Leading fitness business solutions provider, Hapana, has announced its collaboration with Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, to power payments globally for Hapana’s customers. With the majority of Hapana’s fitness brand customers being multi-site operations, the integration increases in significance for Hapana as the company continues its global expansion.

Hapana is growing
Over the past few years Hapana has been developing their tech suite to provide their rapidly growing brands with the support and ability to expand globally. With streamlined software providing analytics and data to brands across multiple countries and regions, Hapana has seen rapid growth internationally and now have their sights set on untapped regions with the help of Stripe.

Hapana goes global with payments
With Stripe, Hapana will be able to offer global financial infrastructure solutions to gyms and fitness brands such as cross-border payouts, enabling Hapana’s customers to quickly and easily accept a wide range of payment methods, from credit cards to digital wallets to direct debits across the US, Asia and Australia.

Jarron Aizen, Hapana Chief Executive noted “partnering with Stripe accelerates our ambition to meet global customer needs in the dynamic world of boutique fitness. For multi-site businesses spanning hundreds of locations across diverse modalities like yoga, pilates, spin, and functional training, tailored solutions like advanced reporting, royalty splits, and a global footprint are paramount.

“As we swiftly expand into new geographies, our ability to provide a seamless user experience on behalf of our customers, powered by an industry-leading payments suite, positions us further as the leader in management software for the fitness industry.”

Scaling with Stripe Connect
In support of their global expansion plans, Hapana will be leveraging Stripe Connect to embed financial infrastructure into their software and offer payments globally via a single unified integration. For franchisor-franchisee relationships, Stripe Connect will automate and facilitate Hapana’s complex fund flow and royalty requirements, enabling accountability for both franchisees and franchisors in a transaction.

Mike Clayville, Chief Customer Officer at Stripe adds “anyone with a studio membership will appreciate the flexible payment schemes that fitness businesses provide. To ensure the same payment experience is applied across studios and clubs globally, is not a light lift for many fitness businesses.

“We’re thrilled to work with Hapana to support their customers in the US, Australia, and across many more regions globally to customise payments that are fast, convenient, and consistent.”
