Built for Climbing & Adventure Centres
Climbing gym software for waivers, day passes, and memberships
Cultcha is the all-in-one point of sale and membership platform built for bouldering and climbing centres. Digital waivers, day passes, check-in, billing, and your pro shop in a single system.
Why Cultcha for climbing gyms
Every feature your centre needs to run safely and efficiently, all without stitching together a dozen different tools.
Digital liability waivers
Collect signed waivers before anyone touches the wall. Waivers are stored against each customer profile with expiry reminders, so you always have current paperwork on file.
Day passes & timed entry
Sell casual day passes and general-entry timed passes online or at the desk. Climbers redeem them by scanning a QR code on arrival, no manual sign-in sheet required.
Memberships & prepaid packs
Set up recurring memberships with automatic Stripe billing, or sell prepaid 5-packs and 10-packs for regulars. Credits are tracked per climber and deducted automatically at check-in.
QR check-in
Members and pass holders scan a QR code to check in instantly. Track who is on the floor, monitor peak hours, and keep entry moving during the after-work rush.
Group & party bookings
Take bookings for birthday parties, school groups, and corporate sessions with capacity limits enforced in real time. Collect waivers from every attendee up front.
Induction & belay forms
Capture belay certifications, induction sign-offs, and skills checks with custom forms attached to your products. Responses are stored against each climber for easy reference.

The door is the hard part
A climbing gym’s busiest ten minutes are the ones where a dozen people arrive at once: some are members, some are casuals, some have a punch pass, one is a first-timer who has not signed a waiver, and two are under sixteen and need a guardian to sign for them.
Cultcha is built around that queue. A waiver is signed once on a phone — by the climber, or by a parent for their children — and stored with an expiry you choose. Check-in is a QR scan or a surname, day passes and punch packs redeem themselves, and the screen tells staff who still needs something before they climb.
Behind the door it is one system: memberships that bill and pause on their own schedule, an induction or belay check recorded against the climber, gear hire and chalk on the same till, and a birthday party or school group booked as a package with a deposit and a headcount.
Bouldering, ropes, and the rest of the building
Rope and lead centres
Belay certification and induction status recorded against the climber, checked at check-in rather than remembered by staff.
Youth squads and coaching programs
Multi-week squads sold as one enrolment with a register per session, guardians attached to each child, and term or monthly billing.
Parties, groups and schools
Packages with headcounts, gear hire and instructors, paid by deposit online or invoiced to a school, sitting in the same calendar as everything else.

Frequently asked questions
Does Cultcha collect digital liability waivers for climbing?
Yes. You can require a signed digital waiver before anyone enters, including every attendee on a group or party booking. Waivers are stored against each customer profile and you can set expiry reminders so paperwork never lapses.
Can I sell day passes and general-entry timed passes?
Yes. Sell casual day passes and timed general-entry passes online or at the front desk. Climbers redeem them by scanning a QR code on arrival, and prepaid pack credits are deducted automatically at check-in.
How do I handle birthday parties and group bookings?
Take group and party bookings with real-time capacity limits, collect a waiver from each attendee, and attach induction or belay forms where needed. Everything is managed alongside your passes and memberships in one place.
Can I run my pro shop through Cultcha too?
Yes. Sell shoes, chalk, brushes, and apparel with full inventory tracking, and take payment through your own connected Stripe account, with tap, chip, and contactless in person at Stripe’s standard rates.
Can parents sign a waiver for their children?
Yes. A guardian signs once for each child on their account, and the children are carried as dependents — so a family arriving together checks in together, with every waiver already on file.
How long do waivers last?
As long as you decide. Set an expiry, and the app reminds climbers before it lapses and flags an expired one at the door rather than after they have climbed.
Can we record inductions and belay checks?
Yes — as a tag or record against the climber, visible at check-in, so staff know who has been signed off without asking around.
Do punch passes and day passes work at the door?
Yes. A ten-visit pass redeems automatically when the climber checks in, and the remaining visits are in their app. Day passes are sold at the counter or online in advance.
Can we hire out shoes and gear?
Yes — as products on the same sale, with stock counted, so a pair of rental shoes goes through the same transaction as the entry.
What about group bookings and schools?
Sell a package with a headcount, add gear and instructors, take a deposit online, and invoice the balance. The session shows in the calendar with its own capacity so the wall is never overbooked.
