Groovio Business App & Tap to Pay

Download the Groovio Business app to manage your studio on the go and take card payments with Tap to Pay.

Written by Jesse McNeil

The Groovio Business app lets you manage your studio from your phone. You can download it from the app stores by searching "Groovio Business".


Downloading the App

Open the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play Store (Android), search for Groovio Business, and install it. Sign in with your usual Groovio studio login.


What You Can Do

From the Business app you can:

  • Take attendance for your classes.

  • Process payments, including Tap to Pay directly from your phone (see below).

  • Check In kiosk mode — students can check themselves in for classes as they arrive, without being able to access any other part of the admin app.

  • Use chats to message your students.

  • Switch studios — staff who teach at more than one Groovio studio can tap their profile picture, then Switch Studio. See Switching Studios as a Staff Member.

…and much more to come!

Lesson plans can't yet be added or viewed in the Business app. To add a lesson plan from your phone, open Groovio in your phone's web browser and log in.


Tap to Pay

Tap to Pay lets you process card payments straight from your phone — the customer simply holds their card (or phone/watch) over your device, with no separate card reader required.

  • Android — Tap to Pay is live.

  • Apple (iPhone) — Tap to Pay is not yet live. We'll let you know as soon as it's available.

Important: Tap to Pay won't work if Developer Options are turned on on your phone. This is a security requirement for card payments. If Tap to Pay won't start, open your phone's Settings, find Developer options (usually under System), and switch it off, then reopen the Business app and try again.
