Simplo

For Climbing Gyms

Climbing gym booking software with waivers built in

Sell day passes, intro classes, auto-belay sessions, and birthday parties online, and get a legally-binding climbing waiver signed while the climber books. It's one tool in place of a booking app, a separate waiver app, and an email list. No booking fees, ever.

Bring your own Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments. Simplo takes 0% of bookings.

What climbing gym owners are fighting

πŸ“‹

Clipboard waivers at a busy desk

On a Saturday rush, paper waivers and one shared iPad turn into a line out the door. Someone skips the minor section, a parent's signature is missing, or it's last year's form. And good luck finding any of it later.

πŸ”—

Booking and waivers live in two systems

A climber books a belay class in one tool, then has to track down the waiver in another. Plenty show up unsigned. Your desk re-types names between the two and hopes the day-pass count matches the waiver count.

πŸ’Έ

Per-booking fees eat your margin

Day passes and intro classes are thin-margin, high-volume. A platform that skims a percentage of every climber adds up quickly on a busy day, and you're paying it on top of what your card processor already charges.

How Simplo helps your climbing gym

Shaped around how a climbing gym actually runs its desk, from the first-timer in an intro belay class to the regular buying a punch card.

πŸ§—

Book the slot and sign the waiver together

A climber reserves an auto-belay session, an intro-to-lead clinic, or a party lane and signs your waiver in that same checkout. A parent signs for every minor in the group before anyone reaches the desk. They show up ready to climb.

βš–οΈ

Waivers that hold up after a fall

Climbing carries real liability. Every signature is hashed, chained, IP-stamped, and saved as a PDF. If a claim comes, you produce the exact signed waiver with a tamper-evident trail instead of a photo of a clipboard.

πŸ“…

Real capacity for classes and belay bays

Cap an intro belay class at your instructor ratio. Hold auto-belay slots to the number of stations. Let day passes run uncapped. Availability is live, so two parties never claim the same Learn-to-Belay session.

πŸ’³

Your payment processor, zero booking cut

Connect Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments and pull day passes, class fees, and party deposits straight into your own account. We charge one flat monthly price and take no percentage of any booking.

πŸ“£

Turn one-time climbers into regulars

Any waiver signer can opt in (TCPA-compliant) to a marketing list you own and can export. Re-book the day-pass climber, announce a new boulder set, or fill a quiet weekday clinic. No separate email tool to buy.

πŸ›’

Sell where your climbers already are

Drop one JavaScript snippet on your gym's site, or add Simplo from the Shopify App Store or Square Marketplace. Memberships, day passes, and clinics all run through the same booking and waiver flow.

Climbing gym software FAQ

Can climbers book a session and sign the gym waiver in one step?

Yes. A climber picks a time slot, whether that's an intro belay class, an auto-belay session, a day pass, or a party lane, and signs your legally-binding e-signature waiver in the same flow. They arrive booked and signed, so the desk scans them in instead of handing out clipboards.

Is the e-signature waiver actually legally defensible if a climber falls?

Every signature is tamper-evident. It's hashed, chained to the record before it, IP-stamped, time-stamped, and archived as a PDF. If a liability claim lands on your gym, you can pull the exact version that climber signed with a verifiable trail behind it. That holds up a lot better than a stack of paper or a photo on someone's phone.

Does Simplo take a cut of my bookings or day-pass revenue?

No. There are no booking fees and we take 0% of your bookings. You connect your own Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments account and the money lands there directly. You pay one flat monthly price, not a per-climber tax.

Can I market to climbers who only signed a waiver once?

Yes. Any waiver signer can opt in (explicit, TCPA-compliant consent) and become a marketing contact you own and can export. So you can reach the day-pass climber who never came back, fill a quiet Tuesday clinic, or tell people about a fresh route set when they already know your gym.

Simplo puts a booking tool, a standalone waiver app, and a marketing platform into one place, so it's a working alternative to running Peek Pro and Smartwaiver side by side, with no per-booking cut.
