Workshop classes and capacity
Run classes with a fixed number of spots, a waitlist, and automatic reminders.
Last updated 2 September 2026
Workshop classes are bookings with a capacity: a maintenance night, a wheel-building class, a beginner's session. Customers book a spot, the class fills, and Velobook handles reminders and the waitlist.
Create a class
- 1Open Catalogue → Workshops and add a class.

- 4Save and share the link, or let customers find it on your shop page.
Capacity and the waitlist
- Spots count down as customers book. When the class is full, it stops taking bookings.
- Customers can join a waitlist once a class is full.
- If a spot frees up, promote someone from the waitlist with one click from the session view. They are notified.
Reminders
Everyone booked gets automatic reminders a week before and 24 hours before. See reminders: email and SMS.
Paid spots are held
A paid spot that goes unused is not refunded automatically: it was held for them. A cancellation that frees the spot lets the next person on the waitlist take it.
