Frequently asked questions
Everything about the price, your money, the cancellation policy and your data, in one place. Still stuck? The Help page has a real person behind it.
Getting started
How do I get started with WELX?
Sign up, add your first client, and you're running. There's nothing to set up and nothing to learn: WELX works from the first client you add.
Do I need a card to start?
No. You're only asked for a card near the end of your free trial, and only if you decide to stay.
Is there anything to install?
No. WELX runs in your browser, and you can add it to your phone's home screen like an app. There's nothing to download from an app store, and nothing for your clients to install either.
How long does setup take?
Minutes. Add a client and set your rate once, and WELX prices every session from it, whatever the length.
Pricing & billing
How much is WELX?
£29.99 a month, all in. That includes VAT, unlimited clients and every feature. No setup fee and no per-client charge.
Why £29.99?
It's less than a single coaching session. Stop one unbilled cancellation, or fill one quiet hour in a month, and it's already made you money.
Do you charge per client?
No. £29.99 covers 5 clients or 500. Growing your business shouldn't cost you more.
Is there a contract?
No. It's rolling monthly and you can leave in two taps. No year-long tie-in and no refund runaround.
Is it tax deductible?
Yes. It's a work tool, so it comes off your taxable profit like your insurance and kit, which lowers the real cost. WELX emails your receipts. This isn't tax advice.
Can I cancel any time?
Any time, in two taps, and you can export your data on the way out. No pestering to stay and no hidden catches.
Your money
What cut does WELX take from client payments?
0%. Every pound your clients pay goes through your own Stripe account to your own bank. The £29.99 subscription is the only thing WELX ever charges you.
How do my clients pay me?
By card through their own space in WELX, or in cash the way they already do. They never pay WELX anything.
When do I get paid?
Straight to your own bank. Card payments run through your own Stripe account, so WELX never holds your money.
Do I need a Stripe account?
For card payments, yes, your own, and it's free to set up. If you only take cash you don't need one. You can skip it at the start and add it later.
Does WELX handle VAT invoices?
Yes. Proper invoices are raised and sent for you, with VAT included where it applies.
Can I export my income for my accountant?
Yes. A year's income and sessions export as a CSV, ready for your accountant.
Does WELX help with Making Tax Digital?
WELX keeps every session and payment as clean digital records, and exports a year's income as a CSV your accountant can work from. It doesn't file your Making Tax Digital updates for you, and it isn't HMRC-recognised filing software, but it means your income is organised and digital, not a year of WhatsApp threads, when the rules reach you. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to sole traders with income over £50,000 from April 2026, over £30,000 from April 2027, and over £20,000 from April 2028.
Cancellations & no-shows
Does WELX enforce a cancellation policy?
Yes, and it's on by default. A cancellation inside 24 hours counts as a charged session, held for you, so a late drop-out isn't a free one.
Can I change the cancellation window?
Yes. The default is 24 hours, and you can change it to 48 or 72 hours in the app, whatever suits your work.
What if a cancellation is genuine?
You're always in control. Every single charge can be waived in a tap. WELX holds the line by default, but the final call is yours, every time.
What happens with a no-show?
A no-show is handled the same way as a late cancel: it counts as a charged session unless you waive it.
How do I know what my clients have agreed to?
WELX flags every charge a client hasn't yet agreed to, and keeps a running total across your clients of what's been agreed and what's still outstanding, so nothing slips and you always know where you stand.
Clients & bookings
Is there a limit on how many clients I can have?
No. £29.99 covers unlimited clients.
Can clients book themselves in?
Yes. They book the slots you set, from a link in their own space. There's no app for them to download.
Can I train couples or small groups?
Yes. Couples train from one shared block, and small groups and classes are billed by headcount, like your one-to-ones.
Does WELX sync with my calendar?
Yes, both ways with your own calendar, so your sessions show up where you already look.
Can two clients end up double-booked?
No. WELX won't let two clients land on the same slot.
Do clients get reminders?
Yes. They're nudged before every session, so you're not the one sending texts.
Clubs & facilities
I work at a gym. Can WELX bill the club?
Yes. Cover shifts, club classes and studio splits are logged in a tap and sent to the club as one clean, itemised invoice at month end.
Does club work mix with my own clients?
It sits right beside your own clients' money, itemised, so your whole income adds up in one place.
Switching & your data
Can I switch from another app or a spreadsheet?
Yes. WELX is built to move you over without losing your clients or their history. The Switch page walks through how it works.
Who owns my data?
You do. You can export your clients, sessions and income at any time, and take it with you if you ever leave.
Is my data safe and GDPR compliant?
Yes. WELX is UK-based and GDPR compliant, with a Data Processing Agreement available. Your clients' details are yours, never sold or shared.
Account & support
How do I cancel my account?
In the app, go to Settings, then Manage your plan. It's rolling monthly, so you can stop any month with no tie-in.
How do I get help?
Email support any time and a real person usually replies within one business day. The Help page answers the common questions first.
