A step-by-step guide to switching on bookings.
Step 1: Add event dates and spaces
Add dates
Class dates are essential to take bookings.
Click the three dots (⋮) at the end of your class row and select View.
Under Upcoming Classes, click Add more dates.
Choose your Running Period (Term time, School Holidays, or All year round).
Select the dates or create terms.
Click Save & Continue.
👉 After this step, you’ll be prompted to add or edit prices (see Step 2).
Add spaces
Now tell us how many spaces we can sell on Happity.
Click the three dots (⋮) and select View.
Under Upcoming Classes, click Edit spaces next to the dates.
Enter the number of spaces available.
💡 Tip: To apply the same number to all dates, select Yes, apply to all.
Click Save & Continue.
👉 After this step, you’ll be prompted to add or edit prices (see Step 2).
Step 2: Add prices
Once you save your dates and spaces, you’ll always be taken to the pricing screen:
If no prices exist, you’ll be prompted to create them.
If prices already exist, you’ll be asked to confirm or save your existing price list.
You can set up:
PAYG tickets
Block bookings and term tickets
Sibling discounts
Trial offers
💡 Tickets can be reused across all your classes.
For detailed guidance, see Creating prices and assigning tickets.

What should I include in my T&Cs and Privacy Policy?
Terms & Conditions
Use this document to explain your class policies (refunds, transfers, photos, food in class, etc.)
It doesn't have to be written in complicated legalese - you probably already have these policies in your head! 🙂
For a more detailed guide, see: Terms And Conditions: The Easy Guide For Class Providers.
Privacy Policy
User data in the booking system will be covered by Happity's Privacy Policy. However, this only relates to how Happity stores and uses customer data. It does not tell customers how you use data as a class provider (for example, will you want to print out registers? If so, how long will you keep them and how will they be stored?)
Add a document to state how you intend to access and use this information yourself - even if it's just to say their data will only be stored on Happity and is used for the purpose of planning and providing your classes.
For a more detailed guide, see: The Beginners Guide: Breaking Down What’s In A Privacy Policy.
