How quickly can I start taking bookings?

Most organizers are taking real bookings the day they sign up. Initial set-up takes around 10 minutes: add your timetable, set your pricing, and share your booking page link. There's a set-up guide for each vertical (dance, gymnastics, after-school, camps and more).

Can you help me migrate from my current system?

Yes. If you're moving from Classforkids, Bookwhen, Eventbrite, Sawyer, Jumbula or a spreadsheet, we can help import your customers, attendees and active bookings. Book a demo and we'll walk through what your migration looks like.

What are the payment processing fees?

Card payments run through Stripe at standard Stripe rates (around 2.9% + 30¢ in the US; rates vary by country and card type). Pembee doesn't take a cut of your bookings on top - the subscription is flat.

When do I get paid out for the bookings I take?

Stripe pays you directly on a rolling basis - typically every 2-7 days depending on your country. Money never sits with Pembee. It goes straight from your customer's card to your Stripe account to your bank.

Can I offer payment plans or installments?

Yes. Split a term into monthly installments, take a deposit and balance, or run monthly memberships. Failed payments retry automatically and customers get reminder emails, so you're not chasing payments manually.

What support do you offer if I get stuck?

Live chat from inside the app (real humans, not bots), a searchable help center with screenshots and short videos, and a 1:1 onboarding call on the Premium plan. Most questions get a same-day reply.

What is class booking software?

Class booking software lets you publish your timetable online, take bookings and payments from users, and manage attendance, waitlists and communications in one place. It's different from generic scheduling tools because it's built around recurring classes, terms, group and family bookings, and the things class organizers deal with daily - rosters, makeups, drop-ins and waitlists.

How much does class booking software cost?

Pembee starts at $45/month for the Standard plan. Pricing is flat - adding more coaches or admin team doesn't increase your cost. There's a 30-day free trial with no card required.

Can users book for multiple attendees in one transaction?

Yes. Pembee is built for users booking for multiple attendees - families, groups or teams. They create one account, add everyone they book for, and combine any classes in a single checkout. They manage their own bookings, cancellations and payment methods from a self-service portal.

Does Pembee handle waitlists?

Yes. When a class is full, users join a waitlist. When someone cancels, the next person on the list is offered the spot automatically with a hold-time, so spaces don't sit empty. (Waitlists are on the Premium plan.)

Does it work for my niche?

Pembee is used by dance studios, gymnastics clubs, martial arts schools, after-school clubs, forest schools, summer camps, performing arts schools, sports clubs and more. Each vertical has a dedicated set-up guide and template. See all verticals at /solutions.

Built around how classes actually run

Take attendance on your phone: Mark attendance mid-session from your phone or tablet. Pembee auto-flags no-shows and feeds attendance straight into customer reports. No clipboards, no copying numbers into a spreadsheet on Sunday night. Run a roster for one class or twenty back-to-back sessions across multiple venues.
Sell terms, blocks, drop-ins or memberships: Sell a whole term, a half-term, a 6-week block, a session pass or a pay-as-you-go drop-in. Users book once, you bill on the schedule that fits your business. Pro-rated mid-term joining, sibling discounts and family pricing all built in. Take card payments via Stripe plus reconcile cash takings in the same dashboard.
Fill cancellations automatically with waitlists: When a class fills up, users join a waitlist. When someone cancels, the next person on the list is offered the spot automatically with a hold-time - so spaces don't sit empty and you don't sit in the inbox negotiating who gets the slot.
One account, all the bookings, one checkout: Users create one account, add everyone they book for, and combine any classes in a single checkout. They manage their own bookings, cancellations and payment methods from a self-service portal. You stop being WhatsApp support at 9pm.

Built for class organizers

Generic booking tools assume one customer books one appointment. Class organizers don't work that way. You're running 40 weekly sessions for 300 customers across 6 venues, with terms, waitlists, holiday breaks, makeups and pay-as-you-go drop-ins all running at once. Pembee is built for that reality.

Here's how Pembee compares to the generic scheduling software and event ticketing tools class organizers usually try first.
