Studio Management Software in Berlin
EUR-native studio software for Berlin boutiques, 19% MwSt-aware invoices, SEPA Lastschrift for monthly members, your existing Stripe or SumUp setup untouched.
Berlin studios live in an interesting middle ground. Many run lean and cheap, converted Hinterhof spaces in Mitte and Friedrichshain, two instructors, low overheads, monthly memberships at 65-85€. A smaller premium tier in Charlottenburg or near Potsdamer Platz runs more like Paris or London. Both groups share a payment pattern: SEPA Lastschrift for monthly recurring members at near-zero cost, card or Apple Pay for drop-ins, Klarna sometimes for higher-value packages.
Chronix Hub runs every German studio in EUR end to end. Receipts, payroll, invoices, and reports stay in euros. Invoicing supports the 19% MwSt standard rate, the 7% reduced rate where applicable, and the German tax-invoice format your Steuerberater expects, with the USt-IdNr, the legal mentions, and the sequential invoice numbering.
On payments, you keep your stack. Stripe at German rates (1.4% + 25c for European cards). SEPA Lastschrift through GoCardless or Stripe at ~0.30%. SumUp for the front-desk terminal. Klarna for installment-friendly higher-value packages. All of these become labeled payment methods in Chronix Hub so reports group revenue cleanly by channel.

Currency and payment labels in Berlin
EUR end to end. German MwSt is 19% standard rate. Sports services may qualify for the 7% reduced rate in some narrow cases, confirm with your Steuerberater. Invoicing handles either rate.
Tenant-defined payment-method labels you can track in reports: every payment you log gets attached to one of your studio's labels, and reports group revenue by label. These are for record-keeping, not payment rails: Chronix Hub does not process cards or move money on any of these channels.
German MwSt is 19% standard. Some sports activities may attract the 7% reduced rate (this is narrow). Studios above the Kleinunternehmer threshold (€22,000 prior year, €50,000 current year as of 2024) must charge and remit MwSt.
Pricing for Berlin studios
Berlin studios pay roughly 45€/month for the Starter plan (USD $49 under founder pricing). All plans include payroll, POS labels, branded MwSt-compliant invoicing, and the client booking portal.

Composite examples drawn from the Berlin market. None of these are specific real studios — they describe the operational shape Chronix Hub fits well.

How Chronix Hub compares in Berlin
Eversports is the dominant German booking platform but bundles payment processing at locked rates and charges per booking. Mindbody Germany bills in USD and locks Mindbody Payments at 2.9% + 30c. For a Berlin studio collecting most of its membership revenue via SEPA Lastschrift at 0.30%, locking into a card-rate processor for monthly recurring billing is a real ongoing cost. Chronix Hub doesn't bundle processing, your SEPA stays SEPA, your Stripe stays Stripe, and you pay only the software subscription.
Berlin studio software FAQ
Ist Chronix Hub MwSt-konform?
Yes. Invoicing supports the 19% standard MwSt rate and the 7% reduced rate where applicable, with the German tax-invoice structure (USt-IdNr, sequential invoice numbers, vendor and customer details, line-by-line tax breakdown). Chronix Hub is not a bookkeeping system, so you still file MwSt through your Steuerberater, but the underlying receipts are correctly structured.
Does Chronix Hub support SEPA Lastschrift?
Not as a direct integration. SEPA Lastschrift is set up through GoCardless or Stripe in your own account; Chronix Hub records each pulled payment as a labeled payment for reporting. The benefit is the ~0.30% SEPA rate rather than card-level processing fees on monthly memberships.
What about Klarna for higher-value packages?
If you accept Klarna at your checkout or via a payment link, log each Klarna-paid order in Chronix Hub as a 'Klarna' labeled payment. We don't run Klarna integration directly, the installment flow is between your client, Klarna, and your bank.
Gibt es ein deutsches Admin-UI?
Not yet. Admin runs in English. Class names, studio name, and the client portal can use German freely, and PDF invoices are bilingual-friendly. Full German UI localization is on the roadmap.
Wie schlägt sich Chronix Hub gegenüber Eversports?
Eversports has deeper German market integration and stronger marketplace visibility (their public schedule attracts drop-in traffic). Chronix Hub doesn't have that marketplace effect, but it includes payroll, doesn't bundle payment processing at locked rates, and is month-to-month with no setup fee. For an established studio with its own audience, Chronix Hub typically lands cheaper at the all-in cost level.
Will the schedule handle daylight savings?
Yes. Every studio runs in a configured timezone (Europe/Berlin for German studios), and recurring classes shift correctly with the CET/CEST changeover in March and October.
