Features

Schedule, capacity and checkout for classes, courses, events and workshops.

Direct payouts, your merchant of record, your list — export any time.

Every price in your own currency and your country’s number format, with a note that tells customers which.

Dates in your country’s order and a 12- or 24-hour clock you choose, on your site, in emails and in your admin.

One payment, a name for every place — including children, each with a record of their own.

Nobody loses a place while their card clears — and you can hold one for someone who rings up.

Customers add places in several sessions, courses and terms and pay once, by card, pass or membership.

Waivers and terms signed online or at the door. Ask your own questions and collect emergency contacts as people book.

Multi-session passes with credits, expiry and balances built in.

Courses and programmes with per-course enrolment.

Sell a run of scheduled sessions together — call it a term, a block or a season — with a place kept in every one, while each session can still be booked on its own.

Age ranges that fit how you run things, each with its own price, on any class, course, event or term.

A lower price for booking early or for the first places sold, ending on a date before the session or after a number of places. Customers see what they’ll pay and until when.

An amount off each place when one booking holds enough people or places, such as 5% off for two or more children. Cancelling part of a group refunds at least the cheapest places, and never keeps back more than the discount.

Priced extras customers add to each place, such as lunch, late pick-up, party bags or extra party guests, with a quantity. Staff see who has what.

Ask each customer a question for every place they book, typed or chosen from your own list, such as which party activity they'd like. The answer stays with that booking, and staff see it on the list of people.

Sell gift cards and vouchers customers can spend on anything you offer.

Full sessions fill themselves from the waitlist when a spot opens.

Automatic session reminders that cut no-shows.

Mark who came and who didn't from your phone at the door, sign people out when they leave, and fix a mark with its history kept.

Customers scan your code on their own phone and check in themselves and the people they booked for. Show it on a tablet or print it.

Take a fixed amount or a percentage to confirm a class or event place — by card at checkout, or by bank transfer where that's set up — with the balance due a set number of days before. Chocka emails a payment link on that date, or you can send one sooner.

Set a fee per minute past a grace period, and staff are offered it pre-filled when they sign someone out late — editable, or waivable. It goes straight on Money owed and is emailed with a payment link and, where you offer bank transfer, your account and a reference.

Your logo and name on your own site — 3 curated themes on the free plan.

Your whole dataset as a ZIP of CSVs, whenever you want it.

Codes you hand out that customers type at checkout for a discount, with an end date, a limit on uses and once per customer.

Let in someone who didn't book, customer or not, hold their places while they pay, and settle it in cash, by bank transfer, or from their pass, membership or gift balance — recorded against who took it. Or let a customer in to pay by bank transfer afterwards, and they're emailed what to pay.

Let customers reserve a place and pay when they arrive, with your own words about not turning up. Unpaid places show on the door list and on Money owed, a transfer that arrives before the day is recorded there, and someone who reserves and doesn't come pays upfront next time until you say otherwise.

Run your business on bank transfers only — no payment provider needed. Everything you sell can be paid for by transfer into your bank account, including memberships. Payment details are shown and emailed, along with reminders of due payments. Reconcile payments with one click to confirm places and issue passes and gift vouchers. Available for a business in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, the euro area, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa.

Recurring revenue for your business, weekly, monthly or yearly: billed by card, or paid by hand by bank transfer or cash with one reference.

Run no-charge events with the same booking engine.

Email everyone booked into a session, just the people who came, or a group of your customers, straight from Chocka.

Every theme, plus your own primary and accent colours.

Your booking site and the emails your customers receive carry your name only.

Fine-grained control over your site's look, contrast-checked.

Bring your team in with their own logins and roles.

See who is running every session by week or month, each person's rostered hours, and swap who runs a session from the same screen.
