Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
How does Inpulsd make money if it’s free?
We charge a small payment processing fee (5.9% + $0.30) when your students pay for classes. We don’t charge monthly subscriptions because your software cost shouldn’t eat into your income before you’ve taught a single class. When you succeed, we succeed.
Why is the processing fee higher than Stripe’s standard?
Stripe’s standard rate is 2.9% + $0.30. Our rate is 5.9% + $0.30. The difference (~3%) funds the entire platform: AI class builder, live streaming, music integration, hosting, support, and development. Other platforms charge $259–$699/month PLUS processing fees. We rolled everything into one transparent rate. At $5,000/month revenue, you pay ~$310 total vs $434+ on Mindbody.
What are the exact payment processing fees?
5.9% + $0.30 per domestic transaction. 6.9% + $0.30 for international cards. Powered by Stripe. That’s it. No monthly fees, no hidden charges, no tiers. The rate is published right here, before you sign up.
Is my students’ payment data safe?
All payments are processed by Stripe—the same company trusted by Amazon, Shopify, and Instacart. Your students’ card numbers never touch our servers. Stripe is PCI Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment security.
How do I unlock all features?
Connect your free Stripe account during signup to unlock payments, booking, and every premium feature. Stripe handles identity verification automatically through their Express onboarding—the same process used by Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash. Takes about 5 minutes, and it means every account on Inpulsd is verified and ready to earn.
Do you support international instructors?
Yes. Stripe supports payouts to bank accounts in 46+ countries in local currency. If you’re teaching from Bali, London, or Sydney, you get paid directly to your local bank. Stripe handles all currency conversion automatically.
Can I switch from Mindbody / Vagaro / WellnessLiving?
Yes. Export your client list as a CSV from your current platform, then import it into Inpulsd. Most instructors complete the switch in one afternoon. You can also run both platforms simultaneously during transition—zero risk, zero downtime.
Will I lose my students during the switch?
No. Your students follow YOU, not software. When you import their info, they receive an email: “We’ve upgraded our booking system! Same classes, even easier to book.” One click and they’re on Inpulsd.
I’m locked in a Mindbody contract. What do I do?
Start your free Inpulsd account now. Build your classes, import your client list, get comfortable. When your Mindbody contract ends, you’re already running. No gap, no rush, no stress.
What is Studio Muse?
Studio Muse is your AI creative partner. Tell it what you need (“A 45-minute intermediate mat class focusing on core and flexibility”) and it builds a complete routine with exercises, cues, timing, and transitions. It adapts to who you’re teaching—seniors, beginners, athletes. It’s the creative partner that’s always inspired, never burned out.
What is Open Mat?
Open Mat is our sub-cover tool. When an instructor calls out sick, the studio auto-lists the class for coverage. Qualified instructors in the area see the opening and can claim it instantly. No more group texts, no more scrambling for a sub. Your class stays covered, your students stay happy.
Can I use my own music?
Yes. Connect Spotify or Apple Music and Studio Muse curates BPM-matched playlists synced to your class energy. Use your saved songs or discover new ones from the full catalog.
