Products are packages that customers buy to book classes. Each product gives customers a certain number of class credits. You can add products to customer accounts and manage their credits.
Understanding Products and Credits#
What is a Product?#
A product is the offer a customer bought. It defines:
- What access they bought - class credits, a membership, or another offer
- Which classes it can be used on - only the classes linked to that product
- The purchase price at the time they bought - useful for support and historical reporting
- The product name - what the package is called
What are Credits?#
Credits are like tokens that customers use to book classes:
- 1 credit = 1 class booking (usually)
- Credits have expiration dates
- Customers use credits when they book classes
- Credits return if customers cancel (depending on your policy)
Examples of Products#
- Single Class - 1 credit, no expiration
- 10-Class Pack - 10 credits, expires in 3 months
- Monthly Unlimited - 30 credits, expires in 1 month
- New Student Special - 3 credits, expires in 2 weeks

- Pending - Payment still processing (gray)
- Failed - Payment didn't work (red)

How to Add Products to Customers#
When to Add Products#
- Customer paid outside the system (cash, check)

- Compensate for class issues
Steps to Add a Product#
- Go to the customer's detail page

Important Notes About Adding Products#
- Always write a clear note explaining why
- Choose the right expiration date
- Don't add duplicate products by mistake
- Make sure the customer actually paid or deserves the credits
Check class coverage before helping a customer#
For class products, a customer can only use their pass on the classes linked to that product.
How to check it#
- Open Admin > Products
- Open the product the customer owns
- Review the Connected Classes section
- Confirm the class they are trying to book is listed there
How to fix it#
- Use Link All when the pass should cover your full active class schedule
- Use Pick More when the pass should only cover selected classes
- Avoid creating a duplicate product just to change the price or fix class coverage
If you need to reprice the offer, edit the existing product. If the offer itself is changing, use the replace flow instead of manually cloning the product.
