Payment tracking
Reviewed and updated
Short answer
izow keeps manual records, Stripe online payments, Square in-person payments, lesson packages, open balances, and income connected. Stripe and Square are optional, independent choices.
Payments and balances
Keep manual records, Stripe actions, Square collection, package rates, and open balances tied to the correct client and purchase.
A bank or payment-app history can show that money moved, but it usually does not show which lesson package was paid, how much remains outstanding, or how the payment affects coaching income. izow keeps those records together.
Coaches can record payments received outside izow. These entries document money collected elsewhere; they do not mean izow directly processes those methods.
Pro coaches can connect their own Stripe account and create secure links for a full open balance or a fixed plan of 2–12 monthly payments. Eligible checkout methods can include cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Cash App Pay, Klarna, and supported bank-payment methods. Stripe processes payments and manages payouts.
Pro coaches can connect Square and use the Square Point of Sale app, Tap to Pay on a supported phone, a Square Reader, or a paired Square Terminal. A successfully verified payment can be recorded against the appropriate package.
izow does not hold coach funds, manually approve payouts, or store full card or bank numbers. Stripe and Square control processing, eligibility, fees, and payout timing under the coach's connected accounts.
