Where Regpack is strong

What Does Regpack Do Better for Class and Course Providers?

What you get when sign-up runs on your own site instead of a marketplace.

Registration on Your Own Website

Students sign up on your site, so every registration, contact detail, and payment record stays with your program.

Conditional Intake Forms

Ask about skill level, prior coursework, or health needs, show only the follow-ups each student needs, and collect signed waivers in the same flow.

Deposits and Installments

Let families or adult learners pay a deposit and split the rest into installments with different due dates, by card or ACH.

QR Code Class Check-In

Each class has its own QR code, so attendance only counts when the student is present, with kiosk and offline modes for any room.

Safe Pickup for Kids' Classes

Approved pickup lists, signature capture, and a staff photo sent to the parent before a child leaves with a stand-in.
