# A pack that keeps count, class by class.

Palaestral is booking, payments and client-record software for an independent instructor who sells their own time — surf, yoga, running, strength. Sell a class by the place, each person paying for their own, or as a pack your regulars spend as they book. One they cancel early enough for your terms goes back on the pack.

These 5 lessons with Sample Coach never expire and carry no fees.

- **The pack**: Classes a client buys at once and spends as they book, signed in at their own address.
- **A class cancelled in time**: Cancelled 48 hours ahead, which your terms refund in full, so the class goes back on the card. Classes come back whole, rounded down.
- **As a gift**: Any pack can be bought for somebody else, and then its classes never expire and carry no fees.

Sample data. Not a real instructor or client.

- 2 places in the queue for each seat of a full class
- 14 days' warning before a pack's unused classes lapse
- 24 months your note about a client is kept

## What suits yoga

- [Booking](https://palaestral.com/product/booking)

  Each person in a small class books and pays for their own place, so nobody collects money from a friend. A full class takes a queue of 2 places for every seat, and a seat that comes free is held for the next in line.
- [Packs & memberships](https://palaestral.com/product/memberships)

  A pack is spent a class at a time as it is booked, and its holder is told 14 days before unused classes lapse. Any pack can be bought as a gift, and a gift's classes never expire and carry no fees.
- [Studios](https://palaestral.com/product/studios)

  Teach at a studio under the same name and the same page. A larger share for the studio applies only once you accept it, and the studio never sees your notes, your class plans or your payment records.
- [Clients](https://palaestral.com/product/clients)

  Your notes about each client sit beside their bookings, signatures and payments, and a note is kept 24 months from the day you write it.

  Three ways to sell more than one lesson: a pack of lessons used as they are booked, a membership charged monthly, and a weekly place kept until it ends.
- [Gift lessons](https://palaestral.com/learn/gift-lessons)

  Any of your lesson packs can be bought for somebody else: lessons that never expire and carry no fees, used by the person they were sent to.
- [Cancellation terms](https://palaestral.com/learn/cancellation-terms)

  How much comes back when a client cancels, when you call a lesson off, or when conditions do: the terms you set, copied onto each booking when it is sold.

Five steps from a link in your inbox to a page your clients book from.
