What is the Instant book setting?

Instant Book lets bookers immediately secure their place without your approval. ✅

Saves you time by skipping manual approval or decline steps.

When to use Instant book

Use Instant Book when:

  • You need quick confirmations

  • You have last-minute spaces to fill

  • You don’t want bookers waiting for approval

Example: Turn on Instant Book on over the weekend to fill Monday morning sessions automatically.

When to use the two step booking process?

Two-step booking is best when you want to:

  • Handpick attendees

  • Prepare for specific attendee needs

  • Approve, decline, or part approve bookings before

💡Tips:

✅ Only eligible children will be instantly approved.

👀 If you do use instant book, make sure you carefully check your registers for SEND and medical needs before the session starts.
