Workshops and experiences: classes, paint nights, and tours that fill themselves.

Yes — a workshop or experience business (pottery, cooking classes, paint nights, guided tours) can take online bookings and sell tickets at a flat $1 per paid ticket (free events free), manage capacity and waitlists, and run its website, CRM, and newsletter, all from one platform.

The experience is the product, and it lives or dies on filling seats. Running sign-ups through one tool, the website through another, and the follow-up through a third is how a fully-booked night still feels like chaos.

Key takeaways

  • Sell sessions and experiences with online booking, capacity limits, and waitlists.
  • Ticketing at a flat $1 per paid ticket; free or taster events cost nothing.
  • Every guest lands in your CRM and newsletter for the next one.
  • Website, bookings, and email in one place. From $39/month, two months free annually.

How do bookings and capacity work?

Each session has a cap and a waitlist; guests book and pay online; sold-out nights stop selling automatically. The booking, the payment, and the guest record all live together, so the night runs itself.

  • Online booking with capacity and waitlists
  • Payment up front through your own Stripe account
  • Recurring or one-off sessions and private bookings
  • A guest CRM and newsletter

Turn one-time guests into regulars

The paint night was fun; the trick is getting them back. Every guest becomes a contact on your mailing list, so the next workshop is an email you send, not an ad you buy. Free taster events cost nothing and still build the list.

From $39/month. Online booking, flat-$1 paid ticketing, capacity and waitlists, a website, a CRM, and a newsletter — for the workshop that should be full. Two months free annually.
