# Unpaid Classes

Unpaid classes are sessions that students have attended but haven't yet paid for. These classes can occur because:

* Students pay at the end of the month
* Payment is collected after they finish attending the class
* Studios offer flexible payment terms
* Payment collection is still in process

### How They Work

* Classes are checked in in the system
* Students are considered "active" when they attend
* The system tracks both paid and unpaid attendance

### Common Scenarios

1. Monthly Payment
    
* Student attends classes throughout January
    
* Payment is collected at month-end
    
* Classes are "unpaid" until payment is received

2. Flexible Payment
    
* Student starts classes immediately
    
* Payment is pending or scheduled for later
    
* Classes are tracked as "unpaid" until payment

3. Delayed Payment
    
* Student attends regular classes
    
* Payment is collected after several weeks/months
    
* System maintains accurate attendance records

### Important Notes

* Unpaid classes represent actual platform usage
* Studios are billed for active paying students. This also includes payment received in the future for the classes attended during then billing cycle.
* Payment status can be updated at any time
* Historical data remains accurate after payment

### Management Options

If you know certain students won't pay:

* Create 0 manual subscriptions
* Update their status in the system
* Maintain records while preventing future charges
