Set up classes and workshops

Follow these steps to add new or edit your existing classes & workshops in Bookedin! From hosting training events a few times a year, to setting up daily spin classes for your gym, Bookedin helps you stay organized and makes booking a breeze for you team and your clients.

1. Log in to your Bookedin business account (web, iPhone, Android)
2. If you haven't already done so, go to Settings > Scheduling Type and choose Classes/Workshops to activate this feature for free. 
3. Navigate to your calendar and find the date for your class/workshop in your calendar, then tap anywhere there's an available time slot.
   
4. Click Add Class/Workshop
   
5. Now you'll see the Add Session screen. Click Add new class/worksop. 
   
   Note: From here you can also click on your existing classes/workshops to add more sessions. A "session" is any particular instance of a class/workshop. For example you might have a workshop called "December Invitational" with 4 sessions per year.

6. On the Add a class/workshop screen, fill in all of the information. We recommend writing a compelling description and fill in as much detail as possible. This information is displayed on your Online Booking Page. 
   
   
   Type: Choose either Class or Workshop 

   Name: This will display on your public online booking page.

   Description: This will also display on your public Online Booking Page. Write a few sentences about your class/workshop, and everything that's included.

   Category: Optional. If you have a long list of classes & workshops, this can help to organize your Online Booking Page. 

   Duration: Can be 5 minutes up to 24 hours

   Price per class: Optional, but required if you choose to collect online payments.

   Visible to the public: Handy to hide seasonal events, or hide things from online booking if you prefer to book in the clients yourself via the app. 

   Lead time: Make this 0 minutes if you're OK with accepting last minute bookings. Make this longer, (ex. 8 hours) if you prefer clients to book in advance.

   Payment Options: Optional. Adds online payment collection to this class/workshop. Turn on one or both: Pay up front, and/or Pay later. Learn more about setting up online payments with Bookedin here. 
   

7. Once you're done filling in the info, click Add class/workshop to save and move on to the final step...
8. Now you'll see the Add Session screen. Here you'll set the dates and times for your class/workshop. Set a maximum # of attendees, edit the date, add the name of the instructor (optional), and even set up a recurring pattern! Great for weekly training groups or even a short series of educational workshops that end on a specific date. 
   
   
    
9. Click Done - save changes. Now your new class is ready to rock! 
   
   You'll see the class/workshop in your Bookedin calendar, and you can now share your booking page link (Ex "bookedin.com/book/martialartsandcrafts") so that clients can easily book online. Here's an example of what they'll see:
