Hi, Holly!

Thank you for your interest in Amelia.

Yes, you can set the minimum number of registrants for the Service and it will be shown on the booking page. Also, you can add a description to explain that the Service requires minimum Capacity. 

You can check this demo. For example, if you go to Categories -> Cardio -> Aerobic, you will see that the Capacity is 5-16 attendees.

However, the number of registrants who already booked their place won't be shown to other Customers.

The status of the Service will remain "Pending" until the minimum number of bookings is complete. After that, the Service will get "Approved" status. You can send your Customers email or SMS notifications after that to confirm that the Appointment will happen. You can see more information about notifications on our website.

You can also set the maximum number of attendees. After the maximum number of registrants is complete, the Service will become unavailable for further booking.

I'm not sure that I understood what you meant by "a note that if 4 don't show up, the class cannot hold", it would be really kind of you to clarify, so I can answer this part as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, Holly!

You're welcome. Glad to be of service!

- So I think we want to use this set up here: https://sports.wpamelia.com/training-categories/ However, I don't see how to use it. I pick a date and a time and then nothing happens. There is no way for me to "checkout". - As I see in the screenshot you've attached, you picked not a class but a Package. In Amelia, we have this feature that allows to sell packages of multiple appointments of the same or different Services (available for Pro and Developer license). You can see more information here.

You can notice that Packages are indicated by the label "Package" in the picture below. If you want to test the usual Service booking, please choose any Service without this label. For example, "Vinyasa Yoga". 

- The population that we serve don't always have an email. They all do have cell phones. Do we have to use the email field when booking and paying for classes, or can we just use the cell phone field and leave the email field optional? - Yes, you can. You can disable email as a mandatory field and enable phone number in General Settings. Your Customers will still see the email field while booking but they won't have to fill it. Please check the attached picture. 

Best Regards.
