Step 1: Register your hobby business
Create a Hobbybooker business account and complete your profile with a clear description of your activities. If relevant, invite co-organizers, instructors, or staff to join your account.
Step 2: Set up your HobbyStore(s)
This is your personalized booking page. Add the key info your participants need:
- Types of events (e.g. classes, workshops, courses, try-outs)
- Target audience and skill level
- Pricing, location, and duration
- Minimum/maximum participants per time slot
- Structure of multi-session courses
You decide where bookings happen — on the Hobbybooker marketplace, your own website, or both.
As soon as a participant books one of your listed hobby events — and, if applicable, completes payment — the available slots for that timeslot will be automatically updated. You’ll instantly receive an email notification confirming the booking.
All booking details, including participant info, payment status, and event specifics, can be viewed anytime in your Hobbybooker dashboard.
Your Hobbybooker dashboard gives you full insight into your earnings and performance.
If you manage the main account for your hobby business, simply log in and navigate to the Earnings tab. There, you can:
- View your revenue per HobbyStore
- Filter by time period
- Track which events generated income
- Request payouts when eligible
Payments are securely processed via Stripe, and payouts are issued according to the Stripe schedule.
In your Hobbybooker dashboard you can manage all your settings and view your Hobbybooker performance. Log in to your dashboard and click bookings. There you will find your customer details and if applicable invoices.
Yes, you can cancel or reschedule your hobby event booking via your Hobbybooker dashboard.
Simply log in, in bookings or hobbystore select the event overview you wish to change, and choose from the available options:
- Select reschedule request if you want to request your participant(s) to reschedule
- If you need to cancel entirely, select the “Cancel event” option.
Important: If a group hobby event is cancelled, all registered participants will be automatically notified and fully refunded — no manual action required.
Hobbybooker SaaS allows you to integrate powerful booking and event features directly into your own website — turning visitors into participants.
With Hobbybooker SaaS, you can:
- Embed your HobbyStore(s) into your website so customers can browse, book, and pay for your hobby events without leaving your site.
- Introduce individual instructors or team members by adding “Book this event” or “Meet our instructor” buttons in your website’s About Us or Contact sections.
- Maintain full control over your brand and customer experience, while benefiting from Hobbybooker's booking infrastructure.
Example of website integration (for illustration purposes)
Coming soon: Additional features such as event bundles, monthly membership options, and gift voucher tools will also be embeddable via your website.
You control everything from your Hobbybooker dashboard. To publish your HobbyStore:
- Log in to your Hobbybooker business dashboard.
- Go to “My HobbyStores” to manage each store individually.
- For each HobbyStore, select the subscription that fits your event type:
Paid Events (marketplace + website integration)
Free Try-Out Events (website integration only)
Once you activate the appropriate plan, your HobbyStore becomes visible either on your website, on the Hobbybooker marketplace, or both — depending on your setup.
See our Pricing Overview for full details.
In your Hobbybooker business dashboard, go to the “Team” section. From there, you can invite coworkers, freelance instructors, or co-organizers via email to join your main account.
Each team member will get their own login and can manage their personal profile, hobby events, availability, and communication — all under your main HobbyStore domain.
If you're the owner of the main Hobbybooker business account, go to “My HobbyStores” in your dashboard.
There, you'll find an overview of all active and inactive HobbyStores under your account — including those managed by coworkers or freelancers. As the main account holder, you can:
- View and edit their HobbyStore settings by logging into their Hobbybooker account
- Manage bookings and participant lists
- Switch HobbyStores on or offline as needed
- Assist with pricing, scheduling, or event setup
This makes it easy to coordinate multiple instructors or event types within a single business profile.
You can offer subscription-based access to your hobby events in two ways:
- Per Individual Hobby Event:
Go to your HobbyStore, click “Add” or “Edit” on an event, then navigate to the “Availability & Pricing” section. There, you can enable subscription access for that specific event — allowing participants to join on a recurring basis (e.g. monthly membership). - Across All Events:
If you want to create multiple subscription types that apply across your full range of events, go to “Business Account” in your dashboard, then click “Subscription Settings.” There you can define different subscription plans (e.g. “4 events per month” or “unlimited access”), pricing, and terms.
These options allow you to turn occasional participants into loyal customers by offering flexible, recurring access to your hobby events.
Hobbybooker supports three main formats for hobby event scheduling:
- Weekly Recurring Hobby Events
These are events that take place on the same weekday(s) and time(s) each week—for example, judo training every Tuesday at 18:00 or basketball practice every Thursday and Saturday.
Customers can choose a recurring weekly time slot that suits their schedule. - Long-Term Hobby Event Classes (Courses)
These are structured courses with a clear start and end date, often consisting of a fixed number of sessions—for example, a 6-week photography class or a 10-session painting course.
Participants book and pay for the entire course as one package. - One-Off Hobby Events & Excursions
These are standalone or irregularly scheduled events—such as a chocolate-making workshop, a hiking trip, or a one-day archery lesson.
You can offer them on selected dates throughout the year, and participants book a specific time slot.
Each format is designed to match different hobby business models and customer expectations.
.
Yes — Hobbybooker includes flexible tools for promotional offers:
- Hobby Packages:
These allow you to offer bundled access to multiple events. For example, “Attend 3 events, pay for 2.” It’s a great way to increase commitment and bookings. - Gift Certificates:
Customers can purchase gift certificates for friends or family. The recipient receives a unique code to redeem for a hobby event of their choice. - Discount Options:
You can apply percentage or fixed-amount discounts to any listed hobby event during setup or editing of your HobbyStore.
These features help you drive more bookings and reward loyal or early customers.
Can I set a minimum and maximum number of participants for each hobby event?
Yes, absolutely. When creating or editing a hobby event in your HobbyStore, you can:
- Set a minimum number of participants required for the event to take place (e.g. group workshops or courses that only run with at least 3 people).(just not with hosting weekly recurring hobby events)
- Set a maximum number of participants, after which the event will be marked as full and no longer appear in your available schedule.
This helps you manage group sizes and automatically control availability in your HobbyStore.
