Creating a well-structured class is the foundation of your Punchpass schedule. This guide walks you through the process of setting up a new class with all the necessary options and settings.

Creating A New Class

Step 1: Navigate to the Class Management Area

  1. Navigate to Manage > Classes from the Punchpass navigation

  2. Click the Set Up A New Class button at the top of the page

Step 2: Define the Class

Setting

Description

Class name

The name that will appear on both public and admin schedule views

Show on public schedule

Toggle to make this class visible on your public schedule for online reservations

Color

Select a color to visually differentiate class types on your schedule

Class duration

Select an option for the class duration

Class description

Add details about the class that will appear when customers click for more information (highly recommended)

Pro Tip: If you turn off "Show on public schedule," you're creating an unlisted class. You can still manually add customers to the class as an admin, or send a direct invitation link to specific customers. More on that here

Punchpass allows you to define how you prefer to accept reservations for each class.

Setting

Accept reservations

Allow customers to sign up online (admins can always add students manually)

Require an active pass

Next Steps After Creating a Class

Configure Eligible Passes

After creating a class, you should specify which passes can be used to book it:

  1. Navigate to the class settings

  2. Review and adjust the eligible passes (by default, all passes are accepted)


​Add Classes to Your Schedule
