Classes belong to a club
A class on ORUS is run by a club: a gym, a studio, a run club, a coach with a following. Start one at app.orus.uk/new; it is pending until ORUS approves it, and you can build your timetable meanwhile. The console is where classes live: a class has a category, a venue or a joining link, a duration, a price or no price, and sessions on a calendar.
Bookings, waitlists, check-in
A member books a session from the class page or the app. Capacity is counted atomically, a full session takes a waitlist, and a cancellation inside your cutoff promotes the next person. On the day, you check people in from the calendar or by scanning their QR code.
Venues on the map
Add your venues once, with a postcode for the pin; every class placed on one shows the map, the address and directions on its page, and appears in the classes directory near the people looking.
The fee
A free or pay-at-the-venue class costs nothing. A class paid online carries an ORUS booking fee the member pays on top of your price (4.5% + £1.25 + 1.5% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than £0.50 in the United Kingdom; 4.5% + RM 7.50 + 2.1% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than RM 3.00 in Malaysia; 4.5% + S$2.20 + 1.5% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than S$0.90 in Singapore; 4.5% + A$2.40 + 1.5% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than A$1.00 in Australia; 4.5% + €1.50 + 1.5% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than €0.60 in the euro area; 4.5% + US$1.60 + 1.5% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than US$0.65 in the United States), so a £20.00 class charges the member £22.00 and you receive £20.00. You can choose to absorb the fee instead on the class's booking rules. To take payment online, a club in the United Kingdom connects its own Stripe account once, on Verify, and each booking is paid into it. A club in Malaysia adds its bank account on Verify instead, on Stripe's own form, and is paid by ORUS: the member pays ORUS, and your share of each paid class, ticket or course place is sent to your bank account by bank transfer in ringgit, through Stripe, once the session or event has ended and its refund window has closed (a course once the buyer's 14-day right to cancel has run). Everything due is sent together on the morning payout run, with a minimum of RM 133.00 a payout; anything under that waits until the balance owed reaches it. A refund after you were paid is taken from your next payout. Wallet lists each booking with the date it pays.
Questions at this step
Can a personal trainer run classes without a club?
Start a club under your own name; it is the same console. One-to-one appointments live there too, with slots from your working hours.
What about membership plans?
A club can sell its own memberships; ORUS keeps 5% of each payment and the member pays nothing on top. A club in Malaysia is paid its share by bank transfer in ringgit once the member's 14-day right to cancel has run, as Getting paid in Malaysia sets out.
