Questions people ask
How can a yoga teacher collect monthly fees and keep students coming?
Send a fee link on the first of every month automatically, or collect fees on a monthly mandate, remind students before each batch, and welcome new students with a short series that answers the usual questions. Marketiism handles batches, fees and reminders on one student list, from ₹999 a month.

How do I collect monthly yoga fees without reminding everyone?
Set up an automation that sends each student a payment link on the first of the month, with a gentle reminder a few days later if unpaid. Regular students can switch to automatic payments so fees are collected without any message at all. You see who has paid on one screen.
Can students pay monthly automatically?
Yes. Set up a monthly plan as a subscription, and students approve an automatic payment mandate once. Fees are collected each month through your own Razorpay or Cashfree account, with a receipt, and failed payments are flagged so you can follow up kindly. Most regulars prefer it.
Can students book specific batches?
Yes. Create each batch as a bookable session at its days and times, such as 6:30am in the studio or 7pm online. Students book from a link and get a WhatsApp confirmation and a reminder before class. You see who's coming to each batch before you unroll your mat.
Does it work for online classes?
Yes. Add your Zoom or Google Meet link to the batch, and it's included in every reminder. Students in other cities or abroad can pay online, including by international card, depending on your gateway. Recordings can be offered as a course on the Growth plan.
What should a welcome series include?
Three short messages work well: what to bring and wear, how to reach the studio or join online, and a check-in after the first week asking how they're finding it. New students feel looked after, and you stop answering the same questions every Monday. It runs on its own.
How do I notice students who stop coming?
Mark attendance or bookings, and an automation can flag students who haven't booked or attended for a set period, such as ten days. Send a kind check-in message rather than a sales offer. Many students drift away quietly simply because nobody noticed. Bookings can be marked attended or no-show.
Do I need to be GST registered?
No. Unregistered teachers can send receipts or bills of supply for fees. If you're registered, every payment produces a numbered GST invoice with your GSTIN. Many teachers start unregistered and switch it on in settings when their income crosses the threshold. Your CA can confirm when registration applies.
Can I sell a recorded yoga programme?
Yes, on the Growth plan. Upload a 21-day or 30-day programme as a course with drip lessons, and students pay once online. Students who stall get a WhatsApp nudge, and finishers get a certificate. It's a good way to teach people beyond your city. Lessons drip out weekly.
How much does it cost for a yoga teacher?
Most independent teachers start on Starter at ₹999 a month before GST, with batches, fee links, reminders and up to 1,000 students. Studios that want recorded courses or the AI choose Growth at ₹2,999. Every plan has a 14-day free trial, and no card is needed.
Can I send retreat or workshop announcements?
Yes, to students who agreed to hear from you. Create a page for the retreat or workshop with dates, price and a payment link for the advance, then send it to past and current students. Advances confirm places, so you can plan numbers properly. Balances can be reminded too.
Can I import my student register?
Yes. Export names, numbers, batches and fee status from your register or spreadsheet as a CSV and import it. Fee links and batch reminders then start working for existing students straight away, without asking anyone to sign up again. Duplicates are matched by phone number, so nobody is added twice.
Can the AI answer questions about batches?
Yes, on the Growth plan. It answers batch timings, fees, location, what to bring and whether beginners are welcome, from your details. Health questions, injuries and pregnancy-related questions are passed to you to answer personally, which is how it should be. Every reply stays visible.
Can students reschedule a missed class?
If you allow it, yes. Students can book a different batch from the link, or message you on WhatsApp to swap. Bookings and changes stay on their record, so you know who attended what without keeping a separate notebook for make-up classes. No-shows can be marked too.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask after a student's first month, when they've felt the difference. An automation can send a short thank-you with your Google review link. Reviews that mention the style, the teacher and your area help nearby beginners choose your class over a big chain. Reply to each one.
Can you set this up for me?
Yes. Our team can set up batches, fees and the welcome series as a paid service, or help you on a call during the free trial. Most teachers have fee links and reminders running in one evening, then spend their time teaching rather than chasing payments.
