Scheduling Weekly Private Lessons with PAYG

Set up recurring weekly private lessons with ease using Pay As You Go (PAYG) options in Class Manager

If you’re offering private lessons that customers pay for on a Pay As You Go (PAYG) basis, setting up a recurring weekly schedule is straightforward with Class Manager. Here’s how:

Set Up Payment Method and Private Class

1. Enable debit/credit card payments:
   To allow clients to make payments for each session, start by enabling the debit/credit card payment method. Go here to know how ➡️ Set up your payment method
2. Enable Pay As You Go:
   
   1. Go to Classes > Pay As You Go.
   2. Navigate to the Settings tab.
   3. Toggle the Enable PAYG button to activate.
   4. Since this is for a private lesson, set the Maximum Students Per Lesson to 1. This ensures each session is reserved for one-on-one instructions.
   5. Click Save to apply your PAYG settings.
3. Create a New Class (if you've already created a class, skip to number 4):
   1. Go to Classes > Create Class. Enter essential information, such as the class name, description, venue/room, staff or teacher, etc. Ensure you select Private for the Lesson Format and Capacity to 1. In the Class Frequency section, set the class to Weekly. This enables the class to repeat each week without needing to be re-added manually. For a comprehensive overview, go here ➡️ Creating a class.
   2. After creating the class, navigate to the Pay As You Go tab.
   3. Check the box for Enable Pay As You Go to mark this class for per-session payment. Enter the Price per session. Specify any relevant Tax Rate if applicable.
   4. Save the settings to complete the setup for your PAYG private class.
4. If the class is already created:
   1. Navigate to the class page: Classes > View All > select the season. OR use the Global Search feature to quickly find the class.
   2. Select the class and navigate to Pay As You Go tab.
   3. Check the box for Enable Pay As You Go to mark this class for per-session payment. Enter the Price per session. Specify any relevant Tax Rate if applicable.
   4. Save the settings to complete the setup for your PAYG private class.
