Which offering types can you offer?
You can offer four offering types: fixed sessions as a single session or series, appointments where clients pick their own time, session blocks, and bookings over a rental period. In Bookicorn, fixed sessions and appointments are included in every plan, blocks need the Block courses add-on, and the rental period needs the Resources add-on. You choose the type when you create an offering, and you set payment methods and booking rules the same way for every type.
- Who it's for
- For studios, schools and instructors with group sessions, private lessons or both: yoga, dance, massage, tutoring, coaching, open studios.
- What you get
- Single sessions with their own details per session, series with a repeat pattern, and appointments with a choice of duration, spots per time slot, start times and buffers.
- What it costs
- Fixed sessions, series and appointments are included in every plan, even the Free plan for €0. Session blocks and rental periods are add-ons you turn on.
Group classes in the calendar, private sessions by message?
- Do you still have a private session open on Thursday?
- Can I book 90 minutes instead of 60?
- And how much would that be?
Group classes can be booked online, everything else runs through messages: looking up open times, explaining duration and price, entering it by hand.
Group classes, series and private sessions are all on the same booking page. With appointments, your clients pick time and duration themselves and see the price right away.
The right offering in three steps
You set the type when you create the offering. After that, the form adapts and only asks what this type needs.
- 1
Choose the type
Fixed sessions, appointments, session block or rental period. You see block and rental period even without the add-on, locked and with the way to the Add-on Store.
- 2
Set the times
Date and time, a repeat pattern, or for appointments an availability profile with your hours per weekday.
- 3
Clients book
Your clients book on your booking page or in the client app. Every booking lands in the calendar, and you get a notification.
What the offering types can do
From a single workshop to a weekly series to a treatment whose time the client picks: every type with its own settings.
All featuresSingle sessions with their own details
Every session can differ from the offering: another time and duration, its own number of spots, a different instructor, a different location or room, and a note.
Recurring series with a pattern
Daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly, on several weekdays or days of the month. The series ends on a date, after a number of sessions or never.
Appointments
In the availability profile you set when you can be booked. Your clients pick a day and start time and only see times that are really open.
Duration choice with a price per duration
Offer 60, 90 or 120 minutes, for example, each duration with its own price, its own credit value and, if you like, its own label.
Several spots per time slot
One after another or several at once: in an open studio, several clients book the same time until all spots are taken.
Back-to-back start times or a grid with buffers
Time slots follow each other without gaps or start on a grid from 10 to 60 minutes. Buffers before and after keep time free for you.
No double bookings
If the instructor is already booked, the time is blocked. With the Occupancy Management add-on, this also applies to the room. If neither is set, Bookicorn points it out to you.
Session block and rental period
Several sessions as a package with one booking through the Block courses add-on, or bookings from day to day for rentals through the Resources add-on.
