Paystack payments for fitness coaches, wired into the platform
Recurring packages, session bookings, and digital products all billed through Paystack in rand, with fees itemised in the open and no payment chasing.
For South African coaches, the payment stack is usually the ugliest part of the business: international platforms that treat local cards as an edge case, payment links pasted into chat, and a mental ledger of who has paid. The money side ends up costing hours and, worse, awkward conversations.
Colossus runs client billing through Paystack natively. Your clients pay with South African cards or EFT, your revenue settles in rand, and the platform does the remembering.
Packages that bill themselves
Coaching packages bill on a recurring schedule through Paystack. Clients pay by card or EFT, the dashboard shows who is current without you asking anyone anything, and the monthly reminder message stops being part of your job.
One checkout for everything you sell
The same rails carry every offer: recurring coaching packages, per-session and class bookings, and one-off content bundles with lifetime access. Your storefront at /c/your-handle puts them behind one link, and promo codes and referral discounts come off before the charge, so a discounted client simply pays the discounted amount.
Fees in the open
The platform fee is 2-6% by tier, and Paystack processing (3.5% + R1 per client charge) is passed through at cost and itemised as its own line on every payout. You can reconcile any payout to the rand without a support ticket.
The admin around the money
Revenue analytics live on the coach dashboard, and workflow automations handle the repetitive follow-up. The subscription itself is in rand too: tiers from R499 to R1,999 per month with 20% off annually, so there is no exchange-rate drift on your own software bill.
Frequently asked questions
Can my clients pay by EFT?

What are the fees?
The platform fee is 2-6% depending on your tier. Paystack processing is 3.5% + R1 per client charge, passed through at cost and itemised on every payout.
How do discounts and referral credits work at checkout?
They apply before the charge. A client with a promo code or referral credit is charged the already-discounted amount; there is no charge-then-refund dance.
