Online booking for tutors and online schools
For a tutor, online booking saves the main thing - the time spent agreeing on lessons. A student or parent opens the link, picks a subject and a free slot, pays for a lesson or a package and gets a reminder. In Flowlyup this works for individual and group lessons, offline and online. One teacher works for free.
How booking a lesson looks
Your page lists subjects and formats: a single lesson, a package of 8 lessons, exam preparation, a group intensive. The student picks a format and a free time, the system respects lesson length and breaks. The booking is confirmed, a reminder arrives before the lesson. Parents see the child’s bookings in the client account.
Lesson packages and payment
Lessons are convenient to sell in packages: the student pays for 8 or 12 discounted lessons and books each one separately. Payment goes by card or via SBP through your YooKassa account on the Plus plan, the money arrives in your account.
How to set it up in 15 minutes
- Sign up at flowlyup.com and enter your name and description - this becomes your business card page.
- Add services with duration and price, for example "Maths lesson" for 60 minutes. A price can be hidden or a service can be free.
- Set working hours and days off. The system removes busy slots from what the client can choose.
- Copy the page link and put it in your social media bio, messenger status or post captions.
- Install the mobile app: new bookings, cancellations and messages arrive as notifications.
Group lessons and an online school
Groups get a maximum number of participants, booking closes when it is reached. A school with several teachers runs one shared calendar: each has their own subjects and schedule, staff are added at no extra cost. For online lessons the format and the call link go into the service description.
Does it work for freelancers and solo professionals
Yes. The Start plan is free with no time limit, and a tutor can run it alone: Flowlyup never charges per staff member on any plan. You do not need a website - the booking page lives at a link you put in your social media bio and messenger profiles.
Online payments run through YooKassa: clients pay by card or via SBP at the moment of booking. The money never passes through the platform - it goes straight to your YooKassa account. The 1% service fee on the Plus plan is something you pay later yourself from your account, which keeps the arrangement transparent and risk-free for you. Booking, reminders, the page, the widget and chat work in any country, the interface is available in nine languages.
What the Plus plan adds
Once bookings pile up, the main thing is that clients actually show up. On the Plus plan students get reminders, packages are paid online, and study materials can be sold as products.
- Push and email reminders to clients 24 hours and 3 hours before the visit, with one-tap confirmation. Clients sign in with their email, so notifications always arrive and there is nothing to pay for SMS.
- Online payment for bookings and orders through YooKassa, including mandatory prepayment. The money goes straight to your YooKassa account, bypassing the platform.
- An online product store on the same page: products are offered while the client picks a service, and a service can be attached to a product - they sell each other.
- A booking widget for your own website and chat on the business card page and inside the widget: leads and clients write to you right from there.
- Brand colours without the platform logo and up to three branches in one account.
The whole team can answer in chat: create a staff member and link an authorised user to them by login in the staff settings - they get access to chat and can look after clients.
Plus costs 990 ₽ per month, billed in Russian rubles through YooKassa. For the first 14 days after sign-up it is free, no card required.
How to raise the average bill: packages, bundles and cross-selling
Booking is only the entry point. From there, tools most booking services do not have start to work. For example, a discounted package of 8 lessons and study materials sold as products with a lesson.
- Service packages. Sell 5 sessions as one discounted package, for example 30% off: the client pays once, and at every booking a session is deducted from the package automatically, so there is nothing to track by hand. Clients come more regularly and you get paid up front.
- Products and services sell each other. With a YooKassa account connected and products added, the client is offered suitable products while picking a service, and a service can be attached to a product so that it is suggested automatically.
- Product bundles. Several products are combined into a bundle with one price: better value for the client, more sold per purchase for you.
- Reviews and ratings. Only clients who actually bought a product can review it, so the rating is honest and helps good products sell.
You do not need a public page: calendar and notes
Publishing a page for self-booking is optional. Flowlyup works as a record-keeping calendar: book clients yourself in the Calendar section of your account and open the booking link when you are ready.
- Notes on a specific booking and on the client overall: preferences, contraindications, agreements.
- A note can be private - visible only to its author - or shared with the staff of your business.
- A client appears in your base automatically at the first booking or purchase, including bookings you create yourself. There is no separate "add a client without a booking" form yet; if you need it, write to us and we will discuss it.
Try it with your own clients
The Start plan is free with no time limit. For the first 14 days all Plus features are enabled, no card required.
