Drop-in pricing

Create a one-time purchase option for individual classes or sessions.

A drop-in lets clients pay for one class at a time. No commitment, no credits — just a single charge per booking. It's your default option for walk-ins, special events, or any class where you want per-session pricing.

Drop-in options

Standard drop-in — client pays once and has access for a single class.

Donation / sliding scale — let clients pay what they want. You can set a minimum if needed. See donation classes.

Connecting to classes

Drop-in pricing only works if it's connected to a service type. When editing a class or service type, select the drop-in pricing option as a valid payment method.

If you want a class to be drop-in only (no packages or memberships), set the class payment type to Drop-in in the class's pricing settings.
