How to Update Pricing in Opus1

Depending on your pricing approach, you can choose to update rates for future students, current students, or both. Each approach uses a different workflow inside the platform to provide you with maximum flexibility in managing your pricing. 

To get started, if you aren’t sure about whether to make pricing updates, we’ve partnered with music school expert and entrepreneur David Martin to share best practices on how to think strategically about raising prices.

Once you are ready to make changes, here is how to update in Opus1:

1. Updating Prices for Future Students Only

If you want new pricing to apply only to new enrollments, you’ll make updates at the service level.

How this works:
Service-level changes affect future enrollments only. Students already enrolled in those services will continue at their current rate.

You’ll update in groups such as:

  • 30-minute lessons
  • 45-minute lessons
  • 60-minute lessons

This can be done in batches following the instructions linked in your help center.
Detailed instructions can be found here.  

2. Updating Prices for Current Students
If you’ve chosen to raise prices for existing students as well, you’ll edit pricing at the subscription level.
How this works: Subscription-level updates apply to your currently enrolled students and can also be batched.Recommended workflow: Update from highest-priced offering to lowest to stay organized and avoid overlap. Examples:
  • 60-minute lessons
  • 45-minute lessons
  • 30-minute lessons
  • Group classes at similar price points
Important for Flat Rate Subscriptions: When batch updating your Flat Rate subscriptions, you must update two fields to ensure accurate billing:
  1. The Flat Rate amount (the new monthly price).
  2. The "How much should be charged per visit for partial months?" amount.
Note: Updating the "per visit" field is critical. If a student places a subscription on hold and returns mid-month, Opus1 uses this per-visit rate to calculate their prorated invoice. Keeping this aligned with your new pricing ensures no revenue is lost during partial months.
