Realistic situations (on-field coaching)

  • Intro session: €20–€30 deposit to confirm, then balance on the day (or after) depending on your routine.
  • Transformation pack (6–8 weeks): example 12 sessions at €840 → pay in full or in installments to secure commitment.
  • Assessment + program: assessment billed separately, then pack validated once goals are defined (time saved).
  • Duo / small group coaching: one global payment for the group, single receipt (easy to organize).
  • Corporate coaching: link sent by email, PDF receipt available for accounting.
  • Extras (travel, extra session): second payment triggered only if the extra is confirmed.

A simple flow, without friction

  1. Booking: create a deposit request (or full payment) and send it by SMS/email.
  2. Confirmation: the client pays remotely, you receive confirmation and the receipt is generated automatically.
  3. Before the session: depending on your organization, you send the balance (day before / morning) or request it after the session.

Sports coach FAQs

Which deposit is most effective?

A flat amount (€20–€30) works well on sessions. For a pack, 25–40% confirms commitment.

Can I require the balance before the session?

Yes: it is useful if you chain appointments and want to avoid on-site collection.

Installments: for which packs?

Long programs (6–12 sessions), transformation goals, or premium support.

How do I handle a client who reschedules often?

Announce your rules (minimum notice, reschedule). Timestamped payment helps apply the policy.

What if the client does not show up?

The deposit strongly reduces no-shows and clarifies your conditions announced before payment.

Can a duo or group pay together?

Yes: a global amount is enough, with a single receipt.

I have corporate clients: do they get proof?

Yes, a PDF receipt is available after payment.

Field angle — booking confirmed

The real problem for a coach: the last-minute lost slot

As a coach, a late cancellation cannot be "made up": wasted travel, reserved space, gap in the day. With PayLinker, you request an SMS/email deposit at booking: the client confirms the session and you avoid ghost slots.

Two concrete scenarios (with numbers)

  • 1-hour session at €80: €25 deposit at booking, €55 balance paid on the day (before the session) or right after depending on your organization.
  • 12-session pack at €840: pay in full or installment payments (e.g., 3–4 payments) to facilitate commitment over 6–8 weeks.

Assessment, program, follow-up: separate payments if you want

You can separate an initial assessment (tests, measurements, goals), a pack (block of sessions), and extras (nutrition plan, duo session, travel). Each request is tracked and generates an automatic PDF receipt.

Message examples for your members or athletes

  • SMS session: Hello {PRENOM}, to confirm your session on {DATE} at {HEURE}, you will receive a secure payment link to pay the deposit. Thank you — {SIGNATURE}
  • SMS pack: Hello {PRENOM}, to validate your coaching pack ({OFFRE}), you will receive a secure payment link. Thank you — {SIGNATURE}

Sports coach FAQs

  • What deposit should I request? A flat amount (e.g., €20–€30) or a percentage (25–40%) depending on your price and booking lead time.
  • Can I collect the balance before the session? Yes: it is ideal when you have back-to-back appointments and want to avoid on-site collection.
  • What if the client reschedules? Your rules apply (reschedule, notice). Timestamped payment avoids arguments.
  • What are installments for? Packs and long programs: you reduce hesitation while securing your schedule.
  • Receipt for a company / works council? Yes, a PDF receipt is available after payment.
