Invite your students to the app. Click on the ‘invite students / parents’ from the side menu. If you have created public classes, your students will be able to view then and enroll for their desired classes. Students enroll for classes by paying for them as per the payment plan you have set up. Students will not be able to see the private classes you have created. Once they have joined the app using your invite link, you can add them to your classes by clicking on the ‘private link’ tab next to the class name under your calendar.
Exactly what the names suggest. Public classes are visible to all your students, they choose the class which they want to enroll for. Mark a class as public when you are fine with students joining any class of their choice. With private classes on the other hand, you control which class a student joins. You can use this option, for example, when you wish students to join a particular class only, or if you offer one-on-one classes or you are creating a special / extra classes for specific students only.
Use our Set Up Wizard to complete the set up process in a step by step manner. Add class, payment plan, publish, invite students all at one go – quickly and systematically.
The Set Up Wizard shall help you create a basic class and a corresponding payment plan (class fees) where you collect the entire fees upfront, prior to starting the class. However, if you collect your fees on a recurring basis or over the period of the course; or if you would like to explore a few more options, like setting up a payment plan that applies to multiple classes or to offer class bundles to your students, use the ‘add class’ or ‘add plan’ features.
You are in charge of adding students to private classes. You may add as many or as few students as you wish to. For public classes, once your desired number of students have enrolled, just unpublish the payment plan for the class. No more students will be able to join the class.
Yes! You follow exactly the same steps as setting up regular classes. Set up your workshop / class and payment plan, link the two and publish (or simply use our Set Up Wizard). Then either invite students to the app or add them to the workshop as drop in students.

Students enroll for classes by paying for them. Classes are updated on their calendar and class joining details are visible only after classes are paid for. However, they can opt to pay you offline. You can enable this option when creating a payment plan. If a student chooses to pay you offline, you will receive a notification to approve the request. Once you do, the student shall be deemed to have enrolled for the class and their calendar updated. You will have a record of all offline payment requests approved, for easy tracking.
