If you teach classes like cake or cookie decorating, cooking classes, etc. you’ll want to get to know our Events & Classes feature. Each class you list will appear on your store page and in our Classes & Food Events marketplace. It’s an easy setup but there’s a few tricks to make sure that your event gets maximum exposure.

Create an Event

From your Vendor dashboard select ‘Create Classes and Events’ from the left hand side menu. Select ‘Add New Event’ from the upper right hand corner.

1. Event Name – Provide an event name that is easily recognizable for our website visitors. It’s better to be specific than creative. ‘Cake Decorating Class – Ocean Theme Adventure’ will get more views than ‘High Seas Adventure’. Remember, your class will be seen by your customers that visit your store but can also be found by new customers that don’t yet know you browsing the marketplace.
2. Description – we HIGHLY recommend that you include a description of the class as well as information about your businesses. We also recommend including a link back to your store page to help your customers navigate if they want more information about you.
3. Add an Excerpt – this can be helpful in the marketplace to add a little more detail to your class listing to encourage those browsing to visit your event page.
4. Events Start and End Date
5. Timezone
6. Recurring Event
7. Event Type
8. Categories – as with Products on our site, adding a Category to your Event is critical to help customers find you. It is also required for the Event to show up on your store page.
9. Tags – add tags to help provide more detail about your event

Tip: If you need more categories added please contact the admin and they will create them for you.

Styling Your Class Page

Whenever you create a class on our site it will display on your store page and in our feed and class event marketplaces pages. Without branding your class will blend in and customers may not know that you’re the host of the event. We’ve provided several options to help you style your class page to look just like you.

Branding

After you’ve created your event you can now edit and provide all of the extra details. In the Classes & Events section on your Vendor dashboard click the pencil icon for the event you want to edit.

Under customize select Branding. Upload your class banner image and your shop icon. These will display on the marketplace pages, your store page, and on the class page.

You can also add your social links to provide more ways for customers to follow and connect with you.

Selecting a Template

We’ve provided 3 template options for styling your class page and 2 options for tickets. While editing an event select Template Setup. To select your template hover over the options and click Select. Save your changes. You can use the preview button to see what your class page looks like.

Charging for Your Classes

If students need to pay to attend your class you can add tickets. Tickets allow you to set a price for your class, schedule how long tickets are available for purchase, how many tickets can be sold and descriptions.

RSVP

We have automatically set reminders to go out to class attendees 4 days and 1 day before the event. You can also encourage your customers to use the Add to Calendar functions on your event page so that they won’t forget important details regarding dates, times, and locations.
