Classes & Scheduling
Collect custom info from attendees at signup
Just need the quick answer?
See the short version in the FAQThe standard signup form collects a name, email, and phone number — but often you need more: allergies for a cooking class, experience level for a workshop, an emergency contact for anything physical. Custom registration fields let you ask exactly what you need, make the important questions required, and read every answer without chasing anyone down.
Add a custom question to your registration form
- Open Settings from your dashboard and choose Registration Form.
- Click Add field and write the question exactly as attendees should see it (for example, 'Any allergies we should know about?').
- Pick the field type: Short Text, Long Text, Dropdown, Checkbox, Email, or Phone. For a Dropdown, add the options attendees choose from.
- Toggle Required on if attendees must answer before they can complete checkout.
- Save. The question now appears on the signup form for your classes.
Customize fields for a single class
- Open the class from your dashboard and click Edit.
- Scroll to the Registration Fields section.
- Turn account-wide questions on or off for just this class, and add class-only questions that don't belong on every form.
- Save. Only this class is affected — your default registration form stays as it is.
View and export responses
- Open the class from your dashboard and scroll to the Attendees list.
- Click any attendee to see their answers alongside their booking details.
- For a spreadsheet, export your attendees to CSV from the Data section in Settings — every custom question becomes its own column.
Questions that earn their place
- Dietary needs or allergies — essential for any class involving food.
- Experience level as a Dropdown (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced) helps you plan the session before anyone arrives.
- 'How did you hear about us?' quietly tells you which marketing is actually working.
- A Checkbox works well for acknowledgements, like 'I understand this class is 18+.'
Good to know
- Full Name, Email, Phone, and Notes are built in — custom questions are added on top of them.
- When one buyer books spots for guests, each guest answers the questions too, so you get complete info for the whole party.
- Save Required for the questions you genuinely can't run the class without — every extra required field adds a little friction at checkout.
- Prefer Dropdowns over free text when the answers are predictable; consistent responses are far easier to scan on a busy roster.
