Is it free to list my classes?
Listing in the CarryClass directory is free, and so is claiming and updating your page. The 5% platform service fee only applies to online bookings: once you enable them through Stripe Connect, students pay that fee at checkout on top of your class price — so you keep 100% of what you charge.
Why should I claim my profile?
Claiming your profile lets you add more information, and — if you connect Stripe — accept online bookings directly on getcarryclass.com. Plus, get a free dashboard to send automatic confirmation, reminder, and follow-up emails; see real-time registrations; and one place to update your profile, pricing, and class details.
How do you verify that I own the listing?
We send a one-time code to the email or phone already stored on your listing (from the sheriff-approved vendor data). You cannot enter a different contact to claim someone else’s page.
Do I need Stripe to get started?
No. You can claim your listing, finish every onboarding step, publish, and keep editing your page without Stripe — you can skip the payments step entirely. Online booking and payments are the one thing that requires Stripe Connect: until you connect, your profile shows your details and schedule but students cannot book or pay through CarryClass. Connect from your dashboard any time and booking turns on.
Which counties do you cover?
CarryClass covers sheriff-approved CCW instructors across California. Students browse by county, so multi-county instructors can appear in every market they serve.
