Event schedule for online classes, tutors and coaches A course is not one class. It is twelve of them.

Yes. Setting a course up as a term, skipping holiday weeks, ending the recurrence after a set number of sessions, taking free registrations with a seat cap per session date, publishing one link, embedding your schedule, syncing two ways with Google, Outlook or CalDAV, sending newsletters to the students who follow you and reading your analytics are all on the free plan. Charging for a seat is not: paid ticket types, plus class cards and custom checkout questions, are the Pro plan at R199 a month, and Event Schedule charges zero platform fees on payments at any plan level.

Create the course once as a recurring event, pick the night it meets, and give the recurrence an end: after a set number of sessions, or on a closing date. A term that ends after twelve sessions stops on its own instead of repeating until somebody remembers to switch it off. Add date exceptions for the weeks you are off. Repeats can be daily, weekly, every few weeks, or monthly by date or by weekday.

Any platform that gives you a link. Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, YouTube Live, or your own streaming setup. Being straight with you: this is one link field on the course, not an integration, and because the term is one recurring event that link is the same for all twelve sessions, the way a recurring meeting room already is. Event Schedule does not create the meeting, count who is in the room, or record anything. It publishes the sessions, takes the registrations, and puts your link in front of the people who signed up. If each week genuinely needs a different room, those weeks are separate events.

Yes, on the free plan. Set a seat cap on the course and it is counted per session date, so week three filling up does not close week four. When a session is full the register shows no seats left for that date and the sign-up button on that date becomes a waitlist instead. When somebody cancels, the first person waiting for that date is emailed and has twenty-four hours to take the seat before it passes to the next in line. The registration waitlist is free; the same waitlist on a sold-out paid date is a Pro feature.

Yes, on the Pro plan. A class card is a pass, and you choose how it counts: a fixed number of visits, like a ten-visit card, or a membership with unlimited visits until it expires. Set how many days it is valid for from purchase, how many people it admits at each session, whether holders reserve a date in advance or just turn up, and a cancellation deadline with a policy for late cancels. A pass can also be scoped to one sub-schedule, so a beginner card does not open the advanced track.

Yes, on the Pro plan, which is what lets a seat carry a price. Create as many named ticket types as the course needs, each with its own price and quantity: a drop-in seat, a concession rate, a free trial session that stays free on any plan. Payments run through your own Stripe or PayPal account, or through Invoice Ninja, a payment link or cash, so you keep everything except the provider's own processing fee. Event Schedule takes nothing.

Some do. A student who left an email address in the sign-up panel on your schedule page and confirmed it gets a digest of the new classes you publish, at most one every 72 hours, outside your newsletter allowance. Pressing Follow on its own sends nothing to an account follower automatically, so a student who did only that hears about a new class through a newsletter you write and send yourself: ten emails a month on the free plan, a hundred on Pro, a thousand on Enterprise, each recipient counting as one. Changes are a separate email. Change the class link and saving asks whether to tell everyone holding a seat on an upcoming session, and cancelling the course tells them as part of cancelling; those reach anyone who left an address on a session's page to hear about it, and registered students too, on eventschedule.com when your schedule sends through its own email settings. A new start time on a term does not trigger that question, because a term is one recurring event, so say it in a newsletter.

Yes, on every plan. Switch on the "Notify me" card, publish the course before you add its tickets, and its page offers "Tell me when tickets go on sale": a student leaves an email address, with no account and no name, and gets one email when seats for that session date go on sale, a reminder 48 hours before it, word if it is cancelled, and any change notice you choose to send. Each session date keeps its own list, unsubscribing deletes the address, and the Tickets panel on the course shows how many people are waiting. To hear about every new course instead, a student signs up in the panel on your schedule page and gets the digest.

Yes, from the Sales page, on Pro. A payment taken through Stripe or PayPal goes back through the provider, in full or in part. A partial refund leaves their seat or class card valid, and only a full refund cancels it and puts the seat back on sale. Payments taken by Invoice Ninja, a payment link or cash are marked as refunded instead, which records the refund without moving any money.
