Hear what our teachers have to say
As a full-time virtual art instructor, I could not recommend ClassBento more. My business has grown exponentially since I listed my first event on the platform back in 2019. Compared to other platforms, ClassBento offers the most freedom and control over how my business operates. I love that I can set my own pricing; ClassBento gives you the freedom to run your business independently and without the restrictions you’ll notice when listing your classes on other platforms. I look forward to many more years of working and growing together!
The advertising has been wonderful. The set up was super easy. Direct deposit has been a non issue. Great experience working with ClassBento. Have had a lot of new customers.
I like the support and help I get from ClassBento to improve my listings, and the technology that makes my life easier with a comprehensive, easy to use booking system. I also like that I get new customers from ClassBento, many who become repeats or bring large groups!
I like that the site shares all customer information with me and does not try to hide anything. And the commission structure is very fair. Other sites I work with take much more. I would prefer to do all my business through ClassBento.
Also, the booking engine (widget) for my site works great.
Overall the experience is very positive and I also like that ClassBento donates a portion of proceeds to mental health organizations.
ClassBento makes it incredibly easy to share my passion with people around the world. It's a smooth experience to list my class, there are plenty of tips and features for how to increase the chance of people finding my listings, and the automatic system to send participants reminders, reviews are very helpful. It also feels like a company with warmth, whenever I have questions, I can easily get help from a human representative within a business day.
I'd highly recommend ClassBento if you'd like to teach creative classes!
ClassBento has been extremely helpful for our business! Having our experiences listed on their platform has not only helped increase our bookings and introduce new customers to our business, but the booking system itself has made managing our classes so much easier.
We especially love that we can link our ClassBento experiences directly from our own website. This allows customers to discover us in multiple ways while keeping all of our bookings organized in one place, which has been incredibly valuable for our team.
The platform is easy to use, helps us stay organized, and has become an important part of how we manage and grow our workshops. We’re very happy with our experience with ClassBento and appreciate the additional exposure and support it has provided our small business!
There are many things I like... no, love... about ClassBento. The customer service is supreme, the tech support is expedient, the website set-up is easy, and the site maintenance is very user friendly. Choosing to join ClassBento has been one of the best decisions I've made as an entrepreneur.
ClassBento takes care of the admin duties for my business so that I can focus on teaching! What a great help!
I really love my ClassBento growth partner, Shannon. She’s been a huge help to me. I’m not tech savvy, and she’s been amazing with all my questions. She’s super knowledgeable, and is a big part of why I stay with your service. I also think the back end user design is great compared to other platforms
ClassBento is always so responsive; thank you for continouosly improving the platform and adding great features.
I like the fact that ClassBento acts as your partner - trying to support and encourage your business growth!
I like the ease of communicating with the prospective client via the dashboard and once booked, the fact that we can communicate directly with the client; it really creates a personal connection before the event and everyone is always so excited in anticipation. It makes the actual event so much more enjoyable because I feel like talking to friends.
I also like the ease of adding extra participants and charging for other extras, e.g., cold packs or extra chocolate boxes, etc.
Customer service is very responsive and detailed in their responses. I also appreciate the ease with which you can speak with customers, answer inquiries, create invites, etc. I feel like the ClassBento website is intuitive. I've also used the widgets and QR codes for my business website and flyers.
I appreciate how advanced the platform is with technology features and the opportunity for us business owners to grow with the platform

FAQs
Yes, ClassBento is one of the few booking platforms that is an approved partner for Google's Things To Do program.
Our booking platform integrates with Google's Operator Booking Module, which means that if you offer experiences in Google's supported categories (e.g. pottery or cooking classes, tours, etc), and use ClassBento, your Google Business Profile listing will automatically offer these experiences for customers to easily see and book.
We also integrate with Google's Experiences Booking Module, so your experiences will automatically appear as a result on relevant Google searches, that people can then click on to book.
We sync with the Google Things To Do system automatically, which means that when you add or remove experiences, update prices or make other changes, these will be reflected automatically in Google's Operator Booking Module and Experiences Booking Module.
This can help you to get more bookings, easily, at no extra cost.
More details
With ClassBento, you can easily make your classes and experiences stand out, capture and manage individual and group bookings.
We specialise only in classes and experiences, so our functionality and user experience is very intuitive and yet powerful, moreso than other 'general' order capture/management providers who try to cover all types of goods and/or services.
Come join our community of thousands of teachers.
Whether you're a huge franchise or restaurant business, or an individual artist, our platform will help you save time and grow your revenue. We power the bookings for the whole range, from solo artists all the way up to the UK's biggest arts and crafts retailer, Hobbycraft.
Just copy one line of code to your website, and you'll instantly be able to display our widget, and capture orders through our online booking system. You can get a short link to use on social media too.
With ClassBento's online booking and ticketing system, you can easily attract more bookings, capture them easily, and then manage them easily with our class scheduling software.
We're the perfect partner for anyone who teachers art, craft, and cooking classes, workshops or courses.
No other platform has all the features that we have - we are the specialist provider for providers of classes. We are built by teachers, for teachers.
You can easily capture bookings online via open public dates, as well as custom private group events, like corporates, bacheloretteparties, birthdays and other celebrations.
Once you've got that booking, you can easily reschedule, refund, or even charge students.
If you list your classes across multiple platforms, you can easily add any students from those sources, to your ClassBento classes, so that ClassBento can be your one source of truth.
There are way too many other useful features to mention, e.g. you can easily include custom attachments to your pre/post-purchase emails, take advantage of easy waitlisting, custom invoicing, automatically collect reviews, analyse your class and sales data, and much, much more.
Our goal is to eliminate all the unnecessary admin work for you, so that you can focus on your art and/or your business. We even have algorithms to help you with frequently asked questions, to automatically help enquirers and reduce the number of repetitive questions that you may get.
Life is complex enough, so we keep our fees super simple. We just take a percentage of successful bookings. There are no other fees. That's right - no setup, maintenance, integration, listing etc fees.
