Prerequisites
Before you begin:
- Have access to Edit Profile and Retail Configuration in CORE
- Know what terms you want clients to agree to at signup vs per membership/package
- Have legal-ready wording for policies and agreements
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Understand what a policy is
- A policy is something the client agrees to once, typically during first login or signup.
- They appear as checkboxes with linked content and cover general terms like:
- Liability waivers
- COVID-19 protocols
- Studio cancellation and no-show rules
✅ Policies are business-wide and apply to every client.
Step 2: Add or view a policy
- Click your Studio Name > Edit Profile
- Go to Policies
- Click on an existing policy to view the content or use the + icon to add a new one
- Add your policy title and text
- Mark it as Required so clients must agree before continuing
Step 3: Understand what a package agreement is
- A package agreement (sometimes called a membership agreement) is tied to a specific pack or membership.
- These are more detailed and often include:
- Commitment periods (e.g., “12-month minimum”)
- Class cancellation rules specific to that membership
- Termination or refund conditions
📄 Unlike policies, agreements are signed and stored in the client’s file with a timestamp.
Step 4: Add or view a package agreement
- Go to Payments > Retail Configuration
- Click into Memberships or Packages
- Select a specific item
- Scroll to the Agreement Section
- Toggle it ON and paste your agreement content
- Enable Send Electronic Confirmation so clients get a copy
- Save the changes
Expected outcome
Clients will:
- Agree to your policies during initial sign-up (tick box)
- Sign agreements when purchasing packs or memberships (signature required)
Your team will be able to:
- View policies and signed agreements in the client profile
- Download signed agreements as PDFs (not available for ticked policies)
