Step 3: About You

Choose your timezone and areas of expertise.
Your Timezone — Select the timezone where you teach. This is used for lesson reminders and scheduling. SwingMatch auto-detects your timezone, but you can change it from the dropdown.

Skill areas: Full Swing, Short Game, Putting, Chipping, Bunker Play, Driving
Strategy: Course Management, Mental Game, On-Course Playing
Student focus: Beginner Instruction, Junior Development, Ladies Golf, Advanced/Competitive

Both fields are optional. You can update them anytime from Account settings.
Step 4: Payment Methods
Page heading: "Payment Methods"
Choose your currency and how you want students to pay you.
Currency — Select Canadian Dollar (CAD) or US Dollar (USD). This sets the currency for all your lesson pricing and packages and what currency you are billed in for your subscription. You cannot change this later.
Preferred payment options — Choose one:
Offline and Online (recommended) — Accept both credit card payments through Stripe Connect and in-person payments (cash, e-transfer, etc.).
Offline only — Only accept in-person payments.
Credit cards only — Only accept online payments through your Stripe Connect account.
Tap Next to continue.
You must select a currency before you can move to the next step.
