Class passes that match the card in their hand
Passes are where drop-in classes lose money and goodwill: a card punched twice, a card lost with four classes on it, a couple sharing one card nobody can reconcile, and at the end of the year no idea how many prepaid classes you still owe. ClassMetrix keeps the pass on the phone as a punch card, one circle per class, so the screen matches what the student holds. The door taps the next circle; a couple can share a pass; a forgotten card becomes an IOU settled next visit; and the owner sees every pass balance and the total still owed, any time.

Where paper passes go wrong
- Lost cards. Did they have three left or five? You take their word, or lose a student.
- Shared cards. Couples and friends share one; the card says whose it was, the sheet doesn't.
- Forgotten cards. The regular who paid for ten classes and left the card at home. Cash tonight feels wrong; "I'll remember" never happens.
- Money that isn't yours yet. Pass money is paid up front, but the classes are owed. Count it as income the day it's sold and you overstate the good months and get a shock later.
How ClassMetrix runs passes
- A punch card on screen. Your own pass sizes and prices (5, 10, whatever you sell). One circle per class, tap the next one to use it, tap again to undo.
- Sold at the door. Where the money is. Sold by mistake and unused? Delete it.
- Shared passes. The door picks the partner's pass from the list of people here tonight. Staff comp passes can't be shared.
- Forgot the card: IOU. Counted tonight, punched next visit, with a prompt so it isn't forgotten.
- Adjustments on record. Match a balance to a paper card when you move over, or give a class back; it's shown separately so the sums still add up.
- What you owe. Pass money counts as income when each class is used, and the owner sees how many prepaid classes are still outstanding.
Moving from paper cards
Bring the students in by CSV or by QR code, then set each pass balance to match the card in the student's hand. From then on the phone is the card. Students who want to keep carrying paper can; the door just punches both.

Questions
Can two people share one class pass?
Yes. The door uses another student's pass from a list that shows the pass owner's own passes first, then those of people present tonight. Each use is recorded against the person who came.
What happens when someone forgets their pass card?
The door taps IOU. The class counts tonight, and the app prompts the door to take it off the pass next time that person is checked in. No cash is taken from someone who has already paid.
Can I set my own pass sizes and prices?
Yes. Any number of classes, any price, including a pass for a particular class only. Prices for passes and single classes are set by the owner, not fixed by the app.
How do I know how many classes I still owe?
The passes report shows every open pass and the total prepaid classes outstanding, because pass income is counted when the class is used, not when the card is sold.
