Collecting Sign-Ups for Individual Courses

Want participants to browse available slots and sign up for an individual course directly from your website? ActiveNow lets you add a sign-up form that shows your instructors' available times — participants pick a slot and pay a deposit directly at sign-up.

This form is only available if you have enabled individual recurring courses in Settings → General → Additional features, and if online payments are set up and active.

If you offer participants a trial lesson before they commit to a course, you can use the dedicated trial lessons sign-up form instead.

How to add classes so they appear in the form

From the Calendar or Courses tab, click + Add class → Individual course.

For the class to appear in the sign-up form, a few conditions must be met:

1. Do not assign any participant to the class.

2. Add an instructor.

3. Set the class time (day and time).

You can also add other details such as location or price, but these are not required for the class to appear in the form.

Where to find the form and how to configure it

The form can be found in Settings → Sign-ups. All individual classes that meet the above conditions will appear there.

Note: a prepayment is required when signing up through this form.

There are two ways to collect payment:

a) Full course fee

The client pays the amount of the first payment for those classes (depending on the billing method, this may be the price of a single lesson, a monthly fee, an instalment, or the full amount). In the form editor, expand After sign-up and check Online payments during sign-ups.

b) Fixed prepayment

Want clients to pay a different fixed amount? Check the Flat prepayment amount box and enter the amount — it will apply to all individual course sign-ups.

What happens after sign-up?

The signed-up client appears in Pending sign-ups.

After accepting the person, the course start date is automatically set to the date of the next upcoming lesson.
