your school calendar. Billing stops during the holiday break and resumes at the start of the next term automatically.

Can I apply sibling discounts to monthly billing?

Yes. Set your sibling discount rules. When a family has 2+ children enrolled, the discounts are applied automatically to every monthly charge. No manual adjustment needed.

Can parents cancel mid-term and get a pro-rated refund?

You define the refund policy. Mid-term cancellations can receive a pro-rated credit or refund per your terms. The policy is applied automatically by the system.

Can families enrol additional children without contacting me?

Yes. Parents add additional children from the self-service portal. Sibling discounts are applied automatically. A new Stripe subscription starts for the additional child immediately.

Can I offer an annual membership at a discounted rate?

Yes. Annual memberships billed upfront provide a saving vs monthly billing. A good option for families with children in multiple permanent activities.

What happens if a family misses a payment?

Stripe retries automatically. If still unpaid, session booking access is suspended and parents receive an automatic notification. You never need to chase individual families.

Can I run term-based registration drives alongside rolling subscriptions?

Yes. Existing monthly members are enrolled automatically. New families register via a term-start portal and join the monthly billing cycle from that point.

What is Kids Club Subscription Software?

Subscription software for kids clubs converts the manual, term-by-term billing cycle into an automated recurring system that collects fees without any action from you.

✓ Sell term-based or monthly rolling activity membership plans
✓ Stripe handles all recurring billing automatically
✓ Children receive a session allowance per billing period
✓ Lapsed memberships automatically remove session booking access
✓ Parents manage their plan from a self-service portal

A subscription model means your activity income arrives reliably, and your start-of-term admin reduces to reviewing a fully-paid register.

The problems kids club subscription software solves

Manual workarounds that cost kids clubs businesses hours every week.

The administrative surge at the start of every new term

Sending invoices, chasing payments, processing registrations, and confirming places for 80 families at term start takes an entire week. Automated billing eliminates this.

Families who don't re-register for the next term and don't tell you

Without an explicit renewal mechanism, you only discover non-renewals when the session starts and a child who normally attends doesn't turn up. Subscriptions require an explicit cancel action.

Irregular income during holiday periods and school closures

Monthly billing continues across school holidays if your programme runs year-round. For term-time-only programmes, pause rules handle the breaks automatically.

Sibling billing complexity with multiple children per family

Computing sibling discounts, applying them correctly across multiple children, and billing the family net amount manually creates errors and disputes.

How Bizzly works

From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.

Choose your industry Launch Pack

Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.

Customer pays first, then books

A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.

Calendar enforces quota automatically

The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.

The Solution

How Bizzly handles kids club subscription software

Purpose-built features for kids clubs businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.

Rolling monthly activity memberships

Set up monthly plans per activity per child. Stripe collects on the same date each month. Access to sessions continues as long as billing is active. Cancellations require deliberate action.

Rolling monthly billing

Term-period billing with automatic pausing

For term-time-only clubs, configure billing to pause during school holidays automatically. No charges during holiday periods; billing resumes at the start of each new term.

Term-aware billing

Family-level sibling discounts

Sibling discounts are computed at the family level and applied automatically to the monthly Stripe charge. Second child 10%, third child 15%. No manual calculation ever.

Automatic sibling discounts

Failed payment dunning

Failed Stripe payments are retried automatically. If unresolved, session access is suspended. Parents are sent automated notifications at each dunning stage.

Automated payment recovery
