When creating pricing plans in Lynk Tower, one important setting is how sessions are counted—whether based on attendance or conduction.

This choice directly affects how students are charged and how session usage is tracked.


What Does “Conducted” Mean?

A conducted session refers to every class that is scheduled and completed—regardless of whether a student attends or not.


How Conducted-Based Billing Works

  • Sessions are counted whenever a class is conducted

  • Attendance does not impact billing

  • Every scheduled session is deducted from the plan


Example

  • A student purchases a 10-session plan

  • The coach conducts 10 classes

  • Even if the student attends only 6, all 10 sessions are counted


When to Use Conducted-Based Subscription

This model is ideal when:

  • You run fixed batch schedules

  • Seats are reserved for students

  • Sessions happen regardless of attendance

  • You want predictable revenue


What Does “Attended” Mean?

An attended session is counted only when the student is actually present in the class.


How Attended-Based Billing Works

  • Sessions are counted only when the student attends

  • Missed classes are not deducted

  • Students use only the sessions they participate in


Example

  • A student purchases a 10-session plan

  • 10 classes are conducted

  • The student attends only 6

  • Only 6 sessions are deducted, 4 remain unused


When to Use Attended-Based Subscription

This model is ideal when:

  • You offer flexible learning schedules

  • Students may miss or reschedule sessions

  • You want to provide fair usage-based billing

  • Your programs are student-paced


Key Differences

Conducted-Based

Attended-Based

Counts all scheduled sessions

Counts only attended sessions

Attendance does not matter

Attendance is required for deduction

Fixed consumption of sessions

Flexible consumption

Predictable for business

Flexible for students


How to Choose the Right Option

Choose Conducted-Based if:

  • Your batches follow a strict schedule

  • You reserve slots for each student

  • You want to avoid revenue fluctuations


Choose Attended-Based if:

  • Your classes are flexible

  • Students may miss sessions

  • You want to charge only for participation


How This Impacts Your Pricing Plans

This setting applies to:

  • Session-based plans

  • Hybrid plans (duration + sessions)

It defines how session limits are tracked and consumed.


Conclusion

The choice between Attended and Conducted billing determines how fairly and strictly sessions are tracked in your plans. Conducted-based plans prioritize schedule consistency, while attended-based plans offer flexibility to students. Choosing the right option ensures your pricing aligns with your teaching style and student expectations.
