Event Subscriptions (Bundles)

How event subscriptions (class passes, including unlimited passes) work: customers pay once, book their first session at checkout, and book the rest later with a personal link

An event subscription (also called a bundle) sells several bookings in one purchase, such as a 6-class pass, or an unlimited pass for a season. The customer books their first session when they buy, then books the rest later with a personal link.

Note:

For new offers, use packages instead. The setup guide no longer offers event subscriptions. Choose Booking package when you create a service. Subscriptions you already have keep working. If you need a new one, contact support.

How many sessions

On an event subscription, open the service and find Event Subscription Settings. Under How many bookings can be made with this subscription?, choose:

  • A specific number of bookings — at least 2.
  • An unlimited number of bookings — for a season pass.

Click Save in the bar at the top of the page.

Each plan can have a limited number of active event subscriptions: Pro 1, Pro Plus 10, Ultimate 25.

Offer one session or a pass on the same product

Give the product two variants:

  1. A Single variant, linked to a normal service.
  2. A Pack of 6 variant, linked to the event subscription, set to 6 bookings.

Use the same number in the variant name and the subscription, so customers know what they are buying.

What customers do

  1. Pick a time for the first session.
  2. See a note that they can book the rest after they buy.
  3. Check out.
  4. Get a confirmation email with a personal link.
  5. Use the link to book each remaining session. It shows your current open times and how many sessions are left.

See subscription bookings

Event subscriptions have a Subscription label on the Dashboard and on their bookings. Open a booking to see how many of its sessions are booked, such as "3 of 6 bookings booked", and a View customer booking page link.

Your reschedule and cancel deadlines apply to subscription bookings too.
