Handbook
Getting started
Create the studio, set the basics, and publish your first class.
Creating your account
Studio vs instructor, the free trial, and what is on from day one.
Sign up from the For Teachers or For Studios page. The sign-up switch offers Student, Instructor, and Studio. Choosing Instructor creates a solo practice — an organization named for you — and choosing Studio names your business. Both land in the same admin panel at /app; the difference is only the default name and how you think about your team. A Student account creates no organization and is for taking classes, not running them.
Every new studio starts a 14-day free trial with every feature on. You do not enter a card to begin. When the trial ends, your page stays up but advanced features pause until you choose a plan.
You can change your studio name, timezone, and address later; nothing here is permanent.
The first settings to set
Timezone, currency, and location, in the order they matter.
Three settings shape everything else, so set them before you publish a schedule:
- 1Settings → Organization: set name, timezone, currency, and locale. The timezone decides how every class time is shown to clients.
- 2Settings → Locations: add each place you teach, with its own address and timezone. A class always belongs to a location.
- 3Catalog → Offerings: create the services you sell — classes, appointments, events, workshops — with duration, capacity, and price.
Currency is fixed per studio for consistency in reporting; you set prices in that currency. Locale changes how dates and money are formatted.
Publishing your first class
From a service to a bookable class on your public page.
- 1Add the class type once in Catalog → Offerings, and turn on its public visibility. It is the reusable definition: duration, capacity, price.
- 2Add it to the week with the Add class button on the Calendar, the Dashboard, or the Front Desk — or on Recurring class templates. Pick an existing class type, or create a new one in the same step.
- 3Give it a location, an instructor, a time, a duration, and a capacity.
- 4Open your public page to confirm it appears, then share the link.
Every screen that schedules has an Add class control, so an instructor can put a class on the calendar from wherever they are. The full recurring builder lives on Recurring class templates.
Until a service is public it is not listed on your page or in discovery, which is useful for preparing something before anyone can book it.
