Pay the Gym Directly

Parents pay their gym directly using whatever method the gym accepts, such as cash on-site, bank transfer, or GCash to the gym's own account. SenseiDesk does not use an online payment gateway, so no card details are ever entered on our platform.

  • Cash, bank transfer, or e-wallet
  • Paid to the gym's own account details
  • No card details entered on SenseiDesk
  • No online gateway or redirect

Upload Proof of Payment

After paying, the parent uploads a screenshot or photo of their receipt directly in SenseiDesk and attaches it to the invoice. This becomes the record of payment for the gym to review.

  • Upload a screenshot or receipt photo
  • Attach it to the correct invoice
  • Add a reference number or note
  • Submitted instantly to the gym
