Choose the correct type

Session Types define individual appointments. Class Types define group templates. Settings keeps the two in separate sections, with Session Types above Class Types. Neither is a permanent list of registered clients; bookings belong to actual calendar occurrences.

Session Types define individual appointment names and minutes.

Create a type

  1. Open Settings → Session Types or Class Types and use the creation button.
  2. Enter a unique name and appointment duration.
  3. Set the Drop In Rate. Sessions deduct one matching Session Credit; classes deduct one matching Class Credit.
  4. For groups, add a description. Memberships and packages specify whether they issue Session Credits or Class Credits.
  5. Review the three steps and save.
Class Types also specify the group capacity.

Do not confuse cost and price

Each booking consumes one matching credit, while Drop In Rate applies when no eligible credits remain. Appointment minutes are defined here, not on a package. A group template does not itself enroll clients or charge recurring class fees; use purchased memberships/packages or the applicable one-time drop-in.

Session Cost uses credits; Drop In Rate uses money.
