Gym Billing Software — VAT-Compliant, AED-Native, Tabby-Ready

Recurring subscriptions on Telr and PayTabs. Tabby buy-now-pay-later for annual upgrades. Smart 4-stage card retries with WhatsApp. FTA-compliant tax invoices in English and Arabic. Built specifically for the way money moves through a UAE gym.

Most international gym software was built for Stripe in the US or GoCardless in the UK. They bolt on UAE payments later, badly. The result: gyms in Dubai end up running two systems — one for the software, one for the actual money — and reconciling them by hand every month.

GymViz was built for the UAE first. Telr, PayTabs, Tabby, and Network International are core integrations, not afterthoughts. The 5% VAT, the TRN on every invoice, the bilingual receipt format the FTA requires, the AED–SAR–KWD multi-currency handling for cross-emirate chains — all of it works out of the box.

Why gym owners choose GymViz

Telr & PayTabs native

Direct, certified integrations with the two largest UAE gateways. AED settlement to your local Mashreq, ENBD, FAB, or ADCB account. Standard MDR rates, instant tokenization, recurring billing on day one.

Tabby BNPL on annual plans

Members split AED 3,600 annual memberships into 4 interest-free payments via Tabby. Operators see 25–35% lift in annual-plan conversion vs upfront-only pricing.

Network International + Mada

Network International (UAE) and Mada (KSA) supported for chains operating across the GCC. Same dashboard, same reports, two settlement currencies.

Smart 4-stage dunning

Failed cards retry automatically at 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d with WhatsApp messages and one-tap pay links. Combined recovery rate ~67%, far above the 35–40% industry average.

Automatic access suspension

When a card fails 14 days past due, biometric access auto-suspends. Member reactivates by paying. No staff intervention, no awkward lobby conversations.

FTA-compliant tax invoices

Every transaction generates a VAT invoice with TRN, gym name, member details, breakdown of taxable items, and Arabic/English bilingual format. PDF auto-emailed and stored 7 years.

Multi-currency

AED, SAR, KWD, BHD, OMR, QAR. Auto-converts based on member registration country. Reports roll up to your reporting currency.

Cash, cheque & bank transfer

Walk-in cash, cheque, and bank-transfer payments are still 30%+ of UAE gym revenue. GymViz tracks them, reconciles them against subscriptions, and includes them in the same VAT report.

One-click refunds

Partial or full refunds back to the original payment method in one click. Refund triggers an automatic VAT credit note and adjusts the member's access expiry instantly.

How it works

WPS-compatible payouts

For staff payroll, GymViz exports a WPS-compliant SIF file your bank uploads directly. Trainer commissions, front-desk hours, and PT splits are calculated automatically and rolled into the same file.

Corporate billing

Sell 50-seat memberships to a Dubai corporate, generate one consolidated VAT invoice with the company TRN, but track individual employee usage and access permissions separately.

Family and add-on billing

Spouse and child members on a parent account, supplement add-ons, locker fees, towel service — all rolled into one monthly invoice instead of 5 separate charges.

Pause, freeze & pro-rata

Members can freeze for medical reasons, vacation, or Ramadan. GymViz pro-rates the next bill automatically and adjusts the access expiry — no manual maths.

How UAE VAT actually works inside GymViz

Every taxable supply you make as a UAE gym needs a tax invoice that meets the FTA's spec: TRN displayed prominently, Arabic and English fields, a clear VAT amount, the supplier and recipient both identified, and an issue date in the right format. Get any of it wrong and your input-tax claim risks rejection during an audit.

GymViz generates that invoice every single time, automatically. Membership fees, PT packages, supplement sales, day passes, locker fees, towel service, late-cancel fees — all of them produce a compliant invoice the moment money is collected. The full VAT return is one click in the admin dashboard at the end of the period: total taxable supplies, output VAT, input VAT from your supplier invoices, net payable. We do not file the return for you, but your accountant will love how clean the export is.

  • TRN auto-displayed on every invoice and receipt
  • Bilingual Arabic + English invoice template (FTA-compliant)
  • Standard 5% VAT, zero-rated, and exempt categories supported
  • Reverse-charge handling for international PT trainers
  • Quarterly and monthly VAT-period reports, downloadable as XLSX
  • 7-year invoice archive (FTA requirement) with audit trail

Why Tabby quietly doubles annual-plan revenue

When you ask a UAE member to pay AED 3,600 upfront for an annual membership, even at a 25% discount, most of them say they will "think about it." When you offer the same plan as 4 payments of AED 900 with no interest, the conversation changes completely.

Tabby is the dominant BNPL provider in the UAE and Saudi. Members already use it for fashion, electronics, and groceries. GymViz drops Tabby into the checkout flow as a single button — the member taps it, completes a 90-second KYC inside Tabby's app, and you receive the full AED 3,600 (minus Tabby's MDR) within 1–2 business days. The member pays Tabby in 4 installments. You bear no credit risk.

Customers who turn this on typically see annual-plan attach rates rise from 8–12% to 18–28% within the first 60 days, with no discount changes.

Reconciliation that takes minutes, not days

In most UAE gyms, the monthly close looks like this: the front-desk supervisor exports a Telr report, the bookkeeper opens the bank statement, someone tries to match cheques to members, supplement sales to inventory, and PT package usage to trainer commissions. It eats 2–3 days every month.

GymViz collapses that. Every payment — gateway, cash, cheque, transfer, BNPL — lands in the same ledger tied to the member, the product, the branch, and the trainer. Your monthly close is a single dashboard view: this is what we earned, this is what hit the bank, this is the variance, this is why. Most operators close the month inside 30 minutes once they switch.

Frequently asked questions

Which UAE payment gateways does GymViz integrate with?

Telr, PayTabs, Network International, Tabby (BNPL), Stripe (for international USD/EUR), and direct bank rails through Mashreq, ENBD, FAB, ADCB, and Emirates NBD. KSA chains can add HyperPay and Mada. Kuwait chains can add MyFatoorah and KNET.

Are GymViz invoices accepted by the FTA in a VAT audit?

Yes. The invoice format is reviewed against current FTA requirements, includes mandatory fields (TRN, supplier/recipient, VAT breakdown, bilingual fields), and is archived for the required 7 years. We have customers who have been audited and passed without issue.

Can I sell annual memberships with Tabby installments?

Yes. The Tabby button drops directly into the checkout flow. Members split into 4 interest-free payments, you receive the full amount within 1–2 business days, and Tabby carries the credit risk.

Does GymViz handle cash and cheque payments?

Yes. Cash, cheque, and bank-transfer payments are recorded against the member, post-dated cheques are tracked with reminder alerts when they are due to clear, and everything reconciles into the same VAT report as gateway transactions.

How are refunds handled?

One-click refund processes via the original gateway, generates a compliant VAT credit note, recalculates the member's access expiry, and triggers a WhatsApp notification — all automatically.

Can I run multi-currency for branches in different countries?

Yes. A chain with branches in Dubai (AED), Riyadh (SAR), and Kuwait City (KWD) can run all three currencies natively. Reports roll up to your reporting currency at the live rate, but each branch transacts in its local currency.

Is staff payroll WPS-compatible for UAE labour law?

Yes. GymViz exports a WPS-compliant SIF file your bank uploads to the WPS portal. Overtime, leave deductions, gratuity accrual, and PT commission splits are all calculated automatically based on the rules you set.
