Paris studios run on European Direct Debit, not on monthly card charges. The standard pattern for a yoga or pilates membership in the 11e or 16e is SEPA prélèvement, automatic monthly pull from the member's IBAN at near-zero cost, far cheaper than card processing. Most American-built studio platforms either don't understand SEPA or treat it as an afterthought.

Chronix Hub runs every French studio in EUR end to end. Receipts, payroll, invoices, and reports stay in euros. Invoicing supports the 20% TVA standard rate, the 5.5% reduced rate where applicable, and the French tax-invoice format your accountant expects. The TVA number, the SIRET, and the legal mentions all live on the PDF.

On payments, you keep what you already use. Stripe at French rates (1.4% + 25c for European cards). SumUp at the small-business rate. GoCardless or Stripe for SEPA Direct Debit at roughly 0.30%, the cheapest membership-collection mechanism Paris studios have. Cash, chèques vacances (ANCV), and bank transfers all become labeled payment methods so reports group revenue cleanly by channel.

Currency and payment labels in Paris

EUR end to end. French TVA is 20% standard rate. Sports and fitness services may qualify for the 5.5% reduced rate in some narrow cases, talk to your accountant. Invoicing handles either rate cleanly.

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.

French TVA is 20% standard. Some sports activities may attract the 5.5% reduced rate; this is narrow and best confirmed with your accountant. Studios above the auto-entrepreneur turnover threshold (€36,800 for services in 2024) must register for TVA.

Pricing for Paris studios

Paris studios pay roughly 45€/month for the Starter plan (USD $49 under founder pricing). All plans include payroll, POS labels, branded TVA-compliant invoicing, and the client booking portal.

Studios in Paris that fit this shape

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

Le Marais · Vinyasa yoga

A vinyasa yoga studio in Le Marais

Two rooms, six instructors, dense weekday-evening schedule, mostly monthly unlimited memberships collected by SEPA Direct Debit. Drop-ins from tourists paid by card at the front desk.

A reformer pilates studio in the 16e

Eight reformers, four instructors, premium pricing aimed at a steady local clientele. Heavy 10-pack sales with TVA-inclusive pricing on the invoice.

How Chronix Hub compares in Paris

Mindbody is dominant in France but bills in USD and locks card processing through Mindbody Payments at 2.9% + 30c, terrible for a market where SEPA at 0.30% is the dominant collection mechanism. Glofox is similar. Chronix Hub doesn't bundle a processor: your SEPA Direct Debit at 0.30% stays exactly as it is, your Stripe at French rates stays exactly as it is, and you pay only the software subscription on top.

Paris studio software FAQ

Est-ce que Chronix Hub gère la TVA française?

Yes. Invoicing supports the 20% standard TVA rate and the 5.5% reduced rate where applicable, with TVA-inclusive or TVA-exclusive line items, your TVA number and SIRET on the PDF, and the standard French tax-invoice structure. Chronix Hub is not a bookkeeping system, so you still file TVA through your accountant, but the underlying receipts and invoices are correctly structured.

Does Chronix Hub support SEPA Direct Debit?

Not as a direct integration. SEPA Direct Debit 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 that you keep the ~0.30% SEPA rate rather than paying card-level processing fees on monthly memberships.

Can we accept Chèques Vacances (ANCV)?

Yes, as a payment method label. Chronix Hub doesn't process Chèques Vacances directly, you redeem them through your ANCV agreement, but you can log every ANCV redemption as a labeled payment in Chronix Hub so reports group revenue cleanly.

Is there a French admin UI?

Not yet. Admin runs in English. Class names, studio name, and the client portal can use French freely, and PDF invoices are bilingual-friendly. Full French UI localization is on the roadmap.

Comment Chronix Hub se compare-t-il à Resamania ou à Deciplus?

Resamania and Deciplus are French-language platforms with deeper French banking integrations than Chronix Hub today. The trade-off: their pricing is higher and they typically lock you into longer contracts. Chronix Hub is month-to-month, half the price for a single-location studio, and matches their core scheduling + payroll capabilities, but the admin UI is English-first today.

Will the schedule handle daylight savings?

Yes. Every studio runs in a configured timezone (Europe/Paris for French studios), and recurring classes shift correctly with the CET/CEST changeover in March and October.
