Many studios offer free/community classes as a benefit to the community, and as a way to introduce new riders to the studio. The setup below outlines how to schedule the Class so that customers need not purchase a special series; they need only click on the Class on the schedule to be immediately enrolled.
First, set up a new Class Type for the Community Class in Admin > Scheduling/Retail > Classes > Add Class Type. Give the class a Name, Class Length and Duration then Save Changes.
Next, create a new Series Type: Admin > Scheduling/Retail > Series Type > Add For Free Classes. Name the Series Type, set a description, Select Payment Gateway, and Save Changes.
Creating a Free Series type will automatically generate the Series that will be applied to the customer's account in order to reserve the Free class. The class count will be set to 1 and the price is set to $0. You can go in at any time to edit the booking and purchase options as you would a normal series. You can learn more about Series setup and options by clicking here.
Finally, you will need to add the class to the Scheduler. When adding the class, use the newly created Class Type and only select the newly created Series Type.
Selecting the Free Series Type for any class will make that class Free to anyone who signs up for it. This means the free series described above will also be added to the customer's account. We recommend only selecting the Free Series type you created for classes that are truly free for everyone.
