Yes. Arketa supports spot booking, so riders reserve their exact bike when they book a class. Everyone knows their spot before they arrive, which means no double-bookings and no confusion at the door on a busy spin schedule. ### How do I handle waitlists and no-shows for full classes? Arketa fills full classes and covers no-shows automatically. When a class is full, riders join a waitlist and get pulled in as spots open, and you can set no-show and cancellation fees that charge on their own, so empty bikes get filled and last-minute drops cost you less. ### Can I sell memberships, class packs, and retail through Arketa? Yes. Arketa lets you sell recurring memberships, prepaid class packs, and retail like apparel and water bottles, all in one place. Billing and usage track automatically, so you earn beyond single rides without extra admin. ### Is Arketa a good fit for an indoor cycling or spin studio? Yes. Arketa is built for the way spin and indoor cycling studios run, from bike-specific booking to waitlists, memberships, and fast check-in. It works for a single studio or a growing multi-location brand. ### Can I switch to Arketa from another spin booking platform? Yes. If you're on another spin or studio booking platform, Arketa's team migrates your data over as part of onboarding, so you don't have to rebuild everything yourself. Each studio gets hands-on setup help, not a do-it-yourself import.
