What Is A Free Trial And How Does It Work?
A free trial allows children who are new to attend one or two classes as a trial without paying. This can become a full booking if the child will continue with the activity.
There are two types of free trials:
Completely free - customer will not be paying at all for the trial lessons
No obligation free trial - customer will be charged for the trials if the child continues with the activity
As the provider, you can configure the following:
What type of trial you would like to offer
Whether the activity offers one or two trial sessions
The maximum number of trial attendees that can be present in a class
