Payments and invoicing
Get paid in dirhams, with the paperwork done.
Members pay online with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, or at the desk. Every payment gets a sequential FTA tax invoice with 5% VAT where it applies, every refund gets a credit note, and the money settles to your own UAE bank account.
Online and at the desk, one ledger.
Card, wallet, cash and bank transfer all land in the same ledger with the same invoice numbering. A sale made at the front desk and a sale made on a phone at midnight look identical to your accountant.
- Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay online
- Cash, card terminal and transfer recorded at the desk
- One sequential invoice series across every channel
FTA tax invoices, built in.
Every payment produces a tax invoice with your TRN, a sequential number, the VAT amount and the member's details. Refunds produce credit notes that reference the original invoice. Your VAT return is an export, not a reconstruction.
- Sequential numbering that never skips or repeats
- VAT calculated at 5% on registered studios, zero on unregistered ones
- Simplified invoices for walk-in sales, full invoices for corporate clients
Your money in your account.
Payments settle to your studio's own Stripe account and from there to your UAE bank, in AED. A payouts page shows the balance, the next payout date, the history and the exact processing fees, so you never wonder where the money is.
- AED settlement to your bank
- Balance, schedule and fees on one page
- Bare Links adds nothing on top of the card processor's fee
Declined cards, followed up without awkward calls.
When a renewal fails, the member gets three timed messages over email and WhatsApp with a link to update the card. The front desk gets a worklist of who is outstanding. Most recover without anyone picking up the phone.
- Automatic retries through Stripe
- Three timed touches, then a desk worklist
- A clear status at the desk for members in arrears

Questions owners ask
Questions about payments and invoicing.
Short answers. If yours is missing, ask on the demo call.
Which payment providers do you support?
Stripe powers card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with settlement to your UAE bank account. We are onboarding local rails (Telr, Network International) for studios that need a local acquirer. We configure and test the payment flow with you during onboarding.
Are the tax invoices really FTA compliant?
They carry the fields the Federal Tax Authority requires: your name, address and TRN, a sequential number, the date, a description of the supply, the amount before VAT, the VAT rate and amount, and the total. Refunds produce credit notes that reference the original invoice.
What does Bare Links charge on payments?
Nothing. Your subscription is the whole price. The card processor charges its own rate on card payments, as it would on any platform.
