Group Sessions

Let multiple customers share the same time slot. Set a capacity, and Paddli handles the rest - from availability to attendee management.

More Customers Per Slot, More Revenue Per Hour

Not every session needs exclusive access. Group sessions let you serve more customers in the same hours, filling your schedule and increasing income.

Multiple Customers, One Slot

Several customers book into the same time slot, each paying individually. The slot stays open until your capacity is full.

Set Your Capacity

Define how many bookings each group slot can hold - from 2 up to 50. You decide what works for your field and the session type.

Sessions Roster

See every group session with a list of who has booked in, how many dogs are coming, and how many seats are left.

Automatic Availability

Slots disappear from the booking page once they are full. No risk of overbooking - Paddli enforces capacity in real time.

Bulk Cancel

Need to cancel a whole session? One action cancels every attendee, issues refunds, and sends notifications.

Per-Booking Dog Limits

Optionally cap the number of dogs each attendee can bring. Control the total dogs on your field even in a shared session.

Group Sessions FAQ

How do group sessions differ from private hire?

Private hire gives one customer exclusive access to the field for their booking. Group sessions let multiple customers book into the same time slot, sharing the field up to a capacity limit you set.

Can I limit the number of dogs per booking in a group session?

Yes. You can set a per-booking dog limit on any session type, including group sessions. This works alongside your overall capacity to control how many dogs are on the field at once.

Can customers set up recurring bookings for group sessions?

Not currently. Group sessions are available for one-off and multi-booking checkout, but weekly subscriptions are not supported for group session types.

Fill More Hours, Serve More Customers

Group sessions let you earn more from the same schedule without adding hours.
