With single sessions and drop-in you offer classes that are bookable and payable directly online with no commitment, perfect for new customers and trial sessions.
The lowest barrier for new customers
Not everyone wants to commit to a subscription or a credit package right away. Someone trying your studio for the first time just wants to book a session, pay and attend, without any further commitment. That is exactly what single sessions are for.
With Bookicorn, direct purchase is one of three monetisation options alongside credits and subscriptions. You set an individual price per course, and customers book and pay for that one session directly online, by credit card, SEPA direct debit, Apple Pay or Google Pay via Stripe. Alternatively you enable cash payment or a manual payment method for customers who prefer to pay on site.
The customer instantly receives a booking confirmation, and you see the booking right in your attendance list. No contract, no prior conversation, no follow-up invoices. This simplicity is exactly what makes drop-in sessions the ideal entry point for people who do not know your studio yet.
Single sessions with Bookicorn
Everything for spontaneous single bookings
From setting the price to the payment method: single sessions run entirely automatically without you having to handle a single booking manually.
Individual price per course
Set an individual single-session price for every course, independent of credit packages or subscriptions. This lets you charge different prices for different course types, for example a yoga class and a workshop.
Instant online payment
Customers pay directly at booking via Stripe, by credit card, SEPA direct debit, Apple Pay or Google Pay, depending on what you have enabled in your Stripe account. Alternatively you allow cash payment or a manual payment method on site.
No contract commitment
The customer books exactly one session and takes on no further commitment. No subscription, no minimum credit balance, no automatic renewal. Ideal for anyone who just wants to try your studio out.
Automatic confirmation
After booking, the customer instantly receives an email confirmation with all the session details. You do not need to send anything manually, the booking appears directly in your attendance list and calendar.
Combinable with other booking types
A course with an individual price can also be opened for credits or subscriptions in parallel. That way your customers choose themselves whether to pay once or use a package, without you having to maintain two separate courses.

Frequently asked questions about single sessions
Answers to the most important questions about spontaneous single bookings without a contract.
With a single session the customer pays for that one session and takes on no further commitment. With a credit booking the customer buys a package in advance and redeems individual sessions from it. You can offer both options in parallel for the same course.
