🚀 Getting started

Getting started

A six-step illustrated guide to Adminished — set up your club, add students, run classes and attendance, take payments, and share the parent portal.

Adding students

Add students one at a time or import from a spreadsheet. Set billing type, emergency contacts and enrol them in a class.

Setting up classes

Create a class, add a weekly schedule, set capacity and invite students to join.

Parent portal

How parents join your club with a join code, access the parent portal, view their child's class schedule, and pay online.

Adult self-signup

How adult members (boxing students, music tutees, Scout leaders) can sign themselves up via /join, the 13+ age floor, and how the same person is both account holder and student.

Switching providers

Moving your club to Adminished from GoCardless or another Direct Debit provider: why mandates re-authorise, the join-link route, importing your roster, and when to cancel your old provider.

Club account setup

The end-to-end onboarding checklist: verify email, name your club, add a class, connect Stripe, invite parents, configure email + audit settings, test the loop.

Connecting Stripe

Step-by-step walkthrough of Stripe Connect onboarding: what you need before you start, the verification flow, fees, payout schedule, and the common gotchas.

Setting up a venue

Add a venue with Google address autocomplete, link it to classes and bookings, set up rooms, and pre-fill nearby-services info for parents.
