How do I create a group event?

Create a group session from Events or the Calendar, choose public or private and free, free with donations or paid, and share the link.

Events are group sessions like a bootcamp, a yoga class or a run club. You create one in a minute and share its link.

  1. Open Events and press Create event, or in Calendar press Add booking and pick Community event.
  2. Give it a title and, if you like, a description.
  3. Set the Date, Time, Duration (min) and Capacity (max).
  4. Choose the Format: In person or Online.
  5. Type the Location and pick the address from the list so it gets a pin (Pinned on map). Add a meeting spot note if people need one.
  6. Under Who can find this event? pick Public (listed on the Events page and its map) or Private (only people with the link).
  7. Under Cost pick No charge, Free + donations (a tip jar with suggested amounts of €5, €10 and €20) or Paid (a fixed price per person).
  8. Press Create event.

After saving

You get the Share link with Copy, Email and SMS. The event also appears in your Calendar. Open it there to invite your athletes, make a flyer, plan an agenda and see who is coming.

Money

  • Paid events and donations need Stripe connected under Financials. Without it, the form asks you to connect first.
  • On paid tickets and donations Fitiva takes your plan's platform fee (5% on Free, 2.5% on Pro, 0% on Elite) plus Stripe's card fee of 1.5% + €0.25 per payment. Ticket sales and donations show under Income from Events in Financials.

Good to know

  • There is no separate field for a video link. For an online event, say in the description how people join.
  • A public event is seen by athletes in the area, not only by your roster, which makes it a good way to meet new people.
  • To join a free event, people need a free Fitiva account. A paid ticket can be bought with a name and an email.
