  4. Not an open time? You are asked “Add it anyway?” first.
A lesson says “No customer” or “No student linked”. What do I do?
  1. It was made in the Wix app without picking a customer, so nobody can be told, paid or evaluated.

  1. Open the student’s profile and tap “Hours done before”.
  2. With Stallion before this website: these count toward the 6 hours for the certificate.

  4. Wrong number? Enter the same hours with a minus sign.
How do I undo a no-show recorded by mistake?

  3. Both entries stay in the lesson history.
How does the waitlist work?
  1. Families join from booking when the day they want is full (morning, afternoon, evening or any time).
  2. When a lesson that day is cancelled, the first family in line gets it held for 60 minutes with a text and email. If they don’t book, the next family gets it.
  3. Open Waitlist to see who is waiting, offer any open time by hand, message them, or remove them (Restore brings them back).
