🛶 KeepsYa for Kayak & Paddle Sports
You help your Paddlers get out there. KeepsYa helps you win.
Registration, payments, lessons, rosters and check-in, built around how Kayak & Paddle Sports actually runs.
Lessons, guided trips and gear waivers for every paddler. KeepsYa handles the bookings, payments and waivers so you can stay on the water.
Run your whole Kayak & Paddle Sports program, free
The free plan is the real thing, not a trial. Everything you need to take paddler sign-ups and run the day:
- Take Lessons and Lessons & Trips sign-ups with waitlists, deposits and waivers, nothing left on a paper clipboard.
- Family accounts and guest checkout, so members register their paddlers in a couple of taps.
- Live rosters, QR check-in and attendance for every lesson.
- Track payments with automatic reminders, add coupons, and reward word-of-mouth with family referrals.
- Grow revenue with early-bird pricing and an automatic multi-attendee discount, sell day passes for multi-day lessons, and let walk-ups sign themselves up from a QR code.
Turn Kayak & Paddle Sports bookings into a business with Pro
When you are ready to grow, Pro adds everything that turns bookings into revenue:
- Sell lessons up front with punch cards and packages, your cash in advance.
- Memberships with auto-renew for your regular paddlers.
- Turn happy members into a paid channel with affiliate commissions.
- Multi-instructor payout splits, no-show follow-up, and priority support.
Money is easy to keep track of
Every payment, method, and balance in one place, cash, Venmo, Zelle and cards alike, with revenue reporting and CSV export. Accept payment right at booking, see at a glance who has and has not paid, and manage credits and refunds without a spreadsheet. Add KeepsYa Payments for instant card checkout (about a 1% platform fee on top of your processor’s rate) whenever you want the money to land the moment a paddler signs up.
Built for you and for your Members
Clean rosters for every lesson, a clear view of who has paid, and one-tap QR check-in. Less time on spreadsheets, more on kayak & paddle sports.

Kayak & Paddle Sports FAQ
Does KeepsYa work for Kayak & Paddle Sports?
Yes. KeepsYa is built for Kayak & Paddle Sports: Lessons, Lessons & Trips, rosters, paddler sign-ups, waivers and payments all use Kayak & Paddle Sports language out of the box.
Is KeepsYa really free for Kayak & Paddle Sports registration?
Yes. The free plan runs your whole kayak & paddle sports program: sign-ups, waitlists, deposits, rosters, QR check-in and payment tracking, with no per-registration fees, ever. KeepsYa Pro adds prepaid passes, referrals and affiliates when you are ready to grow.
How do members register more than one paddler for kayak & paddle sports?
Each family saves its paddlers once, then registers multiple in a single checkout, with no re-typing details every season. Guest checkout works too, so no account is required.
Can I collect a deposit now and the balance later?
Yes. Set a deposit per lesson and KeepsYa tracks the remaining balance, sends automatic payment reminders, and shows you exactly who still owes.
What payment methods can kayak & paddle sports families use?
Cash, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal and check are built in and tracked at no extra cost. Add real-time card checkout whenever you want the money to land the moment someone signs up.
How do I take attendance and check paddlers in?
Open the lesson roster and scan each paddler’s QR code, or let an assistant check paddlers in with a personal PIN. Multi-day lessons support per-day check-in.
Can I run a waitlist when a lesson fills up?
Yes. Set a capacity, turn on the waitlist, and extra families wait for an opening, then get promoted automatically when a spot frees up.
Does KeepsYa work alongside The Events Calendar?
Yes. KeepsYa adds registration, payments, rosters and check-in to an existing The Events Calendar setup without changing your calendar. KeepsYa is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Events Calendar.
Can a family reschedule, cancel, or get a refund?
Yes. Families can reschedule or request a cancellation themselves, and you decide credit, forfeit, or refund. KeepsYa keeps the money and the roster in sync automatically.
Who owns the kayak & paddle sports registration data?
You do. Everything lives in your own WordPress database, you can export rosters and payments to CSV anytime, and KeepsYa cannot lock you in or break your site.
How much does Kayak & Paddle Sports registration software cost?
KeepsYa is free forever for the full program. KeepsYa Pro is founders-priced at $149/year (or $24/month) with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a $399 lifetime plan is limited to the first 100 buyers. You only ever pay your own payment processor.
