Automatic reminders

PAYMENTS Reading time : 4 min Updated July 13, 2026
Paak chases unpaid membership fees on its own: a club-branded email with a link to pay online. You set the pace — or switch it off entirely. Available from Paak One.

How it works

  1. Every day, Paak finds active memberships whose fee is still unpaid.
  2. After a grace period (14 days by default from the membership's creation), the member receives a reminder email.
  3. While the fee stays unpaid, the reminder repeats — at most every 7 days by default.
  4. As soon as the payment is recorded (online or entered manually), the reminders stop.

Every reminder sent shows up in the member's activity history on their contact page — like any other club email.

Tuning the cadence

  1. Open Settings → Payments.
  2. In the Automatic payment reminders card, flip the switch on or off.
  3. Optionally adjust First reminder after (days) and Repeat at most every (days). Leave blank to keep the defaults (14 and 7 days).
  4. Click Save.

What the member receives

  • An email in your club's identity (logo, and custom colors if your plan includes them), in the club's language.
  • The amount due, season and membership type — in your currency (EUR or CHF).
  • A button to their member portal to check their situation and pay online if your club has Mollie connected.
  • A deliberately gentle tone: the email mentions the other payment methods your club accepts and notes that a recent payment can take a moment to be recorded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch reminders off entirely?
Yes — the switch in Settings → Payments turns automatic reminders off for the whole club. You can keep chasing manually from each member's page.
What if I just sent a manual reminder to a member?
Paak notices: a manual reminder pauses the automatic one for 14 days for that member. No double-chasing.
Are free or future memberships chased?
No. Free memberships, memberships fully covered by a discount, and memberships that haven't started yet are never chased.
Does it work without Mollie?
Yes. The reminder email goes out whatever your collection setup. With Mollie connected, the member can pay online from their portal; otherwise the email invites them to settle with the club (bank transfer, cash, cheque).
Why don't I see the settings card?
Automatic reminders are part of Paak One and Paak Pro. On the free plan the card shows an explanatory note — unpaid tracking and manual reminders remain available.
