Run mini sessions

Mini sessions are short, themed sessions like Date Night Minis or Holiday Minis. Each one has its own page to share, and can show on your homepage while it has open spots.

Create a mini session

1. Go to Packages > Mini sessions and click New mini session.
2. Fill in the details:
   • Small label, Title and Highlighted word (in your accent color). Together they make the heading, for example "Date Night" and "Minis".
   • Price ($), Deposit ($) (at least $0.50) and Length (min).
   • Button text, Location and One-line summary (shown in booking + pricing).
   • Description and What's included (one item per line).
3. Leave Bookable and visible ticked and click Create mini session.
4. Use Upload photo to add a cover image.

Each mini creates its own package, which starts in a group called Mini Sessions. On the booking page, a mini only offers its own spots, not your general open times.

Add spots

Click Add spots. It opens Availability with the mini chosen, back-to-back mode on and the length filled in. Set the date, first start time and number of spots, then click Add times. See Open up times on Availability.

Share it

Each live mini shows its link and an Open button. The address comes from the name, so renaming the mini changes the link. Share it after you've settled on the name.

Show it on your homepage

• Click Show on homepage or Take off homepage. Several minis can be on at once.
• Use the arrows to set their order.
• A mini only appears once it has open spots. The pill says on homepage once it has open spots until then.
• If the Mini sessions section of your homepage is turned off, a note at the top of the page links to where you turn it on.

Tell your mini session list

If your website has an Email sign-up block set to Mini session list, you can email the people on it about a mini. Once the mini is switched on (Bookable and visible) and has open spots, its card shows Email your mini session list and how many people are on the list. Check the photo and words first, then click it and click again to confirm. The email lists the first few open times and links to the mini's page.

Nothing is sent on its own, even when you add spots. Each mini can be sent once; afterwards the card says when and to how many people. You need your studio's mailing address in Settings > Studio, under Business details, first, as for newsletters. See The website popup.

Waitlist and deleting

When every spot is taken, clients can join the mini's waitlist. See Waitlists.

To delete a mini, click Edit, then Delete this mini session and click again to confirm. If anyone booked it, its package is hidden instead so the history stays.
