How does Cleo Pay help yoga studios with instructor payments?

Cleo Pay lets yoga studios pay instructors via ACH (standard 3-5 days or fast 1-2 days), track every payment in one dashboard, and automate year-end 1099 filing. Studios can onboard a new instructor in under 15 minutes using a simple invite link.

Does Cleo Pay handle 1099 compliance for yoga and fitness instructors?

Yes. Cleo Pay collects W-9 information at instructor onboarding, tracks cumulative payments against the $600 IRS threshold, and prepares 1099 forms at year-end. Studio owners never need to manually manage tax compliance for their instructors.

How quickly can a yoga studio onboard a new instructor on Cleo Pay?

Instructors can be fully onboarded in under 15 minutes. You send an invite link, the instructor enters their tax info and connects a bank account via Plaid, and they are immediately ready to receive ACH payments.

Can Cleo Pay manage payments across multiple studio locations?

Yes. Cleo Pay supports multiple business locations under a single login. Each location has its own vendor list, payment history, and reporting, all fully isolated from one another.

What payment methods does Cleo Pay support for yoga instructors?

Cleo Pay supports ACH bank transfers with standard (3-5 business days) or fast (1-2 business days) options. Payments can be scheduled in advance or sent immediately from the dashboard.

Is Cleo Pay right for small yoga studios with only a few instructors?

Yes. Cleo Pay is designed for lean teams with no accounting background required. Whether you have 2 instructors or 30, the dashboard gives you full visibility into every payment, invoice, and compliance requirement.
