First steps in Zenamu

After registering with Zenamu, you might be wondering where to begin. Don’t worry — getting started is easy. This guide walks you through the key sections of the left-hand menu, how to set up your Zenamu account, and how to create your first open class or course.

Haven’t created an account yet? Check out our step-by-step registration guide.

Once logged into Zenamu, you’ll find the main navigation menu on the left side of your screen. This sidebar gives you access to all the essential features.

The first item is Class Schedule, where you can view your upcoming classes.

The calendar displays all your scheduled classes for the current week in a clean, organized layout. To preview what your schedule looks like to clients, click the eye icon.

The My Courses and Workshops section is ideal if you also run seminars or special-topic sessions in addition to regular classes and courses.

To create a new workshop, click Create New Workshop. You’ll be able to upload a cover image and enter the title, short description, scope, capacity, teachers, detailed info, price, address, and venue.

Under My Clients, you’ll find a list of everyone who has attended your classes — whether manually added by you or self-registered through bookings.

To add someone manually, click Add New Client and provide their name, email, and optionally their phone number. You can also indicate their consent to your studio’s terms, Zenamu’s terms and conditions, and whether they wish to receive emails from you.

The Client Orders section shows all purchases made by your clients — ideal for keeping track of memberships, entries, and bundles.

This is the last item in the sidebar — and the one that lets you customize how Zenamu works for your business.

Let’s explore some highlights:

Under Public Schedule, you can update your studio’s name, label, address, and contact details. You can also link your social media accounts and choose between a calendar or list view for your public schedule.

In the Payments tab, you can configure how clients pay. In-person payments are enabled by default, but you can also offer credit card and bank transfer options.

To allow bank transfers, just enter your account number and a short message to display to clients. After saving, this payment method becomes active.

The same applies to credit card payments if you're connected to Stripe.

Under Class Booking, you can control how reservations work:

To define cancellation rules, click Add, then set a fee percentage and time limit (e.g., 50% if canceled within 6 hours).

We recommend reviewing the other tabs as well, but the settings mentioned above will cover the basics.

If you work with other instructors, you can add them under Teachers. You can grant them basic or advanced permissions — from managing attendance to editing schedules or accessing all system settings.

If your classes take place in more than one location, add them under Locations. You can specify if the address is the same as your studio or a different venue.

Use Class Templates to save time. Define recurring formats like name, description, price, difficulty, and capacity, then reuse them when creating new classes.

Here, you can configure email alerts — for example, when a booking is created, canceled, or when a bundle is purchased.

Create and manage credit bundles or entry passes (e.g., 10 entries for €60, valid for 3 months).

Define your studio’s participation rules. Zenamu automatically fills in parts like cancellation deadlines or payment options. You can also add your own privacy policy or use our GDPR-ready template.

To get started, go to Class Schedule and click + New Open Class.

You’ll see a class creation form. Use a template or fill it in manually: title, description, date, time, repetition settings, capacity, location, and price.

Want to offer discounts (e.g., for seniors)? Click Additional Pricing Options.

At the bottom, choose whether this class should allow bookings, be public, and assign a teacher and difficulty level.

Once saved, your class will appear at zenamu.com/your-studio-name — share this link on your website so clients can easily book.

During booking, clients will provide their name, email, and optionally phone number and newsletter consent. Then they choose a price and payment method.

And that's it!
