SeshDesk is a session booking platform for activity clubs. Running a club on SeshDesk takes three steps: set up your club (payments, staff, locations, branding); build your sessions (one-off, recurring weekly, block bookings, or subscriptions); share your booking page. Participants book and pay online, attendance is marked digitally, billing runs on autopilot via Stripe.
New clubs connect Stripe for payments in a few minutes, invite coaches and set role-based permissions, add physical or virtual locations, and upload logo and brand colours. Optional custom domain. No monthly fees — SeshDesk charges 2.5% per paid booking, with zero cost for free or fully funded sessions.
Three session models cover every kind of club. One-off sessions run on a single date and accept pay-in-advance bookings. Recurring sessions can be booked date-by-date (pay-per-date), sold as a block of N sessions up front (block booking, optional auto-renew), or offered as a monthly subscription (Course/Series Booking) that bills automatically based on attendance. Absence with notice is free; no-shows are billable.
Every club gets a public booking page — share the link or embed a widget into your existing website. Attendance is marked digitally on any device during the session, reminders send automatically, monthly Stripe billing runs itself, and refunds, transfers, and no-shows are handled from a single dashboard.
Weekly karate or dance classes with termly passes (recurring + block booking). Drop-in yoga studios (recurring + pay-per-date). Subscription dance schools (recurring + monthly subscription, attendance-based billing). Half-term skate camps or one-off workshops (single session + pay-in-advance).
No. SeshDesk has a step-by-step wizard for anyone who prefers manual control. The SeshDesk Assistant is an optional alternative — you describe your club in plain English ("weekly karate class, £60 for 6 sessions") and the assistant generates the configuration for you to review before publishing. Both paths produce the same setup; pick whichever you prefer.
How long does setup take? Most clubs get live in a single session. The wizard walks you through payments, staff, locations, branding, and your first session.
Can I run different session types together? Yes. A club can run weekly recurring classes on one listing, one-off events on another, and accept any payment model on each independently.
What happens when a participant gives notice they can't attend? Marked as Absent (notified) — not billable, does not consume block-booking sessions. No-shows are billable.
How do embed widgets work? Copy a snippet of code from your dashboard and paste into your own website. Bookings flow through your SeshDesk account; participants never leave your site.
Is SeshDesk free to try? Yes. No monthly fees, no setup cost. You only pay 2.5% when participants pay you. Free sessions cost you nothing.
