Transfer/Change Someone's Booking
If an attendee asks to move their booking to a different date or time, you can move it for them.
Please note: Moving attendees is only available from your community profile. If you're signed in to a network profile, switch to the community that hosts the experience first. (See: 🔄 1.3 Switching Between Profiles)
To move one attendee:
- Visit dashboard.sweatpals.com
- Select the Experiences tab
- Select the experience the attendee is currently booked for
- In the RSVPs tab, find the attendee and select the ••• menu
- Select Move to...
- Search for or select the experience you're moving them to, then click Continue
- Review the summary: where they're moving from and to, how many orders and tickets are moving, and which ticket tier they'll get in the new experience
- (Optional) Check Charge a reschedule fee and enter the fee amount
- Click Move attendees
To move several attendees at once, open the experience, select the ••• menu at the top of the page and choose Move attendees.
The move runs in the background, so you can close the panel and check back later. Attendees get an email with their new tickets.
Reschedule fee: The fee is charged to the attendee's card on file. If the attendee doesn't have a card on file, they're moved without a fee.
Please note: Check-in status doesn't carry over. If the attendee was already checked in, check them in again on the new experience.
Communication Tools
To communicate with members who have signed up for your experience:
- Automated Campaigns: For a specific experience, you can set up emails that attendees receive automatically upon registering for the experience, 24-hours prior to experience, and more. (See: ✉️ 7.1 Email & SMS Campaigns)
- Manual Campaigns: For a specific experience, you can set up email or SMS campaigns that attendees receive at any time. (See: ✉️ 7.1 Email & SMS Campaigns)

Please note: If you are a gym or studio, we have a specific Check-in function that can be enabled for an easier check-in flow for your front desk. (See: 🎫 6.8 Check-In on Web)
Dependent Check-In
When Dependent Check-In is enabled for an experience, guardians can register themselves along with one or more dependents - all without requiring a separate Sweatpals account or phone number.
Each dependent uses their own booking, credit, and available spot, while all bookings and waivers remain linked to the guardian’s account.
Please note: On the attendee roster, dependents appear as [Guardian’s Name] (Dependent) and can be checked in using the standard check-in flow.
To check-in a dependent:
- Open the Check-in tab
- Search for the guardian or attendee
- Click the ••• menu next to their name
- Select Check in dependent
- Choose the visit type: Facility or Experience
- If selecting an experience, choose the correct experience & tier
- Select the payment method (existing plan, existing ticket, new plan, custom charge or no charge)
- Review the details and click Confirm check-in.
Once completed, the dependent will appear under the guardian on the check-in roster. Each dependent check-in uses one ticket, booking, or available spot
Friendly reminder: This feature is intended for guardian-and-minor registrations. Adult attendees must still use their own Sweatpals account and phone number.
Please note: The Dependent Check-In feature is currently available for select communities. To request for this feature to be enabled on your account, please email [email protected].
Adding Attendees to an Experience
To add an attendee to an experience:
- Visit dashboard.sweatpals.com
- Select the Experiences tab
- Find & select the experience
- Click Add Attendee
- Search through existing members or add their information manually
- Select a payment method (no charge, full payment, or open point-of-sale)
Once added manually, attendee will receive an email to accept the booking, upon which they will complete their intake and waiver (if enabled).
Please note: Upgrading or switching a booking as an admin is possible, however, it won't charge them the difference if there is one.
Alternatively, attendees can upgrade their bookings on their own and will be charged the difference between bookings. (See: 📅 2.3 Managing Bookings)
Setting Experience Policies
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Set rules for refunds, late cancellations, no-shows, and rescheduling. Policies can be configured at either the community level or for an individual experience.
Please note: Adjusting these policy settings are currently only available via web browser.
Policy settings you can customize
Policy Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
Refund Policy | When enabled, attendees can receive a full refund unless a late cancellation fee applies. When disabled, cancellations are non-refundable. |
Late Cancellation Fee | Set a cutoff window for cancellations. If an attendee cancels within this window, they can be charged a fee set as either a dollar amount ($) or percentage (%). |
No-Show Fee | Set a Mark as no-show window after the experience begins. Attendees who have not checked in within this period can be marked as a no-show and charged a fee set as either a dollar amount ($) or percentage (%). |
Allow Rescheduling | Allow attendees to move their booking to another upcoming listing. You can optionally charge a rescheduling fee. If the new booking costs more than the original, the attendee will also pay the price difference. |
Enforcement | Choose whether applicable fees are processed Automatically or require Manual Review. |
Community-Level Policy

No-Show & Late Cancellation Policy
Setting up no-show and late cancel policies can help encourage your desired member behavior:
- Late cancellation fees appear for review shortly after the attendee cancels within the late cancellation window you set up (e.g. 1 hour).
- No-show fees appear for review shortly after the member is not checked in within the no-show window you set up (e.g. 15 minutes). It may take up to 20 minutes to appear following the no-show window.
To review pending fees (whether automatic or manual):
- Visit dashboard.sweatpals.com
- Select the Experiences tab
- Find & select the experience
- Toggle into the Late Cancels/No-Shows tab
- Review the Completed or Queued fees
Please note: All fees with a Queued status are scheduled to occur, but have not been completed yet. All automatic fee applications will sit in a Queued status up to 1 hour post-experience to give you flexibility to prevent charges.
- Confirm or waive the charges as you see fit
Please note: Hosts currently need to review all pending fees within each individual experience.
Custom Questionnaires
Collect additional attendee information or intake during checkout:
