What should I do if I want my students to pay for lessons Monthly? (Switch to Monthly Reserve billing)
Create a Recurring Schedule
If you'd like your student to pay for lessons on a monthly basis, simply make sure your student is set up with a Recurring Schedule. A Recurring Schedule is required for automatic monthly payments to be an option via Monthly Reserve billing.
To ensure your students have a great experience with scheduling and paying for lessons, please be sure to review what this change means with your students:
By giving your student a Recurring Schedule, you are switching from Schedule As You Go (no automatic billing plan) to a Recurring Schedule with Monthly Reserve billing.
If your student has Auto Pay enabled on their account, that means they will be charged automatically for future lessons.
How to create a Recurring Schedule
- Navigate to the Calendar from your Scheduling tab and click Add Event
- Select Private Lesson, then Next to create a new recurring timeslot.
- Enter your lesson details and include the repeating schedule (every week, every 2 weeks, etc).
NOTE: Students on the Schedule As You Go plan still pay for lessons in advance, but we will not create a monthly bill for them since they buy lessons as they need them through their TakeLessons account online.
