FAQs

Is it really free for small operations?

Yes. If you have 30 or fewer new registered students in a month, you pay $0 in student fees. You only pay the $1 per payment fee when students pay online. Manual/cash payments have no CertClass fee.

How does the student fee work when I exceed 30?

Once you have 31 or more new registered students in a calendar month, all new registrations for that month are charged at $0.33 each. For example: 50 new students = 50 × $0.33 = $16.50. The free tier resets each month.

What about Stripe's processing fees?

Stripe charges their standard processing fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30) separately. Our $1.00 per payment fee is in addition to Stripe's fees. You connect your own Stripe account and payments go directly to you.

Do I have to use SMS?

No. SMS is completely optional at $0.03 per message. Email notifications are always free and unlimited. Many customers use email only.

Are all features really included?

Yes. Custom branding, certification tracking, unlimited instructors, CSV exports — everything is included for everyone. No tiers, no upgrades, no locked features.
