Packages Add-on

With this add-on, you can offer package deals for your client's favourite services. In addition, you can add a package discount and set a validity period for services booked in package form.

How it works

Do your clients keep coming back for the same service? Why not offer them a package deal? They'll love the convenience package deals provide. The optional discount is great for increasing sales of a particular service.

A staff member or administrator creates a new package via the backend and optionally books the first appointment for a customer, but the rest of the package services can be scheduled by the customer via the customer's user account on your site. As long as they're booked within the validity period you set.

Are you launching a new service? You can offer package deals at a discount as a launch special. This will help your new service to gain exposure and help you to increase sales. All while offering your clients convenience.
