How to set up your Wellhub CMS integration

Integrating your Club Management System (CMS) with Wellhub is one of the most effective ways to automate processes, reduce manual tasks, and offer a seamless experience for your members. With an active integration, check-ins and bookings can be handled automatically — which means less manual work for your staff and more agility for your clients.

What is a CMS & How integration works

What is a CMS & How integration works

A CMS — or Club Management System — is a tool used to run your gym or studio operations. It typically allows you to manage: 

  • Member Data: Client registration and member profiles.
  • Schedules: Class timetables and real-time availability.
  • Access Control: Physical entry check points like turnstiles, QR codes, or PIN pads.
  • Financial History: Payments, active plans, and general usage history.
 If you already use a system like this to manage your space, integration allows information to flow automatically between your CMS and the Wellhub platform. Once it's active, some processes that were previously manual become automatic — such as check-in validation and schedule syncing — depending on the CMS you use and how your unit is configured.

What is a “Complete Validation”?

What is a “Complete Validation”?

At Wellhub, a complete validation (also called a full handshake) happens when:
 

  • The user checks in via the Wellhub app.
  • The partner confirms the user’s presence (via Portal or CMS).
  • The Wellhub system validates all plan rules.
 This rigorous backend process ensures absolute payment accuracy and provides a significantly more reliable experience for your users.

What types of integration are available?

What types of integration are available?

Depending on your business style and your technical infrastructure, you can choose how your data syncs:  If you use check-in only (access control): Check-ins must be validated within 20 minutes to be eligible for payout. After the user’s first registration, future validations happen automatically via your CMS.  


 If you use bookings only: Classes must be correctly created and synced from your CMS. The check-in button becomes available 30 minutes before the class, and the class must be marked as "Completed" in your system to generate the payout. 
 If you use both check-in + booking: Users must both book and check in via the app. Your CMS must validate both the booking and presence to ensure they are properly matched and finalized.
