You must Record Payments to mark the members as paid in Gym Assistant.
There are two strategies for recording ACH payments:
•Wait until you receive any returns before recording the payments (record payments only for payments that were cleared by your bank), or …
•Record all payments now and then reverse any rejected payments later.
