Events + Workshops · CP52
Workshop bookings on your own site — and it never oversells a seat.
The booking engine behind real creative workshops: sessions, venues, places and payment in one flow, on your own site — not a third party's, not a pile of bare payment links. The booking core is concurrency-tested, so two people can't buy the last place.
Born at a real counter
This isn't a booking demo. It books real workshops.
Plenty of creatives sell workshop places through bare Stripe links or a third-party booking site — and lose control, data, and a slice of the experience in the process. This engine runs the whole flow on your own site: the workshops grid, the booking modal, sessions, venues, places and payment.
It exists because we needed it: the WordPress edition takes the bookings for a working artist's real workshop business today. The platform edition is its successor — the same booking logic rebuilt into the CP52 engine, so it can power any site built on the kit, with no WordPress required.
What it does
-
Oversell-proof booking
Atomic place-taking, concurrency-tested — when the last seat goes, it's gone once. No apologetic refund emails.
-
Venues
A proper venue entity — run the same workshop across studios, halls and rooms without re-typing the details.
-
Sessions + places
Multi-session events with per-session capacity, prices and status — full, low, sold out, past — shown honestly.
-
Embeddable widget
The workshops grid and booking modal drop into your site as widgets — same embed pattern as the LMS, your brand only.
-
Payment in the flow
Booking and payment in one pass, on your own Stripe — not a redirect to somebody else's checkout.
-
Your data, your customers
Every booking lands in your engine, not a marketplace's CRM. You keep the relationship.
What's live today — honestly
We'll never sell you a dotted line as a solid one.
-
LIVE — the WordPress edition
The cp52-events plugin takes real bookings for real workshops on a working artist's site today. It earns its keep every week.

TEST — the platform edition
The engine edition — Gather — is live: it takes the real workshop bookings on damiansemonin.art today, concurrency-tested, with waitlists and no-oversell seats. It ships as WebDeck Bookings & Events (£39/mo).

How you get it
The engine edition is sold today as WebDeck Bookings & Events (£39/mo) — online, monthly or annual, or by email if you would rather talk first. The WordPress plugin edition (£49) is still being packaged with licensing and delivery, so that one is register-interest; attendance registers and pre-event polls are on the roadmap.
