The people who use it
My customers have told me they found it so easy to buy passes and make bookings, and using Stripe as the payment mechanism makes everyone confident that their payment details are secure.
It's so easy and simple to use, both for me managing the studio and for my clients booking their sessions. And the fact that it's a Kiwi business makes me love it even more! 🤎

What is Chocka?
Chocka is online booking software for businesses that sell places in scheduled sessions: classes, courses, workshops, holiday programmes, events and one-to-one sessions. Customers book and pay on your own branded page. Chocka is made with love in New Zealand, and is available anywhere in most major currencies.
How much does Chocka cost?
Launch is $0 a month plus 2% per booking. Grow is $49 a month and Thrive is $99 a month, both with no booking fee. Paying annually gives you two months free. Once you take more than NZ$2,450 a month in bookings, Grow costs less than Launch. Stripe’s card processing fees are separate and go to Stripe.
Do I need my own payment account?
On Launch, yes. You connect your own Stripe account and customers pay into it directly. On Grow and Thrive you can take cards through Stripe, bank transfers, or both, and bank transfer needs no payment provider at all. On every plan, Chocka never holds your money.
How does the free trial work?
You get 14 days of Grow or Thrive free, with no card needed. If you don’t subscribe when the trial ends, you move to Launch, which is $0 a month plus 2% per booking. Your sessions, customers and bookings stay. Grow-only features such as memberships, bank transfer, promo codes and free events switch off.
Who owns my customer list?
You do. Your customers book with your business, and you can export your data in one click. Payments already sit in your own Stripe account or bank, so if you ever leave Chocka there is no money to move.
Is Chocka free for charities?
Yes. Verified charities and community organisations get the Community package free, with no monthly fee and no booking fee. It includes the features of the Grow plan, such as bank transfer payments, memberships with recurring billing, free RSVP events and all 24 themes. Community sites keep a small “Booked with Chocka” badge.
