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.
  
• 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.
