Registration by e-mail, material lists on paper?

Many creative course providers spend more time on organization than on their art. Email registrations, manually checking incoming payments and creating material lists by hand - this takes up valuable creative time. Bookicorn takes care of all the course administration so that you can concentrate on the creative side of things.

Whether painting, pottery workshop or sewing course – your offerings are always at their fingertips. The app shows available places in real time, reminds participants of upcoming workshops and enables booking in just a few taps.

At the same time, as a course leader you have full control over your creative programme.

Your Design, Your Creative Studio

Bookicorn adapts seamlessly to your branding and the identity of your creative studio. Choose colours that match your atelier and create a booking interface that reflects your artistic signature. Whether warm earth tones for pottery, vibrant colours for painting or subtle pastels for hand lettering – you decide the look.

From the very first booking, your participants experience a consistent, professional atmosphere that builds trust and anticipation. The booking page integrates harmoniously into your website – with your logo and individual style. This strengthens the recognition of your brand and connects the positive experience with your creative studio.

Zero Commission on Course Bookings

With Bookicorn you keep 100% of your course revenue. No hidden per-booking fees, no commissions and no percentage deductions. Whether you offer an intimate jewellery workshop for 6 people or a large painting course for 30 participants – the full revenue is yours.

Especially for creative courses, where material costs and room hire already eat into your margins, this is a decisive advantage. Many platforms charge 5–15% commission per booking. Instead, you pay a transparent monthly flat rate – regardless of participant or course numbers. This lets you build your creative business sustainably.

Flexible Payment Models for Creative Courses

Creative courses are as diverse as art itself – and payment should be just as flexible. With Bookicorn you freely combine single workshops, course blocks, subscriptions and credit packages. Offer a one-off watercolour course just as easily as an 8-part drawing series or a monthly creative pass.

Payment is processed securely via Stripe with all common methods: credit card, SEPA direct debit, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. You can also record cash payments on site or create vouchers – perfect as a gift idea for creative minds. This way you find the right payment model for every course type and every target group.
