Frequent questions
Yes — SwingBook is built specifically for independent golf coaches. One link takes bookings, sells lesson packages, manages your clients, and gets you paid, instead of juggling a calendar, a payment app, and your notes.
Students pay by card on your booking page, and the money goes straight to your bank (powered by Stripe). You connect payouts once, then it's automatic.
No. SwingBook is subscription-only — you keep 100% of what you charge. No per-lesson fee, no marketplace cut.
Create a package with a number of sessions and one price. The student pays once, then schedules the sessions over time, with no additional charges.
Yes. Coaches rate skills each lesson to build a progress chart, set each student's goal, and track handicap over time — and SwingBook can automatically send a progress report when a student finishes a package.
Yes. SwingBook supports family packages — one shared balance covers multiple family members, each tracked individually, and the parent is kept in the loop as lessons are used.
Yes. Earnings count your whole business equally — payments taken through SwingBook and payments you collect off-platform (cash, Venmo) — with a clear breakdown of each source.
A live coaching companion you open during a lesson to capture notes, rate skills, and set what to work on next — building each student's progress over time and powering their progress report.
Yes — SwingBook is built around a repeat-business flywheel. You track each student's progress lesson by lesson, and when they finish a package SwingBook automatically sends them a progress report showing how far they've come, plus an invitation to book their next package. Progress becomes the reason students keep coming back — something a plain booking tool can't do.
Yes. SwingBook gives you a professional public booking page, shareable booking links with rich previews, and a flyer maker that produces a print-ready flyer with a QR code straight to your page — post it at the range or pro shop to fill your schedule.
Your first payout takes about a week while your account is verified (standard for new accounts). After that, money lands about 2 business days after each lesson, automatically.
Open the lesson: Reschedule moves it (pick a new time or send the student a link — no re-charge, credit preserved), Cancel calls it off and returns the credit so they can rebook, and marking a no-show forfeits the session. Cancelling never refunds a card charge — handle card refunds in Stripe.
They get a link (from their confirmation or from you) to pick times from your live availability — no account and no extra charge.
No. Students book as guests with just a name and email; everything they need arrives by email.
Free lets you coach up to 5 active students. Amateur ($29/mo, up to 50 students) adds unlimited packages and family packs, the full calendar, students CRM with goals & progress tracking, in-lesson mode, group classes, private offers, flyers, and an automatic "book again" nudge. Pro ($59/mo, unlimited students) adds the enriched progress report (skill radar + a shareable progress page), the Pro Shop earnings cockpit, and priority support. Launch offer: the first 100 coaches get Pro at $29/mo for 12 months — applied automatically, no code.
Some coaches sell time in credits instead of a fixed number of lessons. You buy a pack of credits, then book sessions whenever you like — each session uses a set number of credits (your coach defines what a credit is worth, e.g. 1 credit = 30 min). No account needed, no extra charge when you book, and credits don't expire. You'll always see how many credits a session uses and how many you have left.
