# Adding Students to Drop-in Classes

## Book a student into a drop-in class and generate an order

You can quickly add students to drop-in classes as an admin or staff member. Once added, an order will be created automatically.

There are two ways to add the students:

- From the student profile
- From the class planner

---

### Option 1: Enroll from Student Profile

1. Go to `Members` **→** `Students` 
     - Or use the **global search bar**
2. Select the student’s profile
3. Click `Drop-ins`
4. Click `Add`
5. Select the **class**
6. Click `Create`

---

### Option 2: Enroll from Class Planner

You have two ways to add a student from the class planner:

#### Add to the next available lesson

1. Go to `Class Planner` **→** `Drop-in Classes`
2. Select the relevant **drop-in class**
3. Click the `+`icon in the bookings section
4. Select the **student(s)**
5. Click `Create`

The student will automatically be added to the **next available lesson**.

#### Add to a specific lesson date

1. In the drop-in class schedule, find the **lesson date** the student wants to attend
2. Click the **three-dot (•••) menu** on that lesson
3. Select `Add students to drop-in`
4. Select the **student(s)**
5. Click `Create`

---

### What Happens Next

- An **order is created automatically**
- The family will receive a **booking  and order confirmation email** with: 
    - Class details
    - Price
    - A `Pay now` button

You can also manage the payment manually by opening the order and choosing to:

- Charge the **card on file**
- Apply **credit**
- Record a **manual payment**

---

Once the student has been added, the drop-in class will appear in their profile and the order will be available for payment and management as needed.
