Frequently Asked Questions
Common operational questions and expert guidance:
How do martial arts dojos and sports clubs publish weekly class timetables?
Using Timetable Templates (tickettemplates.aspx), clubs configure their standard weekly class routine across Monday through Sunday. With one click, the system generates months or entire seasons of recurring class dates and times in seconds.
Can athletes book classes using prepaid 10-class punchcards or monthly memberships?
Yes. SmartBookings supports both casual drop-in pricing, digital 10-class punchcards (Passes.aspx), and automated monthly direct debits (SubAdmin.aspx). Pass holders book class places online for 0.00.
How does the 12-hour class cancellation window protect limited studio mat capacity?
A strict 12-hour cancellation notice window ensures that if an athlete cancels early, their class credit returns to their pass and the spot reopens for a waitlisted student. Late cancellations inside 12 hours forfeit the credit.
Can coaches print daily mat-side attendance registers and view medical disclosures?
Yes. Under Reports > Bookings, coaches can view live rosters on smartphones or print physical run-sheets displaying participant names, emergency telephone numbers, and allergy notes.
How does GoCardless Bacs Direct Debit eliminate churn from expired payment cards?
Direct Debit links directly to the member's bank account (Sort Code and Account Number), meaning mandates remain valid permanently without the 3-5% monthly failure rate caused by expired or lost debit cards.
