How to Rename or Replace a Recurring Class With Enrolled Members

Renaming a Class

The simplest change — just update the name:

1. Navigate to: Schedule > Classes, then Edit the class.

2. Click Edit in the Details card and update the Name field.

3. Save.
4. Expected: Class name updated; all enrollments preserved.

Replacing a Class (More Complex)

If you need to significantly change a class (different type, different enrollment terms), the safest approach is:

Option A: Edit in place

• Edit the existing class with the new settings
• Apply to all future sessions
• Existing enrollments remain

Option B: End the old class, start a new one

1. End the recurring series at a specific date (see: How to Cancel or Reschedule a Single Class Session vs. Ending a Recurring Series)
2. Create a new class starting from the cutoff date
3. Migrate existing members: either re-enroll them manually or send them an invite to the new class

Protecting Existing Members

Before making major changes to an active class:

• Check who’s enrolled: Schedule > Calendar → class → registrant list
• Notify members: Use Schedule > Calendar → class → Email registrants to inform them of changes before they happen
• Confirm credits stay: Credit and product assignments don’t change unless you change the payment settings

Tips

• Name changes are safe: Renaming a class doesn’t affect enrollments, credits, or billing at all.
• Product/pricing changes affect future renewals: If you change payment settings, existing subscription holders may see changes at their next renewal.

Troubleshooting

Members weren’t notified of a name change. Zipper may not send automatic notifications for class name changes. Use the class email feature to inform registered members manually.
