Add a Custom Class or Workshop – Vagaro Support

If none of the recommended Vagaro Classes match what your business offers or you want to use a more creative name, you can add a Custom Class or workshop instead. Classes and workshops are set up and scheduled the same way, except that customers attend just one class session, whereas customers attend all sessions in a workshop. You'll still be able to sell them together with Vagaro Classes in a bundle, as a package, and in your memberships.

Note

Your classes will not show on your calendar or on your Vagaro Listing Page until they've been scheduled on your calendar and the service provider allows online booking .

While managing your menu, you can search your classes by entering part or all of a word to see exact and partial matches at the top of the left-side menu, then selecting the one you want to update. Alternatively, press Ctrl +K on a PC, or press Command + K on a Mac to move your cursor to the Search bar.

Prerequisites: This feature is available for all Vagaro businesses.
