Your regulars pay in advance: subscription, session pass, gift card
You set the amounts and the perks once. The direct debits go out by themselves on the 5th, and you can see what has been paid in advance and what is still to be used.

Dear Mr Gentil,
The direct debit for your subscription couldn't go through this morning. Is that expected? If your card has changed, update it in one click. Otherwise, nothing to do: we'll try again on 12 October.
Update my cardOn the 5th of the month,
your cash is already in.
You recognise these lines
You only take money when someone walks through the door
You can't say what you'll take next month
You have regulars who pay visit by visit
You sell gift cards without knowing who holds what
You pay your suppliers before you've been paid
Three plans: subscription, session pass, gift card, each with its own rule, set once. On the 5th of the month the direct debits go out by themselves, and your cash flow is known in advance. For the record: 13.6 days of late payment on average, that is 15 billion euros missing from small businesses, and 70,000 insolvency proceedings in 2025, with businesses of fewer than 3 employees in the front line. Payments: Observatoire des délais de paiement, Banque de France, 2024. Insolvencies: Altares 2025.
You decide, step by step, what you hand over
Here's what becomes of a plan over a month, from the direct debit on the 5th to the final summary. At each step, say whether you keep doing it by hand or Atlas® takes it on: the counters recalculate before your eyes.
You set the plan
The amount, the perk, the direct debit day. Set once, and nothing changes without the subscriber being told first.
The direct debit goes out on the 5th
All 70 subscribers are debited in one go, and the money is in the account before midday.
Declines are retried by themselves
Declined payments are retried by themselves on the 12th. No reminder to write.
Usage is counted down
The session is deducted at the till, the customer sees her balance, and her plan's perk applies by itself.
The end-of-month summary writes itself
One screen at the end of the month: what is secured for April, what is still to be used, and who has stopped their subscription.

The same month of March, and you never step in once
Nothing happens. You hope for a good week, and you check the account before paying the supplier.
The session pass is a card by the till. You try to work out who has one, and sometimes you give away a session too many.
You add up the till and find out the result. For April, you know nothing and start again from scratch.
70 direct debits in one go, 2,890 euros in the account before midday. The 3 declines are retried by themselves on the 12th.
