A course is not one class. It is twelve of them.

Yes. Setting a course up as a term, skipping holiday weeks, ending the recurrence after a set number of sessions, taking free registrations with a seat cap per session date, publishing one link, embedding your schedule, syncing two ways with Google, Outlook or CalDAV, sending newsletters to the students who follow you and reading your analytics are all on the free plan. Selling seats is free too, up to 25 paid tickets a month per schedule. Lifting that cap, plus class cards and custom checkout questions, is the Pro plan at $5 a month, and Event Schedule charges zero platform fees on payments at any plan level.

Create the course once as a recurring event, pick the night it meets, and give the recurrence an end: after a set number of sessions, or on a closing date. A term that ends after twelve sessions stops on its own instead of repeating until somebody remembers to switch it off. Add date exceptions for the weeks you are off. Repeats can be daily, weekly, every few weeks, or monthly by date or by weekday.

Any platform that gives you a link. Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, YouTube Live, or your own streaming setup. Being straight with you: this is one link field on the course, not an integration, and because the term is one recurring event that link is the same for all twelve sessions, the way a recurring meeting room already is. Event Schedule does not create the meeting, count who is in the room, or record anything. It publishes the sessions, takes the registrations, and puts your link in front of the people who signed up. If each week genuinely needs a different room, those weeks are separate events.

Yes, on the free plan. Set a seat cap on the course and it is counted per session date, so week three filling up does not close week four. When a session is full the register shows no seats left for that date and the sign-up button on that date becomes a waitlist instead. When somebody cancels, the first person waiting for that date is emailed and has twenty-four hours to take the seat before it passes to the next in line. The registration waitlist is free; the same waitlist on a sold-out paid date is a Pro feature.

Yes, on the Pro plan. A class card is a pass, and you choose how it counts: a fixed number of visits, like a ten-visit card, or a membership with unlimited visits until it expires. Set how many days it is valid for from purchase, how many people it admits at each session, whether holders reserve a date in advance or just turn up, and a cancellation deadline with a policy for late cancels. A pass can also be scoped to one sub-schedule, so a beginner card does not open the advanced track.

Yes, and selling is on the free plan: 25 paid tickets a month per schedule, unlimited on Pro. Create as many named ticket types as the course needs, each with its own price and quantity: a drop-in seat, a concession rate, a free trial session. Payments run through your own Stripe account, so you keep everything except Stripe's standard processing fee. Event Schedule takes nothing.

Not automatically, and no page here will tell you otherwise. Students follow your schedule so that you can email them, and you write and send that newsletter yourself: ten recipients a month on the free plan, a hundred on Pro, a thousand on Enterprise. There is one email that is not a newsletter: if your schedule sends through its own email settings, then when you change the course time or cancel it you are asked at the point of saving whether to tell the people already registered, and because a term is one recurring event that goes to everybody holding a seat on an upcoming session, not to one week only.
