# Classes + Appointments > One calendar for classes, appointments, and events. Two-click booking, Apple Pay, and automatic waitlists fill more spots with less work. Canonical: https://www.arketa.com/features/classes-appointments --- ## Classes, appointments, and events in one calendar Two-click booking and Apple Pay get clients signed up in seconds. Cancellations refill from the waitlist on their own, and guest passes let clients bring a friend, so you fill more classes with less effort. [Book a Demo](/book-a-demo) ## Fewer clicks, fuller classes ### Two-click checkout Clients pick their class and check out in two clicks. Your booking page doesn't redirect, so clients stay on your site the whole time. ### Guest passes Members can bring a friend with one click. More guests means more classes fill up, and every guest is another chance to turn a friend into a regular. ### Automated waitlists When a spot opens, the next person on the waitlist gets in automatically. You set the hours it can happen, so no one gets a booking alert at 4am. ### One booking page for classes, appointments, and events - Fill classes with smart schedules, automated waitlists, and easy drop-ins - Book 1:1 appointments and upsell add-ons at checkout to grow revenue - Add a dedicated events widget to your site to handle ticketing and bring in more revenue - Two-click booking on every widget means higher conversion and more completed bookings ### A booking page that feels like your studio - Your colors, fonts, and branding carry through the entire booking process - Clients book without ever leaving your website, with no new windows or pop-ups - You only ask for the information you actually need, so more clients finish booking ## Less busywork, more time to teach _Calendar_ ### One calendar for everything Classes, appointments, and events all sit on one calendar. Switch to a list or a room view when you want. Your whole day is on one screen, without hopping between tools. _Text + in-app chat_ ### Text or chat from the dashboard Text or message a client right from their booking. Every message is saved, so you always know when you reached out and what was said. _Cancel + Notify_ ### Cancel and notify in one click Snow day? Cancel the class and text every client at once. Other software make you do it in two or more steps. ## More ways to fill classes + grow revenue ### Spot booking Clients pick their exact bike, reformer, or mat when they book. Regulars claim their favorite spot every time, and new clients always know where to go. ### Appointment waitlists Most software only does waitlists for classes. Arketa does them for appointments too. When a private slot opens up, your waitlisted client gets it first. ### Recurring appointments Set up a recurring session once, like weekly private training, and Arketa books it automatically going forward. ### Add-ons at checkout Offer extras like towels, water, or a cold plunge at checkout, so bookings can earn a bit more on their own. ### Different booking pages Give each service, like sauna and Pilates, its own booking page, so clients go straight to what they want instead of scrolling through a list. ## Words from Arketa partners > "I just put my Arketa page in my Instagram bio and direct my students to the link.

That shows up in the booking: classes, appointments, and events each get their own dedicated booking page, waitlists fill themselves for both classes and appointments (most software skips appointment waitlists), and everything copy-pastes onto your website without a developer. Every choice came from actually working the desk, not guessing. ### Can I run classes, appointments, and events from one place? Yes. Instead of juggling a class tool, an appointment tool, and a separate events site, Arketa runs all three on one calendar with a dedicated booking page for each. A client booking a class sees a class, a client booking a retreat can grab five tickets in one cart, and everything you book lives in the same dashboard so you're not switching tabs to run your day. ### Does Arketa's booking page work on my existing website? Yes, and you don't need a developer to make it happen. Arketa's booking page copy-pastes onto any website, and you can embed different booking pages on different parts of your site. For example, sauna availability on one page, Pilates on another. It stays in your colors and your fonts the whole way through, so it feels like your studio, not ours. ### How do waitlists work in Arketa? When a spot opens, the next person on the waitlist gets in on their own. You set the hours it can run, so no client wakes up to a 4am booking (we've watched that happen at other studios). Arketa also has waitlists for appointments, which most software doesn't. If a 7pm sauna slot opens up, a waitlisted client can grab it before anyone else. ### What payment methods does the booking page accept? Apple Pay, Google Pay, and every major credit and debit card are built in, so clients check out in two clicks with whatever they already use. You can also choose to pass credit card fees on to clients at checkout or absorb them yourself. Either way, more of every booking stays in your pocket.
