Subscriptions

Subscriptions are a powerful way to keep the studio going. Besides providing a regular sense of income, it also boosts class attendance and creates a thriving community. Taramala supports a monthly subscription model for a single student. A subscription has the following properties:

• start date/purchase date,
• expiration date: the date when the subscription terminates.
• cost

Taramala contains logic to ensure that there are no overlapping subscriptions for a student.

Manual and Square Subscriptions

Taramala is one of the few yoga studio management systems that offer a way for students to purchase a subscription online. The goal is to make is as easy a possible for subscriptions to be purchased.

How do I find my subscriptions in Square?

After logging in to Square, go to the look for the 'Subscriptions' module in the left side navigation pane. All subscriptions created by Taramala are visible there.

How do I enter Square Subscriptions manually?

Subscriptions are often purchased online by students, but you can also add a Square subscription in the Taramala app as shown below.

In this scenario, you can manually add a Square subscription just like you enter punchcards.

How do I enter Manual Subscriptions?

This may be useful for students that you are migrating over to Taramala and the student already has an active subscription. In this case, you would like Taramala to only keep track of classes and not handle monthly invoicing.

In this scenario, you can manually enter subscriptions just like you enter punchcards.

When you enter a subscription, you have the option to setup Square on the subscription.

If you check the Square, a subscription for your student will be created in Square and an invoice emailed to the student. If autopay is enabled, the next time the student navigates to the student schedule, the student will be prompted to enter credit card information which will be used to pay for the subscription on a monthly basis.

If you are migrating subscriptions from another system, set the 'Bought On' date to be the date of the next invoice for the subscription as it is set in the system you are migrating from and then cancel the subscription in the old system.

Subscriber Benefits

With Taramala's custom pricing for classes and events, students can use their subscription to gain access to otherwise paid events. This is clearly shown in the student schedule as show below.
