Keep track of everyone who attends your sessions, and those who can't make it, using the Participants list in your Booking Calendar.
To mark attendance for a class session:
- Go to Booking Calendar in your site's dashboard.
- Click the relevant class in your calendar.

Updating your participants' payment status
Keep track of which members have paid for a session using the Participants list in your Booking Calendar.

Once you mark a member as "Paid", the change cannot be undone.
To update member payment statuses:
- Go to Booking Calendar in your site's dashboard.
- Click the relevant class in your calendar.
- Click Manage.
- Click the Collect Payment drop-down next to the relevant client.
- Choose how you want to charge your client:

Charge card manually
Charge with invoice
Mark as paid
Moving participants from one class session to another
You can move a participant to another session within the same class service at any time. The booking's original status, payment preferences and the associated order remain the same, the client just attends a different session of the class service.
To move a participant from one class session to another:
- Go to Booking Calendar in your site's dashboard.
- Click the relevant class in your calendar.
- Click Manage.
- Click the More Actions icon
next to the relevant client. - Click Reschedule.
- Click to select the relevant date.
- Click to select the relevant session from the list available on that date.
- (Optional) Click the Notify client with an email checkbox to send email confirmation to the client.
- Click Reschedule.
Notes:
- If you offer the class sessions in different locations, you can select the relevant location from the drop-down above the calendar.
- Rescheduling a class session does not affect the payment status. If the session has already been paid for or redeemed (if the client has a pricing plan), the rescheduled session will have the same payment status. If the session is unpaid, you can collect payment or redeem as usual.
