The solution also offers an online marketplace, where parents can register their children for semester programs and camps. Key features include online registration, an online payment gateway, a parent portal and student management. Camp and class providers can take booking orders on their website by embedding the Sawyer widget. Once a booking is initiated by a parent, details of the order can be tracked on an online dashboard. The solution also offers an online payment gateway allowing partners to add classes to a virtual cart and checkout. Besides class booking, scheduling and online payment management, the solution offers an online messaging functionality allowing users to communicate with parents and students. Additionally, class providers can join the Sawyer community to showcase their offerings on an online marketplace. This allows parents to book classes directly from the Sawyer website. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 318 users.

I also would love if when you click "upcoming", the first day of classes would pop up if we were not yet at that time block (example, when checking in May for September classes). > > Sawyer has been great to work with. We have been through a few scheduling sites and this has been the best so far\! ----- ### "LOVE Sawyer, huge improvement over MindBody" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *12 August 2019* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sawyer's customer service is stellar, they always respond quickly and usually are able to address the issue within a day or so. The interface is user-friendly, both on the admin backside as well as for the parents looking for classes. I appreciate that it looks good embedded in my website, and that each activity has an option of a direct link. > > **Cons**: There are a few spots where I can't customize as much as I need. Particularly around summer camps. ----- ### "Reid Street Studio" — 4.0/5 > **Emiko** | *4 November 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great people to work with to get set up. Clean, easy to use interface on the client end. Fast responses when minor issues popped up. Reasonable price for the ease of mind of having a well-organized booking system. > > **Cons**: Widget is very glitchy on phones and freezes while scrolling. It would be nice to be able to change Sawyer terms like "semester" to "quarter" or other terms that fit what I'm doing more appropriately. It would be nice to be able to separate and group classes for different customer groups more easily. > > Overall very positive and I'm glad I found you to work with\! A few annoyances but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. ----- ### "Great service" — 5.0/5 > **Cheryl** | *29 October 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the way it looks and functions. It's super helpful for our small company to be able to centralize all of our customer info, rosters and class listings. > > **Cons**: It's pretty pricey. I know that I would spend a lot in admin to pay someone to do all of the work that the platform does, though. I do hope that it doesn't get more expensive. We will consider building our own registration system into our website if the price continues to climb. > > Good\! I was one of the early customers and the platform has gotten better over time. Customer service is excellent and we are happy. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/318282/sawyer?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/318282/sawyer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
