This article covers how to onboard your business to Momence.

The links below will auto-scroll to the section you click. Note: To ensure a smooth onboarding, we recommend following these steps in order. For instance:

Skip to:

Stripe is a 3rd party payment processor that integrates with Momence to take payments from your customers. It gives them the option to save their card on file and sends payments to your stripe account.

Important:

You can read more about this limitation here: https://help.momence.com/en/articles/9167318-why-do-i-need-to-create-a-new-stripe-account-to-get-paid-by-momence

If your previous platform used Stripe, and you need to now revoke its access to Stripe,

login to your stripe account > click Settings (top right) > then under Business Settings, under Team and Security, click Authorized Applications, locate the old platform and click revoke.

Step 1: Connect Zoom

To connect zoom, in Momence, click Apps & Integrations > Integrations > Zoom > click Connect Zoom > enter your Zoom login credentials.

Step 2: Turn off PMI setting in zoom.us

Then, login to zoom.us > click Settings > turn off the setting for 'use Personal Meeting ID when scheduling a meeting

Step 3 (optional): in Momence, consider Additional settings for online classes

Back in Momence, choose if you'd like to have automatic-checkins made. If enabled, this checks to see if someone on the registered list has shown up on the call and automatically marks them as checked in, saving you that extra step.

Also consider enabling automatic-recordings to be sent to attendees. Note: This setting requires that you record each class in zoom that you'd like sent later on to customers. Ie. when you start class in zoom, click the record button and it will be sent to all attendees afterward.

To add a location, click Studio set-up > Locations > Add location

Name it and choose if it will have a special time zone for class pass. If you don't use class pass, leave this field blank.

This location will now be available to assign to Appointment Boards, and selectable when scheduling classes.

To add a bio and logo, click Settings > Info.

Upload both and save at the bottom. Pro tip: your logo will be 'framed' in a circle so square or circular images work best.

To preview how it looks after uploading, open the customer facing mobile app or click your logo in the top left > then 'your page'.

To add a waiver, click Settings > Waivers & Terms

Momence gives you default waiver options to choose from. Select your waiver type > add your content and Save.

You can also create a custom waiver type by clicking 'New Waiver.'

In three possible ways.

In POS, you can:

For child waivers, if you are ringing up the parent in POS, and they are booking for their child, the waiver button next to the child's name will display a child waiver to sign.

Click it and you'll see the option to have the parent sign in person.

When customers are self serving

If the customer is running through their own checkout page to make a purchase, they'll be prompted to agree with a checkbox. The waiver they see will depend on what they're buying.

Membership waivers will show when a membership is being purchased.

Customer waivers will show to customers registering for a class.

Child waivers will appear to the parent booking for their children like this. In this example, Julie is booking for her son, Ben.

Custom waivers can be signed by navigating to a customer's profile, and below their name, clicking Custom Waivers. From here, you can have them sign in person or email the waiver link to them.

Afterward, you can return to this section where you'll see a link indicating they signed. If you click it you'll see what they agreed to and the timestamp of their signature.

To choose your cancellation policy click Settings (bottom left) > Cancellation policy

To skip right to creating auto charge rules, click here.

Then choose your cancellation policy preference for both classes and appointments. Then, set your 'Cancellation credit cut-off'.

Example:

In the photo below,

This means that:

Next, set a 'late cancellation period'. This allows you to track customers that cancel extra late (search your reports for 'late cancellations'). It also allows you to add Rules that auto charge for Late Cancels and No-shows.

After setting the late cancellation period (say, 60 minutes), then click 'Add new rule.'

Next, we'll break down each section of this pop up menu, and what it means.

Next, choose when the penalty will be charged. Try hovering over the question mark for an explanation of each option.

Notice how the hover over language updates for each option ('Every', 'Minimum' & 'Exactly') as you change the 'number of times' field.

Lastly, choose the whether to have this rule look back x amount of days/months, or...

... choose to only look at during a specific membership renewal period (ie. if its a one month renewal, the rule will apply to just that period, then restart at the beginning of next renewal.

Then set the penalty that will be charged and click Create rule.

On the Staff accounts page (click Settings > Staff Management > Staff Accounts) you can:

On the Teachers/instructors page (click Studio Setup > Teachers / Instructors) you can:

The video below covers all of the above, plus how to:

This will cover how to add pay rates for teachers teaching classes and appointments. These rates are paid on a per class basis or per appointment basis.

To set hourly pay rates -- like for a front desk role or anyone that clocks in and out, click Settings > Staff Accounts. These hourly rates can be tallied up with all other rates in the Combined Payroll Report.

Pay rates for those that teach classes or appointments can be created in a number of ways, using base rates or percentage splits to name a couple examples. To get started, click Studio set-up > Pay rates > Add pay rate.

From the Add Pay Rate page you'll find each section contains a question mark to hover over. This will give an explanation of how the payment option works.

A base rate is the amount the instructor gets paid for teaching the class, regardless of how many customers register.

Pay per customer tacks on an additional amount for each customer that shows. (note: you can choose to use just Pay per Customer without a base rate if you prefer)

A Percentage split looks at the total revenue of the class and allows you to split it with the teacher, where the teacher receives whatever percentage you list here.

For a more in depth tour of how each section works, see the video below.

This pre-populates the teachers pay rate where ever you schedule them, regardless of what they're being scheduled for. You can always edit the payrate to something else after it pre-populates.

To set this click Studio Setup > Teachers > click the drop down menu to the right of the teacher > Edit.

While setting a universal default pay-rate for each teacher can save time with scheduling, setting default pay rates for when that teacher teaches certain classes and appointments makes scheduling a lot easier. More importantly, it ensure's you don't have to remember who gets paid which rate when you're scheduling -- after assigning a teacher to a specific class or appointment, it just auto-fills the default rate you originally chose for this scenario.

Before scheduling your classes and appointments, you can control which pay-rate will auto-populate for a teacher they are scheduled to teach:

• a class that came from a specific template

• any appointment service scheduled on a specific appointment board

• a specific service scheduled on an appointment board

Each case above will override the default rate you set. In other words, you're basically saying 'Hey Momence, plan to assign this default rate when I schedule this teacher anywhere, unless:

(Ie. When this teacher is assigned to a class created from a specific template, assign this payrate)

Click Studio set-up > click the dropdown menu to the right > click Detail.

In the Class templates default pay rates, click the dropdown menu to the right, then Edit pay rate.

To set a default rate for a teacher click Studio Setup > Teachers > edit the teacher

(Where all appointments booked for this teacher on this board's schedule will auto assign this pay rate -- unless a default pay rate for this teacher has been assigned to the specific service being performed)

To set a default rate for a specific appointment board click Appointments > Boards > click the board

Then edit the teacher's default pay rate.

To set a default rate for a specific appointment service, click Appointments > Services > click the dropdown menu to the right of the service > click Service Detail.

To run pay roll, click Pay Rates > click the Run Payroll button in the top right. This will prompt you to choose if you'd like to see the payroll report for Classes or Appointments. You'll then have a chance to set date parameters before downloading the report.

​​ If you want a report that includes, classes, appointments, hourly wages and tips, use the combined payroll report, which can be found in under Analytics > Reports.

***Important: If you are planning to create online classes, make sure you've first connected zoom. You'll find steps for this at the top of this article.
