All you need is a PayPal account and the email address associated with it, so that the participants' payments land directly and immediately in your account. Then just click on the "Create session" button on our website and follow the steps (see also "How do I create a Session?").
SESSIONS has integrated a standard video conference tool (Jitsi) that you can use for free. The SESSIONS meeting tool is based on Jitsi Meet and allows video broadcasting with up to 10 people. Alternatively you can use your own conference tool with SESSIONS. For that, see "Can I also use my own stream link with SESSIONS?"
Yes, just select "Meeting/Streaming Link" at the end of the "Create session" form and add your streaming link that your participants will use to join your Session.
Click on the "Create session" button on our website and fill out the form:

  1. Select Session title

  2. Select date, time and duration

  3. Determine number of participants

  4. Set price per participant (free, donation-based or fixed price)

  5. Enter email address (must be linked to PayPal account)

  6. Select video tool (SESSIONS meeting tool or own meeting/streaming link e.g. Zoom Link, Youtube Live Link)

  7. Create Session
You will receive a one-time email from us to confirm your email address.

If you want to schedule multiple lessons, complete your individual home page (feed). You can share this with your participants.
(see also "How to create your feed on SESSIONS").
Once you have created a Session, you will receive an email with which you can log in. When you click on "Sign up for SESSIONS" you will be redirected to the SESSIONS website.

In the header above you will see the buttons "My Sessions", "Feed" and "Sign out". Click on "Feed" to edit your profile. If you now click on the button "Edit profile", a new window will open and you can

  1. Enter your e-mail address and name

  2. Upload a profile and background image

  3. Add a short description

  4. Enter SESSIONS and Instagram username

  5. Insert the link to your website
When you have filled out everything, click on "Update Account" so that your entry is saved. You will now be redirected to the overview and a green field will appear in the top right corner, indicating that your profile has been successfully updated.
When your Session is over, you can add the recording link to your Session. Note that you have to start the recording or Session yourself with your tool (e.g. Zoom or YouTube). You can then add the link to the recording (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox or YouTube) directly in your Session details so that your participants can access it automatically.

To do this, open the Session in your feed and click on "Edit Details". Scroll down to the "Recording" section at the bottom of the page. You will now see a field "Recording link", add your link here. When you have added the link, you can enter the price. The price can also be different from the price of the live Session, if that is what you want.

Finally you have to click on "update session". Your recording is now stored and visible.
When you go to your profile/feed you can click on "Media". Here you can create any digital content (e.g. e-books, PDFs, goodies). If you click on the button "Create media" a new window will open. Fill in all fields (title, price and description), upload your cover picture and add the link to the file. After everything is filled in, click "Save". Your medium will now be displayed in your feed.

If you need to change something afterwards, click on "Edit". The window will open again and you can make your changes.
Once you have registered on SESSIONS, you can complete your profile and edit and manage all Sessions. You can also configure your individual feed that shows all upcoming and past Sessions.
There are no fees for you to create Sessions or recordings. You only have to pay if you earn something. If you have any questions about this, please contact us by email (support@sessions.link)
You must use an email address that is linked to your PayPal account when you create your Session. As soon as a participant signs up for your Session, the money will be transferred directly to your PayPal account.

Conversely, this means that when participants want to register for your Session, they will be offered different payment options:

  • PayPal

  • Credit cards (VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX)
You will then get the money transferred directly to your PayPal account, as mentioned above.
If you need to cancel a Session, follow these steps:

  1. Send an email to your participants that the Session is cancelled and the amount will be refunded. You can click on the "Copy email list" button above the participants list on the Session Details page and paste the participants into Bcc so that the participants are not shown to each other.

  2. Once you have refunded the amount (e.g. via PayPal), you can remove the participants from the list. Just click on the "Remove" button next to the name.

  3. When you have removed all participants, you can delete the Session. Either click on "Edit details" or disable "show Session in feed" and it will no longer appear in your feed.

There can be several reasons why our confirmation email did not reach you. Please check if one of the following reasons could apply:

  1. You used a different email (PayPal) when making a purchase: The confirmation email of the Session is automatically sent to the email address that was used to complete a purchase. Please check this mailbox if the confirmation email was sent there. With the link of the email you can always access the membership or session. If you can’t find the email there, you can also log in via the SESSIONS page. When logging in, please also use the same email with which you completed the purchase.

  2. The email may have ended up in your SPAM folder. Please check your SPAM folder.

  3. Your mailbox is full: If your mailbox is full, no new messages can be received. In this case, try to create new space by deleting old emails. Our system will automatically resend the email after a failed attempt.

  4. Failed payment via PayPal or credit card: Sometimes, due to a bad internet connection, the payment via PayPal or credit card may not have worked successfully. You will receive a confirmation email from PayPal when the payment was successfully completed. Additionally, you can check your PayPal account summary to see if the payment was successful.

  5. SESSIONS did not register your successful payment correctly: Our system is not perfect; therefore, it can happen that successful payments are not registered by our servers. In such a case we would like to apologize to you. But it is not a problem, we will help you as soon as possible. Please send us an email with your request to support@sessions.link and we will answer you as soon as possible.

If you have problems with payment, contact us at support@sessions.link. We will address the problem as soon as possible.

It may happen that the problem comes directly from PayPal, unfortunately there is nothing we can do here. Therefore, we recommend that you call PayPal's customer service directly (https://www.paypal.com/de/smarthelp/contact-us) and describe the problem.
We have chosen Discord as the communication tool for your creative space because it is a very secure tool and therefore does not allow spam accounts. It can sometimes happen on mobile or desktop that the registration/login does not work properly. In this case, we recommend that you try creating your Kreativraum account on a different device (desktop/mobile). You can still log in with your mobile device using the Discord app.

If you are asked for an invitation to a Discord room again, just go to our website and click on the "Kreativraum" button at the top of the banner. After that you should be able to log in with your Kreativraum login data.
On the Session page, you will find a link to the host's profile. There you can choose which way (Instagram, email, etc.) you want to contact the host.
If you want to cancel your membership, you must be logged in to SESSIONS with your membership account. Via the main page of your membership artist (e.g. May & Berry Friends page ) you can then cancel your membership subscription by clicking the button "Cancel Membership" (below the banner image). Afterwards you will also be shown how long you can still use the content.

If you want to pay the membership with another credit card or PayPal account in the future, you have to cancel your current membership first by clicking the "Cancel subscription" button. You can find the button on the main page of your membership, under the profile picture.

After that you will see how long the membership is still running. If it has expired, you can simply use your new credit card or PayPal account to purchase the membership again. So you do not pay twice.

It is important that you are logged in with your SESSIONS account when you renew your membership, so that you still have access to all your past SESSIONS.
