How it works
Featured reviews
It’s been a great program to help manage classes and events across our 13 locations
It offers customizable options and flexibility that allows us to offer a wide range of educational content and communicate quickly and effectively with our customers. The team is quick to respond to all questions and concerns, as well as continually working to enhance the program.
Event Management has greatly improved how we manage classes
Features like Automatic Registration Expiration, Multiple Location Support, Wait Lists, and Flexible Session Management have really opened up time in our marketing department when adding, editing, and managing our classes. Our customers love the My Classes page because it allows them to manage their own schedules and waitlist registrations – even if they register at one of our stores.
We wanted an extremely stable extension that performed well and was easy to customize
Staylime displayed a strong desire to create an optimized product. Their team’s professionalism struck me the most — they were excellent communicators and focused on building a great product and making their customers happy.

FAQ
If you have questions or suggestions feel free to drop us a line at [email protected]
-
Does Event Management require Magento to run?
Yes, Event Management requires Magento 2.3+ to run. If you don’t have a Magento website we can help build you one.
-
Can we give our instructors access to the rosters for their events?
Yes, you can give instructors access to rosters, using Magento’s user roles management.
-
Can registration be closed at a certain point before the event starts?
Yes, we have very flexible settings for this. You can set registration to close (preventing any new registrations from being made) right when the class starts, or at any interval before or after that. You can even keep it open an hour or two after the class starts to be able to add anyone who just shows up.
-
How do wait lists work?
If a class session is full, customers will be able to add their names (and contact info) to a wait list. Once space opens up you can contact them and encourage them to register.
