Solidus demo store
The Paragliding School & Shop
The flagship: products, courses and licences in one system.
The hardest demo of the fleet, on purpose. A paragliding school sells wings and varios, but also courses with weather dependent days, licence progressions with legal requirements, tandem flights and safety trainings. Most businesses like this run on spreadsheets and hope. This demo runs it all on one Solidus core.
What this store shows off
Mixed commerce
Physical products, bookable course days, events and vouchers in one basket, one checkout, one customer account.
Licence progression, tracked
Training days validate attendance, flight counts accumulate automatically, and the B licence checks the cross country flight straight from an uploaded IGC file.
Weather gated scheduling
Course days depend on the sky: capacity capped sessions that move gracefully when the wind says no, with everyone informed automatically.
Deposits and instalments
Big ticket courses paid in sensible parts, with the shop tracking who owes what without a single spreadsheet.
Tandem gift vouchers
The classic gift, sold online, scheduled later, with waiting lists when the season is full.
Second hand market
Commission based resale of used gear, giving the school a trusted marketplace and customers a reason to keep coming back.
What this proves for your shop
- How service businesses with legal progression rules run on commerce infrastructure
- How bookings, capacity and weather reality live inside a shop, not beside it
- How one core replaces the spreadsheet zoo an operation like this usually needs
