FAQs

I have existing vouchers / gift cards. Can they be used via ClassBento's checkout?

Yes, you can easily bulk upload these via CSV into our system. Customers can then redeem these voucher codes in the checkout.

Do you support Google Things To Do?

Yes, ClassBento is one of the few booking platforms that is an approved partner for Google's Things To Do program.

Our booking platform integrates with Google's Operator Booking Module, which means that if you offer experiences in Google's supported categories (e.g. pottery or cooking classes, tours, etc), and use ClassBento, your Google Business Profile listing will automatically offer these experiences for customers to easily see and book.

We also integrate with Google's Experiences Booking Module, so your experiences will automatically appear as a result on relevant Google searches, that people can then click on to book.

We sync with the Google Things To Do system automatically, which means that when you add or remove experiences, update prices or make other changes, these will be reflected automatically in Google's Operator Booking Module and Experiences Booking Module.

This can help you to get more bookings, easily, at no extra cost.

I have many class listings across other websites. How can I manage these all via ClassBento?

Yes, in most cases we can connect to the other websites' APIs to automatically pull over all the class data automatically and ensure that dates stay in sync; and in some cases we can also push order data to your other booking engine.

More details

With ClassBento, you can easily make your classes and experiences stand out, capture and manage individual and group bookings.

We specialise only in classes and experiences, so our functionality and user experience is very intuitive and yet powerful, moreso than other 'general' order capture/management providers who try to cover all types of goods and/or services.

Come join our community of thousands of teachers.

Whether you're a huge franchise or restaurant business, or an individual artist, our platform will help you save time and grow your revenue. We power the bookings for the whole range, from solo artists all the way up to the UK's biggest arts and crafts retailer, Hobbycraft.

Just copy one line of code to your website, and you'll instantly be able to display our widget, and capture orders through our online booking system. You can get a short link to use on social media too. Check out some of our partners' websites to see how our widget works:

With ClassBento's online booking and ticketing system, you can easily attract more bookings, capture them easily, and then manage them easily with our class scheduling software.

We're the perfect partner for anyone who teachers art, craft, and cooking classes, workshops or courses.

No other platform has all the features that we have - we are the specialist provider for providers of classes. We are built by teachers, for teachers.

You can easily capture bookings online via open public dates, as well as custom private group events, like corporates, hens, birthdays and other celebrations.

Once you've got that booking, you can easily reschedule, refund, or even charge students.

If you list your classes across multiple platforms, you can easily add any students from those sources, to your ClassBento classes, so that ClassBento can be your one source of truth.

There are way too many other useful features to mention, e.g. you can easily include custom attachments to your pre/post-purchase emails, take advantage of easy waitlisting, custom invoicing, automatically collect reviews, analyse your class and sales data, and much, much more.

Our goal is to eliminate all the unnecessary admin work for you, so that you can focus on your art and/or your business. We even have algorithms to help you with frequently asked questions, to automatically help enquirers and reduce the number of repetitive questions that you may get.

Life is complex enough, so we keep our fees super simple. We just take a percentage of successful bookings. There are no other fees. That's right - no setup, maintenance, integration, listing etc fees.

We are a proudly Australian team, and we want to make the arts more accessible to our communities.

Creative workshops are a great way to gain mindfulness and improve mental wellbeing. We're on a mission to improve the quality of life for all Australians, through our classes. We also donate to Dementia Australia with every paid booking made through our marketplace.

We love to partner up with fellow Aussies. Let's go!
