When an organization sets a class at $100, it should receive $100. Starting today, paid bookings on Famlo include a booking fee that covers Famlo's booking service and secure card payment, so the organizer receives the full price they set.
For families, the price you see is the price you pay. The fee is already inside every price on Famlo, and it shows as one line at checkout.
Not every family can commit to a whole term. Some can come on Tuesdays but not Thursdays. Some want to try a class twice before they sign up. Some would rather spread $380 over three months than pay it in September.
A class on Famlo can now offer all of that at once. You set the ways families can join, and each family picks the one that fits.
A lot of homeschool groups end up with a website held together by tape: a page builder for the pages, a form tool for sign-ups, a spreadsheet for who paid, and a volunteer who knows how it all connects. Your Famlo website does all of it in one place.
Build it in your Famlo console, put it on a web address you already own, and families can browse your classes, sign in, book and pay right there, on a site with your name and your look.
Not everything a homeschool group offers is a class. A portfolio review, a reading assessment, a week of packed lunches, a printable unit study. Those used to mean a string of emails, a payment link and a reminder to chase it.
Now organizations can offer one-on-one services families book and pay for in one go, ask a family to pay for an extra right in Messages, send part of a payment back, and sell downloads and videos from a store.
Running a co-op is mostly small jobs at the wrong moment. A parent at the door asks who is teaching Room 2. A dues payment fails on a Tuesday. A new teacher starts next week and has no Famlo account yet.
The console is built for that. It opens on what is happening today, keeps everything else in a short list of places, and lets you share the work without handing everyone the keys.
Most homeschool families keep records the same way: a spreadsheet, a notebook, and a scramble every spring to work out what everyone did. Each child on Famlo now has a school record that keeps itself up to date, and you can print a transcript from it when someone asks for one.
It's free for every family, and there's nothing to set up.
Every homeschool group runs on small conversations. A question about a nut allergy. A change of meeting spot. A thank-you after a field trip. Until now those lived in five different places. Messages puts them in one.
