Infrared sauna studio bookings on Shopify
A row of private cabins, each with a 45-minute session and a wipe-down between. Repose books the cabins back to back and sells passes and memberships through the Shopify store you already have.
Repose is in review for the Shopify App Store. Until it is listed, we install it with you.
Why a class app gets it wrong
An infrared studio is a set of identical private rooms. The question is never which class, only whether a cabin is free at the time the customer wants, and whether the turnaround has passed.
In Repose the cabins are one resource with places equal to the number of cabins, or one resource each if some are bigger. Set the length and the gap once and the block offers only starts where a cabin is actually free.
Example setup
- Cabin
- 45 minutes, 15-minute gap, 6 places, does not count toward the limit
- Double cabin
- 45 minutes, 15-minute gap, 1 place
- Start times offered
- every 15 minutes
- Offers
- Single session, 10-pack, unlimited monthly membership with one booking a day
Example numbers. Yours are settings on your location, resources and products.
What you would sell
Each one is an ordinary Shopify product, set up from the Repose card on its product page or from New offer in the app, and paid through your own checkout.
- Single sessions and packs with an expiry you choose.
- Unlimited memberships on a Shopify subscription plan. A membership covers one booking per location per day.
- A fixed-term membership, such as a three-month pass, sold as a one-time product that does not renew.
Questions from venues like this
Can a member bring a friend?
The friend books with their own credit or buys a single session. A membership covers the member's own booking only.
Can we sell a couples' session?
Make the double cabin its own resource with one place. The couple books it once.
What Repose does not do yet
- Remind customers before a session. The only emails are a booking confirmation and a cancellation notice, which you can turn off.
- Schedule instructors or classes with rosters.
- A member mobile app or a check-in device at the door.
- Marketing automation such as win-back email or SMS.
