Keep WordPress. Hand off the booking.
A booking plugin on WordPress means hosting, a yearly license, often another extension or two, and updates you run yourself. FullClass is one monthly price with every feature on every plan, no cut of your sales, and your own Stripe or Square account. It sits inside any WordPress page.
For: cooking schools, art studios and workshop businesses with a WordPress site, using or weighing WooCommerce Bookings, FooEvents, Amelia or Bookly.
What each one costs a class business.
WooCommerce itself is free and takes no share of your revenue. Its own cost guide puts hosting at $25 to $350 a month for most stores, and paid extensions at $29 to $299 a year each. The booking plugin is one of those costs, and the plan that has the class features is not always the cheapest one.

Why these four. WooCommerce Bookings is WooCommerce's own booking extension, and FooEvents sells class and event tickets through the WooCommerce checkout. Amelia and Bookly are booking plugins that don't need WooCommerce, and both sell group bookings or events on their higher plans.
Add it up before you decide.
Say you sell your classes through WooCommerce Bookings and want the automated reminders and follow-ups Woo pairs it with. That is $249 for Bookings and $159 for AutomateWoo, or $408 a year, before hosting. FullClass Starter covers 600 spots a month for $20 a month, or $200 paid yearly, with reminders, waivers, waitlists, gift cards and class passes included.
What changes when booking moves off your server.
- Nothing to update. FullClass is hosted, so there is no plugin to update, no license to renew and no booking database on your WordPress site.
- One price, every feature. Plans differ only by how many spots you sell a month. Waivers, waitlists, courses, gift cards and class passes are on every plan.
- Classes, not products. You set up a class once and add dates to its schedule. Each date is not a separate item in a shop.
- Your own payment account. Customers pay into your own Stripe or Square account, and FullClass takes no cut of the sale.
- Refunds that follow your policy. When a customer cancels online, FullClass works out the refund from your cancellation policy and pays it back.
- Booking that looks like your site. The widget draws itself into your page, so it picks up your theme's fonts and colors.
When to switch, and when to stay.
- You run classes, workshops and courses with a set number of spots.
- You'd rather not keep a booking plugin updated and its license renewed.
- You want waivers, waitlists and gift cards without checking which plan or extension has them.
- You want to keep WordPress for your website and let someone else run the booking.
- You want it all on your own server. FullClass is hosted, and your bookings live with us.
- You mostly sell appointments or rentals. WooCommerce Bookings, Amelia and Bookly are built around time slots and staff. FullClass sells spots in classes.
- Classes must share a cart with your shop. FullClass has its own checkout, separate from WooCommerce.
- You take PayPal or need memberships. FullClass takes Stripe or Square, and sells prepaid class passes.

Frequently asked questions.
Does FullClass work on my WordPress site?
Yes. Paste the two lines FullClass gives you into a Custom HTML block, and booking appears on that page. If you'd rather link out, every studio also gets a hosted booking page.
Can I keep WooCommerce for my shop?
Yes. Your products stay in WooCommerce and your classes book through FullClass. Customers check out in two places, so if you often sell a class and a product together, weigh that.
Do any of them take a cut of my sales?
FullClass doesn't. WooCommerce says it takes no share of revenue, and FooEvents says it charges no ticket fees. Amelia and Bookly mention no fee on their pricing pages. Card fees from your payment provider apply either way.
Do my customers need to make an account?
No. They book with their email address, and when they want to see a booking we email them a link that signs them in. There is no password to set.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 30 days on every plan. Set up one real class, put the widget on a draft page, and book it yourself on your phone.
