Deep Linking Classes on the Booking Widget & Express Checkout

We offer the ability to create a button or link that enables clients to add a specific class directly to their shopping cart for online purchases on your website. This article will walk you through the setup process.

Things to Know:

• The ability to deep link classes on the booking widget and express checkout page is governed by the "Accessing Website Tools" access control setting.
• To enable online booking for classes, the following steps must be followed:
  • A payment account must be set up to process card payments. If you do not have a payment account, please email processing@mytime.com for help.
  • Your account must be live.
  • Online booking must be enabled. Learn more here 
  • The "Schedule Classes / Events" company setting must be enabled
  • Create your class categories and classes under the Class tab.
    
• Only scheduled classes will be available  in the Auto-Selected Class Session dropdown menu to be added to the widget
• If class sessions are fully booked, they will not appear as options in the Auto-Selected Class Session dropdown menu when configuring class links.
• The Staff Member filter is optional but can be used to filter classes shown in the widget.
