Choose services and products
A stay often includes more than a course. Customers choose from your bookable services and add products from your shop. Services and physical items appear as separate line items in the same cart.
| One shared purchase | What your customers choose |
|---|---|
| Book a kitesurfing course | The course on offer and suitable dates |
| Buy a school shirt | A physical shirt in an available size |
Customers can discover your products while making a booking. Explore your school shop.
Your course.
Your sweatshirt.
Book a group kitesurfing course and buy two sweatshirts in one checkout. Review the course dates, product options and quantities separately.
Book services, buy products
For a course or rental, customers select available dates and provide the required details. For equipment and merchandise, they choose the product and, where applicable, its size, variant or individual unit. Both paths lead to the same cart.
| Bookable services | Physical products |
|---|---|
| Course, private lesson or rental | School shirt, accessories or new equipment |
| Camp, tour, event or accommodation | A selected used board or demo item |
Shuttles, camping pitches and lockers can complement the stay, alongside vouchers and extras. Your configured prices and capacity limits govern the offer. Accommodation management and scheduling covers the operational side of a stay.
Course selection
A group kitesurfing course has been added to the cart with dates, a morning time slot and a VDWS licence extra.
Pay for everything in one checkout
Customers review their services and products in the cart, then complete their purchase and payment in one checkout. Buying a shirt alongside a course follows the same process.
Payment processing remains connected to your school’s transactions. Payments explains supported payment methods; Invoicing covers the document workflows.
Collection or delivery
Choose collection or a delivery option for the two sweatshirts; collection is selected.
Keep things connected after checkout
After checkout, bookings, customer details and school operations stay connected. Your team organises sessions and groups in the Whiteboard. The actual allocation follows your school’s planning process.
Customers can find their bookings, receive information by email and open the relevant customer views in their browser. The app is optional. Customer Experience & App follows the journey to their next session.
Booking confirmed
The confirmation shows a booking reference, announces the confirmation email and links to the customer’s bookings.
Connect your existing website
A new website is optional. Your existing site can link to the booking and purchasing flow. A schedule widget displays the timetable; an individually implemented integration can go further. We agree the right scope for your website.
Website integration and modernisation are additional services. Website Sync connects supported public offer data to your website.
