Storefront Photos, Booking Reviews & Equipment Rental on Your Public Site
If you've already turned on public venue booking, class registration, or demo booking, three things just got better: those pages can now show real photos and video, every public request goes through a quick staff review before a parent gets a confirmed email, and — brand new — parents can rent equipment directly from your site too.
All three are available on every plan tier that already has venue booking, class registration, or demo booking — no separate setup, and available for every institute type, not just sports/dance/music.
Photos and video
A parent comparing centres is comparing more than price. Add a photo (and optionally a YouTube link) to:
- Venues — Venues page → edit a venue
- Classes — Classes page → edit a class, in the public-listing section
- Equipment — Equipment page → edit an item
Photos accept PNG, JPG, or WebP up to 2MB. Parents see a photo grid on your booking page, and the video plays inline once they select that item.
Booking reviews
A public booking still confirms the moment payment clears — capacity is enforced in real time, and a paid registration still creates the student record immediately, exactly as before. What's new is a review step layered on top, just for the customer-facing confirmation message.
A public request lands as "Awaiting review" on the relevant staff page — Venue Bookings, Class Registrations, Demo Classes, or Equipment Bookings — with one-click Approve/Reject. On Approve: an existing parent with a portal account gets a push notification, an in-app Updates feed entry, and an email; a brand-new lead gets an email only, since that's the only channel available for them.
Equipment rental (new)
Parents can now request equipment — instruments, sports kits, dance shoes, any gear you lend out — for a date range, the same self-service pattern as venue booking.
- Open an item on the Equipment page, turn on "List publicly for online rental booking", and optionally set a flat rental fee.
- Dates block automatically: an overlapping request is rejected, and a checked-out item blocks all dates until it's marked returned.
- Parents pick dates and pay via your online payment, your payment QR, or at the centre — the same flow as every other public booking.
Where to find your links
Inside the app, every public link — your academy site, demo booking, class registration, venue booking, and equipment rental — is collected in one place: Admissions → Lead Capture Guide, with Copy and WhatsApp-share buttons and a note on exactly where to configure each one.
