How to charge trainers rent for using your space

Open the trainer from Team, fill in Space rental with a flat rent and/or a per-session fee, and select Set up space rental; Levflex invoices them through your Stripe account.

2 min readUpdated November 3, 2026

If independent trainers rent your space, Levflex can bill them for you. You can charge a flat rent every week or month, a fee per session they coached, or both, plus one-off charges. Each ended period becomes one invoice on your Stripe account. Trainers pay by card or US bank account, or set up autopay.

Warning: Per-session fees are counted from blocks assigned to the trainer as Coach. Leaving blocks on No specific coach can result in sessions not being billed. Always assign the trainer to their blocks.

Before you begin#

  • Connect Stripe on Settings → Payments.
  • Give the trainer the Trainer role on Team. Space rental is only for trainers.

Set up space rental#

  1. Go to Team and select the trainer.
  2. Find Space rental.
  3. Enter a Flat rent ($) and choose Every Week or Month, and/or a Per session coached ($) fee.
  4. Set Starts, Days to pay and an optional Agreement (optional) note.
  5. Select Set up space rental.

Add a one-off charge#

Under One-off charge, enter What for (for example Equipment) and Amount ($), then select Add. It goes on the next invoice. Select Create invoice now to bill it straight away.

What it costs#

PaymentStripe fee
Card2.9% + 30¢

How trainers pay#

Trainers see Billing in their dashboard with Outstanding, Open invoices and History. They can select Set up autopay to pay future invoices automatically. Track everything on Payments → Trainer rent.

Common mistakes#

Pausing instead of removing#

Set Status to Paused — no new invoices for a break. Existing invoices still need to be paid.

Recording cash payments wrongly#

For cash or cheques, use Mark paid outside Stripe on the invoice and add a Note such as check #1042.

Setting it up before Stripe#

Without Stripe, you'll be asked to connect your Stripe account to invoice trainers.

Invoices are created automatically after each period ends, and trainers get an email with a payment link.
