FAQs

I have existing vouchers / gift cards. Can they be used via ClassBento's checkout?

Yes, you can easily bulk upload these via CSV into our system. Customers can then redeem these voucher codes in the checkout.

I have existing customers, or I may continue to get customers from other sources. Can I manage them all in one place?

Yes, you can easily view and manage them from your ClassBento dashboard. You can add them yourself individually, or upload them in bulk. All the customers that are in your ClassBento system will automatically receive all your transactional emails to save you time, including class reminders and review requests.

I have many class listings across other websites. How can I manage these all via ClassBento?

Yes, in most cases we can connect to the other websites' APIs to automatically pull over all the class data automatically and ensure that dates stay in sync; and in some cases we can also push order data to your other booking engine.

How our widgets look

"Themed listings" widgets

Keep the custom style of your existing 'listings' page so that the widget blends in seamlessly. Each listing 'image' will take the user to the corresponding ClassBento page. Here's an example: Cooking with Yoshiko

"Simple listings" widgets

Same as the "Themed listings", but use ClassBento's default listing display instead. Here are some examples: Bloomin' Marvellous, Paint For Fun, Old Auction House, Henrietta Skate

"Bookings-only" widgets

Continue to show your classes on their individual pages on your website; you can just capture the bookings (and handle dates and waitlists) with our widget. Here's an example: Work-shop

Gift card / voucher widgets

You can also sell gift cards with our widget, that can be redeemed only on your classes. Here's an example: Work-shop

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 hundreds of teachers.

Whether you're a huge paint and sip or restaurant business, or an individual crafter, 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. Check out some of our partners' websites to see how our widget works:

With ClassBento's online booking and ticketing system, you can easily attract more bookings, capture them easily, and then manage them with ease.

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, hens, 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-class / post-class 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.
