# bindro — Independent movement teachers

> Bindro sells places in yoga, dance and fitness classes for teachers who have no studio and no wish to pay a monthly software bill. A class is timed-slot inventory, students buy a single place or spend a credit from a prepaid class pack, sliding-scale pricing lets them choose what they pay from a range the teacher publishes, the register works in a hall with no signal, and the money reaches the teacher two days after the class ends. It costs 2.5% + $0.99 per paid place and nothing at all until someone books.

## Facts
- Inventory model: timed slot.
- Pricing models: flat, class pack, sliding scale, pay what you can.
- Fees: 2.5% + $0.99 per paid place; free classes cost nothing.
- Payouts: one payout per event, released 2 days after that event's LAST session has ended (low risk tier, 0% reserve). Never before delivery, and a class sold as a run of dates pays out once, after the final date.
- Check-in: name list, works offline.
- Joining: free, alone, in minutes. No contract, no monthly fee and no card at signup. A payout destination is verified before the first payout, never before the first sale.
- Booking fee default: the student pays it. A teacher can absorb it or split it per class; the fee itself does not change with the choice, only which side of the sale it comes from.
- Overselling is structurally impossible: inventory moves only under a row lock inside the transaction that confirms the order, with a database constraint behind that as a backstop rather than as the mechanism.
- The number this vertical is run on: Class occupancy. Also tracked: pack utilisation, pack expiry rate, student churn. The console computes the north-star figure and prints the arithmetic under it, beside this teacher's own funnel with the drop-off at each stage, where the traffic came from, refund, transfer, turnout, no-show, add-on and repeat rates each shown with its numerator and denominator, gross, fees and refunds per class, live remaining capacity during the class, and CSV exports of orders and students. A step the platform cannot observe says so rather than reporting a zero.
- Data export: orders and students as CSV from the console at any time, behind a fresh one-time code. No export fee, no notice period, no lock-in.
- Required before checkout, enforced on the money path: Physical activity liability waiver.

## Not supported for this vertical
- Monthly memberships and recurring billing — subscription billing is optional for teachers and is not resolved. Payouts settle per delivered class, so a membership charge would credit a balance the payout engine could never release. Subscription appears in this vertical's pricing models and is deliberately not sold.
- Signing the waiver once and never again, anywhere — a signature carries forward within ONE teacher's bookings, for the same email address and the same wording, while the acceptance is still retained. A different teacher, a different address or a reworded waiver presents the box again, and the first booking always does.
- Moving a student to a different date — deferral is not a capability this vertical declares. A student who cannot make it refunds and rebooks; there is no "move my place" button.
- Handing a place to a friend — ticket transfer is optional for teachers and is not turned on, so a direct call is refused rather than silently ignored.
- Gift vouchers — gift cards are optional here and not resolved. A class pack is the only prepaid product a teacher can sell.
- Taking a card at the door — door POS is optional for teachers and is not turned on. A walk-in books on their phone through the same checkout, or the teacher records the place and the cash from the back office.
- Selling mats, props or merchandise alongside a place — add-ons are optional for teachers and not resolved.
- Teaching under-18s — minor consent is not declared for this vertical, so there is no guardian countersign and no under-18 gate on the money path. These classes are configured for adults.
- Verified member pricing — nothing checks a student against a membership roster here, so a "members pay less" tier cannot be enforced. Sliding scale is the mechanism teachers use instead.
- Instalments, invoices and purchase orders — not declared for teachers; a place is paid for in full at checkout or with a pack credit.
- Collecting documents — there is no file upload here, so insurance certificates and teaching qualifications stay wherever they live now.
- Being your studio management system — bindro sells places, takes the register and pays you. It does not run a room rota, staff payroll, a video library or a branded student app.
