They apply on a page of yours, you answer with one press
No inbox archaeology. Every application to a course arrives in the same list, with what she wrote, what she has done before and who is paying for her.
A page you can send anybody
Every published group has a page of its own: what the course covers, when it starts, where it is, how many places are left and who teaches it. It is a real web address — it goes in your bio, in a message, on a flyer — and it is also listed in the course finder, which is public and searchable.
- The page shows the dates and the places left, not a form asking her to enquire.
- A group you set to unlisted has the same page and stays out of the finder.
- If the programme names something to be finished first, the page says so, and so does what to do next.
The form asks what you actually need
Her name, her address, her phone, a message, and how much she has done before. When a salon is sending its staff, she ticks a box and fills in the company name, tax number and address — the details you need to write your own invoice.
- You invoice her yourself. No money and no invoice goes through Slotora; the details are simply carried to you.
- What she agreed to is recorded with it: your cancellation and refund terms, in the version that was on the page the day she pressed send.
- One application per address per group. A second submission is recognised as the same person, not filed twice.
Yes or no, and both are one press
The list shows who is waiting for an answer. Accepting puts her on the course and starts her payment record; declining is the same press with a reason. Both work the same way on the web and in the app, because both call the same function.
- An application that has been waiting appears as a job to do, so nobody is left unanswered because the day got busy.
- If she applied when the group was full, she goes on the waiting list and is offered the first place that frees.
- If she has not finished something the programme asks for, you are told — and you decide. It never blocks her.
What she sees from her side
An applicant is not left guessing. In her own portal her status is one of a short list of honest words: sent, waiting list, accepted, deposit due, enrolled, completed, withdrawn or declined — never a number she has to interpret.
- Her status changes the moment you press, not when a job runs overnight.
- The company that pays for her is visible only to the people you have given the money keys to.
- Everything she typed stays on her application, so the register never has to be retyped from an email.
Questions about applications
Does Slotora take a cut of what my students pay?
No. Not a penny of course money moves through Slotora. Your students pay you the way they already do, you write the invoice, and the system keeps the record of who owes what.
A salon wants to send three of its staff and needs one invoice. Can it?
Each person applies for herself, and each of them can name the same company with its tax number and address. You get three applications with one payer on them, and you write the invoice yourself, outside Slotora.
Can I take applications without publishing the course to the world?
Yes. An unlisted group has a full public page with a working application form, and it does not appear in the course finder. The only way to it is the link you send.
