How to Add the Drop-In Scheduler to your Site 

Thanks for your interest in drop-ins. See the Drop-Ins Overview article for a general introduction to drop-ins in Main Street Sites.
  1. Make sure Drop-In Scheduler is offered with your current Main Street Sites package.

    The Drop-In Scheduler requires Back Office. Please contact us at support@mainstreetsites.com if you don't know for sure. 

    If you became a Main Street Sites customer before 2015 you may be asked to update your account to our 2015 pricing schedule to use drop-ins.  See the usage fees page on our website for more details.

  2. Setting up available seats for drop-ins

    The available seats for drop-ins are managed in same way that seats are managed for make-ups and demos. There are default settings for this in Setup > Make-Ups, Demos & Drop-Ins > Drop-In Settings, and you can set seats for a given class by viewing the class meetings for that class on its class meetings tab.  You can update many class meetings at once from Manage > Classes > Class Meetings. You can also set a given semester to use unused enrollment seats for drop-ins at Setup > General > Semesters.

  3. Turn on the drop-in scheduler at Setup > General > Semesters

    You'll need to turn on drop-ins for a current semester. You'll find settings for this by editing a semester at Setup > General > Semesters and finding the drop-ins section.

  4. Review drop-in settings at Setup > Make-Ups, Demos & Drop-ins > Drop-In Settings

    Review the settings for drop-ins. You'll notice you can override the term "drop-ins" if you'd rather use a different term. This applies to the customer-facing web pages and email notifications only, not the back-end.  You can set up automatic reminders and various other options from here.

  5. Set your drop-in prices at Setup > Make-Ups, Demos & Drop-ins > Drop-In Pricing

    You'll need to create a price for your drop-ins. Drop-in pricing supports price sets just like registration pricing. Drop-ins also support having a single default price.  You can use just a single price for all drop-ins or you can add more specific pricing schedules. 

    Drop-in pricing schedules are based on quantity. The price for one drop-in will vary by the number of drop-ins on an order. These pricing schedules can vary by location, class type and teacher. 

    Drop-ins do not support advanced pricing features like coupons, fees and discounts yet.

    See How to add pricing for Drop-Ins for details.

  6. Add drop-ins to your menu

    Go to Website > Site Options > Custom Menu to add the drop-ins page to your menu.

  7. Adding text to your drop-ins pages

    Go to Website > Built-in Pages > Drop-Ins to add content to the drop-in landing page.

  8. Adding an option to the shopping cart page for adding drop-ins

    Add an option for drop-ins to the "Add more items.." drop-down list on the shopping cart page. This is done at Setup > Settings > Online Order Settings.

  9. Adding a Drop-In button or link to your class schedule pages

    This involves going to Website > Named Layouts and adding the drop-in link to your current class schedule layout. Let us know if you'd like help with this.
