ARINA Live is powered by Stripe. Once you access your trainer profile, remember to update your stripe e-wallet and update your banking information.

If you have a registered business that has sales tax numbers, please input your sales tax number. We will directly include these when charging participants for your classes. 

Payouts are directly deposited at the beginning of each week.

Your banking information is saved by our trusted provider: Stripe. ARINA Live does not hold on to or have access to any of your banking information. Stripe exceeds the most stringent security standards. For more information, please visit : https://stripe.com/docs/security/stripe.

ARINA Live will prompt you to input your sales tax numbers (GST/HST and QST). You need to opt-in if you plan on making more than $30,000 of total income within the year, otherwise you may opt-out.

More specifically, you must register for the GST and the QST if your total worldwide taxable supplies (including sales, rentals, exchanges, transfers, barter, etc.) and those made by your associates exceed $30,000 in a given calendar quarter or in the four preceding calendar quarters (visit Revenue Quebec, or your applicable province’s revenue website, for more information).

Nope - we got you covered on-and-offline! The platform is designed to give you the possibility of growing their business both virtually and/or in-person and gives all the tools to a premium fitness experience all through one platform. If you are looking to book a location for in-person classes, reach out and we’ll help you find a spot!

Once you have completed your registration and updated your Stripe E-Wallet, you will be able to create your first class. From the Products section select the create a class button and fill out your class information. When your class is created you will then be able to schedule it in your calendar. Your class will then appear in your schedule as well as in the ARINA Live class library, allowing participants to book directly into the class from their accounts.

Public classes will show up in the ARINA Live class library. This means that people who are from outside of your community are able to book into your classes. Private classes generate a link that you can share directly with the people that you are inviting to the class. This is a great option for private classes that are being offered to a specific group of clients.

When creating a class, you will be able to set the price you want for your classes. The minimum class price is $5/participant.

From the Products section choose the Video Library tab at the top of the page. Select the create a video button, where you will input the name and upload your video. Choose the price and your video will appear in your products page as well as in the ARINA Live video library. ARINA Live can support videos in a .mp4 format and we recommend having a smaller file size to reduce uploading time.

Once all the classes you want to bundle together have been created and shown in your Products section you will be able to choose the ClassPacks tab and select create a Class Pack. Pick the classes you want to add to your bundle and apply the desired incentive.

Your new Class Pack will then appear in your products page as well as in the ARINA Live class library, allowing participants to book directly into the class from their accounts. We currently do not support the bundling of recurring classes - this feature will be released shortly!

If you need to cancel a virtual class, you will be able to do so up to 1 hour before your class. For in-person classes, you will be able to do so up to 24 hours before your class. Please make sure to contact your clients to let them know of any last minute changes in your class schedule.

ARINA Live works on the following browsers: Chrome for computers/androids, Safari for iOS products (iPhone, iPad). We recommend that trainers run classes from a computer to have the best quality and on a Chrome browser as this is the only browser that allows for music sharing.

Our stream can reach 1080p. This is depending on your and your participant's internet quality. Our software throttles image quality based on your internet speed. In order to have HD 1080p, we require an internet speed of 5Mbps.

1. Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs to avoid application glitches and lags.
2. If you’re having any issues during the class, refresh the browser. It’s as simple as that!

There are two areas where you are able to select the video and microphone that you will be using during the session.

1. In the classroom lobby, you will have access to the "Setup Audio and Mic Inputs".
2. In the classroom, you will have access to the "Settings" (ellipsis menu in the top right). This menu also contains an Audio/Mic Setup. 

Make sure that there are no other applications (i.e. Zoom or Skype) running on your computer using your camera/mic!

In-browser music sharing is one of our best functionalities! Our music share functionality works on a Chrome browser

1. Next to the ARINA Live tab, open a web player tab for the web application that you are using (i.e. Spotify web player). 
2. Log into the web player.
3. Return onto the ARINA Live tab and select the icon in the ellipsis menu labelled "Enable Audio Share".
4. A window will appear. Select the "Browser Tab" option on the right. 
5. Select the music player tab from the list of tabs. 
6. Select the Share Audio box on the bottom left. 
7. Select the blue "Share" button on the button right.

You will be automatically directed to your Web Player Tab. Select the playlist and song. Your audio is now being shared with participants!

1. Once you have shared your music with participants, select the settings icon at the bottom right of ARINA Live. 
2. You will be able to see both your mic and shared music input levels. Make sure that both levels are the same as this will mean that your voice and your music are equally being heard by participants. 
3. If your participants can't hear your voice, lower your music directly from the music web player.

We recommend starting with your web player music volume level at the halfway mark! We recommend using a Bluetooth microphone as this will guarantee a great audio quality for your community.

ARINA Live currently offers local and cloud recordings.

1. Select the recording icon in the ellipsis menu (top right of the classroom) and choose the type of recording you wish to start (cloud or local).
2. Select "Start Recording".
3. Once your class is over, select "Stop Recording" from the ellipsis menu. 
4. If you select local recording, a file will automatically download from your browser. Our local recording feature currently produces WebM files. 
5. If you selected cloud recording, a file will also upload directly to your analytics tab in your dashboard. You will be able to generate a temporary link and share this with participants.

You will have a 15 minute grace period once the class time is up. Once these 15 minutes go by, your class will expire and end for all of your participants.
