Whether you're new or already use the platform, everything lives in one place, so you save on another subscription and the busywork of moving info between tools. ### Easy booking for clients Arketa is built to create a seamless booking experience, with no redirect to another site or a second login. The easier it is to sign up, the fewer people drop off before they pay, so you fill more spots. ### Run it online or in person Host in person, online, or both. You're not limited to who can show up in the room, so you can sell more spots and reach clients anywhere. ### Set your own pricing and schedule Price each offering on its own, separate from packages and memberships, and run it over one session or several days. Charge what it's really worth instead of squeezing it into your class pricing. ## One platform for every kind of experience ### Events Create, manage, and sell tickets to one-time events, pop-ups, and more. Registration and payment are built in, so signing up is easy for clients and you fill more spots. ### Retreats Set up multi-day retreats with itineraries, registration, and payments in one place. Everything lives in Arketa, so you can run one without the usual spreadsheet-and-email scramble. ### Teacher trainings Manage teacher trainings end to end, from enrollment and multi-session scheduling to payments and payment plans. Run the whole program in one place, no separate tools. ### Courses + programs Package multi-week courses, trainings, and challenges into a program clients enroll in, with caps and access windows so you control who joins and for how long.

No. You don't need to be an existing Arketa customer to run events, retreats, or courses. You can sign up for Arketa specifically for these offerings, set them up, and start selling, whether or not you use Arketa for anything else. ### Can I run events, retreats, and courses if I don't have a physical studio? Yes. You can run events, retreats, and courses in Arketa whether you have a physical studio, teach online, or both. Retreats and courses can be hosted in person or virtually with livestream built in, so it works for studio owners and solo or online instructors alike. ### Do I need a separate tool like Eventbrite to sell tickets? No. Arketa lets you create and sell tickets to events right in the same place you manage everything else, so there's no Eventbrite or separate ticketing tool to set up. Clients register and pay without being sent to another site, and your event income shows up in the same reports as the rest of your revenue. ### Can clients pay for a retreat or course over time? Yes. Arketa lets you offer payment plans and deposits on retreats, courses, and other high-ticket offerings, so clients can spread the cost into smaller installments. ### What's the difference between an event, a retreat, and a course in Arketa? In Arketa, an event is a one-time or short session like a workshop or pop-up, a retreat is a multi-day offering with its own itinerary and pricing, and a course is a multi-week program clients enroll in. All three are set up alongside your regular classes, with their own pricing, capacity, and registration.
