Payment options for classes

Payment options for classes

I own a fitness studio and we *want* to use square but we need to have the same payment options as we have for services- I need my students to be able to sign up online but have the option to pay in person with a gift card, cash, or card, and I need the ability to give discounts/coupons. 

Right now the ONLY way to let people sign up and pay in person is to set the class fee to $0. If I set the class fee to $10 then it requires them to pay online and gives me no option to discount anything for anyone and no option for cash paying customers. 

The lack of functionality is causing me to explore other studio management options but I really would prefer to stick with Square if these things get fixed.

YES! THIS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I want to use square because it is simple and the reporting is nice, but the inability to give discounts or have students pay cash (if they sign themselves up online) is a huge issue.

For classes, we take a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold the spot and require the balance 48 hours before the program.  Invoices allows this sort of payment schedule.  If classes could take scheduled deposits/payments, that would clear a hurdle for us using it.

This is exactly what I am in need of for my business structure too as I only host classes. I would love the ability for clients to book any class online to reserve their spot and either set it up to pay in person or charge their card after the class if they actually attended. Also, having an unlimited monthly class option where they can purchase one bundled package and sign up for as many classes as they want without being charged for each individual class.
