Styler supports more than 1:1 appointments. Classes & Courses lets you schedule one session for many people — a workshop, a training block, a weekly class, a term-long programme.

Call them whatever you call them
Not everyone runs "courses". You might run workshops, training sessions, classes or programmes — and your customers should see your word, not ours.
Go to Settings, then under Courses, and set your Display Label. Whatever you enter replaces "Courses" everywhere your customers see it — and in the Hub too. The default is Courses.
💡 Worth doing before you create anything. It's a two-second change that stops every customer conversation starting with "well, they call it a course, but…".
How a course is put together
There are two levels, and getting them straight makes everything else obvious:
A course is the whole thing someone signs up to.
Inside it, modules group the sessions, and classes are the individual sessions that appear on your calendar at a date and time.
A one-off workshop is just a course with a single class. A ten-week evening course might have one module with ten classes, or several modules covering different topics.
Managing a course
Open any course and you'll find four tabs:
Overview — its modules and classes.
Attendees — who's enrolled, capacity, and who can book.
Pricing — what it costs.
Settings — title, description, image, colour, and whether it's published.
Draft and published
Courses don't go live the moment you create them. The Published switch on the Settings tab controls that.
Once published, a course will:
appear on your staff members' calendars
be bookable by customers, if booking access is set to Open to all customers
💡 Build it unpublished. Add your modules and classes, set your pricing, check the dates — then publish. Nobody sees a half-finished course, and nothing lands on a staff calendar before you're ready.
You can unpublish at any time, which takes it out of view without deleting anything.
Capacity and who can book
On the Attendees tab you set How many can attend? — the cap on enrolment — and Booking access:
Open to all customers — anyone can book it through your widget or app.
Invite only — it won't be publicly bookable. You add attendees yourself.
Invite only is useful for a course you're running for a specific group, a corporate booking, or a returning cohort you've already got a list for. It also lets you publish a course — so it appears on staff calendars — without it being open for public booking.
Remember to click Set after changing either.
Running the same course again
Use Duplicate rather than rebuilding it. It copies the structure so you only need to change the dates — which is most of the work when you run the same programme each term.
How it looks to customers
On the Settings tab you can set a Course Image and a Course Colour. The colour is used for branding on your widget and app, and identifies the course on your calendar — helpful when you're running several at once.
FAQs
❓ Can someone book a single class rather than the whole course?
Enrolment is at course level — people sign up to the course, not to individual classes. If you want sessions bookable separately, set each one up as its own course with a single class.
❓ What happens when a course is full?
Once enrolment reaches your capacity it stops being bookable. You can raise the capacity on the Attendees tab if you decide to take more.
❓ Do attendees get a confirmation?
Yes — enrolling sends a Course Enrollment Confirmation, and you get a New Course Enrollment notification. See every email Styler sends.
❓ Can I take a deposit instead of full payment?
Yes. Courses have their own payment settings, separate from service tier deposits.
