Packages are discounted services “bundled” together into an incentive package that’s to be used within a certain time period (for instance, three facials for the price of two or a discounted price for two services booked together such as a cut and highlight). Packages can be used to give clients an incentive to try new services that you want to promote, or encourage them to come back weekly or monthly by offering multiple use of a service at a discounted price.
The total cost of the package is prepaid at the time it is purchased. The software will keep track of usage. Packages will only be applied to services.
Instructions for applying and processing payment for Packages at Checkout can be found in Packages: Selling/Redeeming Packages
