Powering seamless fitness experiences with embedded payments at Xoda

Xoda is a leading fitness and health club experience platform built to help operators run smarter, more connected businesses. With a deep belief that fitness businesses play a vital role in their local communities, Xoda’s mission is to empower clubs to deliver outstanding member experiences while creating spaces where people can connect and thrive.

As part of this mission, payment plays a critical role in Xoda’s product strategy. By integrating with Worldpay for Platforms, Xoda has embedded flexible, scalable payment capabilities directly into its ecosystem enabling seamless transactions, greater customer payment options, and supporting long-term, scalable business growth.

Challenge 

For fitness operators, payment is more than just processing transactions. It directly shapes how members engage with their club, how services are charged, how smoothly operations run day to day, and how simple the sign-up experience is. 

Xoda identified a growing need for:

• Greater flexibility in how customers pay
• More seamless, embedded payment experiences
• Scalable infrastructure to support long-term growth
• A partner that could match its commitment to innovation and customer care

In a market where customers expect choice and convenience, Xoda needed a payment solution that could evolve alongside its platform and its customers.

Solution 

Xoda partnered with Worldpay for Platforms to embed payments seamlessly into its fitness management ecosystem, making every transaction smooth, secure, and virtually invisible for gyms and studios.

By integrating directly with Worldpay for Platforms, Xoda now provides its customers with multiple payment methods in one unified system. Fitness operators gain more control over how they charge, engage, and transact with members, reducing friction for staff and creating a smoother member experience from end to end. The result: less operational overhead and more time for owners and teams to focus on delivering exceptional member experiences.

A key advantage of the integration is the robust Direct Debit capability, giving Xoda customers a reliable, flexible recurring payments model that simplifies membership management and supports predictable cash flow.

With dedicated Partnership Success and Technical teams working closely together, Xoda and Worldpay for Platforms continue to develop a market‑leading, deeply integrated payments solution purpose‑built for the fitness sector.

Beyond technology, Worldpay for Platforms delivers Xoda a scalable, future-ready payments infrastructure. Backed by Worldpay’s trusted global brand, strong compliance expertise, and long-standing presence in the health and fitness industry, Xoda can confidently expand its reach while maintaining the reliability and performance its customers depend on.
