Picture the week before a session starts. Twelve families signed up for Tuesday Ukulele, and the instructor needs eight to make the class worth running. You have five.

The cleaner fix is to change when the card is charged. This guide explains why charge-at-signup creates refund work, how charging after confirmation works in SwiftEnroll, and what to put in your cancellation policy.
