Family Accounts & Billing Sponsors

Family Accounts & Billing Sponsors

Bliply supports linked billing so that one account can pay for another member's subscriptions. There are two ways this works:

Family Members

If your account is linked as a family member under a parent account, all your membership subscription charges are automatically billed to the parent account's payment method. You still have your own full profile, bookings, attendance, and app access — only the billing is shared.

• You can see your billing status on your Profile page — it will show who is paying for your subscription.
• Family member links are set up by your gym — you cannot create or change these yourself.

Billing Sponsors

A billing sponsor is someone who pays for your subscriptions without being your parent account. This is used for corporate sponsorships, partner arrangements, or any other payment-sharing setup.

• If someone is sponsoring your billing, you'll see a Billing Status card on your profile showing who your sponsor is.
• If you are sponsoring someone else, you'll see who you are paying for.
• Billing sponsor links can only be set up or removed by gym administrators.

How Billing Priority Works

When a subscription is charged, the system checks in this order:

1. Parent account — If you are a family member, the parent pays.
2. Billing sponsor — If a sponsor link exists, the sponsor pays.
3. Your own payment method — If neither of the above applies, you pay directly.
