Bookedin Launches Class Scheduling for Small Businesses

If you’re a small business owner, you know that running a business is not exactly a walk in the park. It becomes exponentially more difficult if you’re in the line of business that includes classes and workshops, because the admin work doubles. 

Running classes and workshops is rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming. There’s a lot to manage and juggle — from tracking sign-ups and sending reminders to managing cancellations and running the classes. That’s why we’ve built our new Class Scheduling feature! 

And the best part? We created it directly in response to a growing number of customer requests. 

Whether you run a fitness studio, driving school, tutoring sessions, pottery workshops, or coaching programs, Bookedin now makes it simple to organize classes online, reduce last-minute surprises, and keep your schedule under control.

Why Should Class Scheduling Software Matter to You?

As a small business owner, you’re constantly weighing which tools are truly worth your time and money. Now, let’s see if Bookedin can improve your business and make your life easier at the same time. 

Have you ever prepared for a class with five attendees, just to have 10 additional clients show up last minute? How frustrating did it feel? How many times did you have a great signup number, but only a couple of clients showed up for the class? 

Without the right tools, in this line of work, it is easy to: 

• Overbook or under-book a class
• Miss important client details
• Waste time chasing down payments
• Deal with unexpected no-shows that cut into your revenue

The right class scheduling software solves these problems by putting the entire booking process on autopilot. Instead of handling sign-ups manually, you create a class once and let your clients book schedules on their own. They get confirmations and reminders automatically, and you can manage everything from your desktop or phone.

For small businesses, that means less stress, fewer surprises, and more energy to focus on delivering a great class.

Key Features of a Great Class Scheduling Tool

After talking with countless customers, we’ve put together the must-have features that make a class scheduling tool truly effective: one that helps you grow your business while giving back more of your time. 

(And wouldn’t you know it? Bookedin’s class scheduling checks every single box!)

Recurring classes
Set up a session once, and repeat it every week, month, or custom schedule. This feature is perfect for recurring fitness classes, tutoring blocks, or ongoing workshops.

Easy booking on web and mobile
Clients can book from anywhere, at any time. Whether they’re on their laptop at home or scrolling on their phone during lunch, booking a class is always just one click away.

Automatic reminders
Bookedin’s class scheduling feature allows you to send clients up to three reminders per booking, far more than most other scheduling tools. This means fewer no-shows, fewer “Sorry, I forgot” moments, and more reliable attendance.

Cutoff times for sign-ups
Avoid those stressful last-minute surprises by setting a limit on how close to start time clients can book. For example, you can prevent sign-ups within one hour of class time, ensuring you always know exactly who to expect.

Flexible setup
Whether you run only classes, only appointments, or both, Bookedin adapts to your needs. Our hybrid option makes it simple for businesses that offer both one-on-one services and group sessions.

How Bookedin’s Class Scheduling Works

Getting started with class scheduling is quick and straightforward with Bookedin. If you’re brand new to Bookedin, you’ll start by setting up your account. If you already have one, you can skip ahead and jump straight to creating your first class or workshop. And if you are not into reading, we have prepared a full tutorial for you. 

Step 1: Create Your Account

Sign up for a new Bookedin account and enter your business details. Add your name, contact information, and business hours so your schedule is accurate from day one. 

This step is important so you can set clear expectations and boundaries with your customers. Trust us, it will protect your sanity — but don’t just take our word for it. Listen to Eddie, who is casually golfing instead of doing boring admin work.

Step 2: Choose Your Scheduling Type

When prompted, select your scheduling type. Choose between Classes/Workshops, a combo of Classes/Workshops and Appointments, and Appointments only (in which case, why are you reading this?). 

Don’t worry, you can always switch if you decide to add new services.

Step 3: Create Your First Class

You’ll see a sample class in your account to give you an idea of how it works. Simply delete it and create your own. Input the name of your class (e.g., “Yoga for Beginners” or “Bootcamp”) and set the duration. 

You can also add the price if you want to collect payments online and/or you want to avoid awkward payment conversations.

Step 4: Add Class Sessions

Next, set up the specific days and times your class runs. You can make it recurring, like every Tuesday at 6:00 PM. 

Also, you can assign an instructor and set the maximum number of attendees.Then, set advanced booking rules like lead time (to block last-minute signups). 

Repeat this process for each session you want to offer.

Step 5: Customize Your Booking Page

Your booking page is what clients see, so make it feel like yours. Upload your logo, choose a color scheme, and give it a polished look that matches your brand. With just a few clicks, your page is ready to go live!

Step 6: Share Your Booking Link

Finally, share your booking page with clients. Post the link on your website, add it to your social media profiles, or send it directly by email or text. From there, clients can book themselves in seconds — no phone calls, no back-and-forth messages.

Once you start receiving bookings, clients will receive instant confirmations and multiple reminders, while you will get notified of every booking. Your class roster stays up to date automatically, saving you hours of admin work each week.

Benefits for Your Clients

Class scheduling software isn’t just about saving you time, but also making life easier for your clients:

• Convenience: They can book online 24/7 without having to call or text.
• Peace of mind: With multiple reminders, they never forget when a class is happening.
• Transparency: They can see class availability upfront, including how many spots are left.
• Flexibility: If something comes up, they can reschedule or cancel without awkward back-and-forth.

When booking is smooth and stress-free, clients are more likely to sign up for multiple sessions and stick with you long term. Over 90% of users tend to come back if they had a great booking experience.
