If you run a health and wellness spa, choosing the right business management software and payment processor is critical for scheduling, payments, client retention, and compliance. While Meevo is a well-known platform in the spa industry, it does not support businesses that offer GLP-1 weight loss treatments or other high-risk services that require additional compliance and payment processing capabilities. For spas in the medical aesthetics space or those that want to future-proof their operations, this limitation can be costly.
Fortunately, Corepay offers a solution that allows spas to keep their preferred scheduling and management tools while providing secure, compliant payment processing for GLP-1 and other regulated treatments. Below, we compare Corepay and Meevo, and explain why choosing Corepay keeps your spa protected and profitable.

Why Look Beyond Meevo?
Meevo offers strong core features such as appointment booking, POS, and marketing tools, but it is primarily designed for lower-risk beauty and wellness businesses. This results in:
- No support for GLP-1 or prescription treatments
- Limited flexibility for high-risk merchants
- Risk of account freezes if services expand into regulated treatments
For medical spas, wellness clinics, and aesthetic practices, these restrictions can limit growth potential.

Compliance Without Service Interruptions
Corepay works with your existing or preferred spa management software so you do not need to sacrifice operational tools to get payment approval. By separating payment processing from software like Meevo, you avoid service disruptions and maintain full control over your payment environment.
Scalable Solutions for Growing Spas
Whether you operate a single-location med spa or a multi-location wellness franchise, Corepay offers payment infrastructure that scales with your business. As you add new treatments or enter new markets, your payment processing will remain compliant and functional.
Chargeback Prevention and Protection
In high-risk industries like medical aesthetics, chargebacks can significantly impact revenue and merchant account standing. Corepay provides proactive tools for preventing disputes, as well as expert assistance in managing and winning chargeback cases.
The Bottom Line
Meevo is a strong option for many spas, but its lack of support for GLP-1 and other high-risk services makes it unsuitable for medical aesthetics practices looking to expand. Corepay fills that gap by offering secure, compliant payment processing that works alongside your preferred management software, giving you the best of both worlds.
If your spa is ready to scale with GLP-1 treatments, peptide therapy, or other regulated services, Corepay can help you process payments without interruptions while keeping compliance at the forefront.
