For surf schools

Teaching out on the water?
Arion keeps lesson bookings moving.

Q: Can guests also book through WhatsApp?

Yes, with the WhatsApp Assistant add-on. When a guest messages your business WhatsApp number, Arion AI replies, checks availability, helps them pick a package, and confirms the booking inside the WA thread. You do not need to be online or reply manually.

Q: What happens with special requests, like a private lesson for kids?

Standard bookings with available slots confirm automatically. For special requests, Arion forwards them to you via Telegram so you can make the call.

Q: Do students need to install an app?

No. Students simply open your surf school's booking link in a browser or chat. There's nothing to download.

Q: Can it take online payments?

Yes. Students complete payment when they book, and the payment status is recorded in your dashboard right away.

Q: Can it be used outside Bali?

Yes. Arion is used by surf schools in Bali, Lombok, and other coastal towns across Indonesia, with full English and Bahasa Indonesia support.

While you're out in the water teaching, students can still check slots, pick their level, and book themselves, no waiting on you to reply to WhatsApp.
