Packs and monthly passes
A 5-class pack, a 10-class pack, a monthly unlimited pass: set the name, price, number of classes and how many months it lasts.
Class packs that count themselves
Sell packs of classes and monthly passes from your booking page. Each booking takes a class off the right pass, clients see how many they have left, and the paper punch card can go.
Bought online
Clients pay by card on your booking page and the pass is theirs straight away, paid into your own Stripe account.
Used automatically
When a client books, Groopla uses their unlimited pass if they have one, otherwise the pack that expires first.
Expiry dates
Each pass ends a set number of months after it starts, or never. Clients see the date in their account.
Sold at the desk too
Give a client a pass by hand and record whether they paid in cash, by card or by transfer.
Late cancellations
Cancel in time and the class goes back on the pass. Late, and it’s used up, or late cancellations aren’t allowed at all: your choice.
Why sell packs online
A punch card in a drawer or a column in a spreadsheet works until someone asks how many classes they have left, or two teachers mark the same visit. Online packs keep the count for you and let people buy the next one on their phone at eleven at night.
People who have paid for ten classes come back to use them. A pack costs them a little less per class, and gives you money up front and regular visits.
What clients see
Clients sign in with their phone number and a texted code, with no app or password. Their account shows every pass they hold, the classes left and the expiry date, and each booking says which pass paid for it.
- Buy a pack on your booking page, then book with it.
- See classes left and the expiry date at any time.
- Cancel in time and get the class back on the pass, without asking you.
Pricing your packs
Start from what a class costs you to run, set the drop-in price above it, then give packs a discount big enough to notice. The class pricing calculator works out a drop-in, pack and monthly pass price from your costs, and how to price class packs explains the reasoning.
Questions
Which plan includes class packs?
All of them, the Free plan too. Paid plans add no Groopla fee to card payments, only Stripe’s own; on the Free plan Groopla keeps 2% of each online payment.
Can a pack be used for any class?
Yes. A pass covers every class you run, so one pack works across your whole timetable.
Do monthly passes renew by themselves?
You can offer a recurring monthly membership that renews automatically, or a one-off monthly pass that clients buy again when it runs out.
Can I move clients’ remaining classes from another system?
Yes. Create a free pass for the classes someone has left, such as “4 classes carried over”, and give it to them from their client record.
