Expiry Dates
You can optionally set a deadline for your client to request their last session. If selected, we'll prevent clients from booking sessions for this package after the expiry date.
The expiry date is calculated once you've confirmed the package. You can adjust this at any time after your client's package is created.
Under the Booking Restrictions section, enable the This package has a session expiry date option then set the package length as needed:
Weekly & Monthly Session Limits
You can restrict how many sessions a client can book per week and/or per month within their package by enabling the following option under your Booking Restrictions section:
You can also set up general session limits in your Booking & Cancellation Settings.
Redirecting clients from the booking page
You can enter a custom webpage address in the Redirect URL field.
After a client books your Package through a public booking page, they will be automatically redirected to the URL you enter here.
Leaving this blank results in the client seeing Practice Better's standard confirmation page.
Adding Services and Sessions
Once you've added your package name and description, can start adding services to your package by clicking the Add sessions to this package button:
A popup will appear allowing you to select the first service you’d like to add to your package from your list of existing services. Specify the number of sessions for this service you'd like to include in the package.
If you’d like clients to book this service first when they purchase this package, select the Allow my clients to book this service at the time of purchase checkbox:
This means that the first time a client books a session from their package, they will have the option of booking this specific type of service.
You can select this option for multiple services in your package; however, your client will only be able to choose one of them when booking the package.
Optionally, you can also select Make this booking mandatory at the time of purchase. This will ensure your clients request a session for this service at the time of booking. You can only set this option for one of your package's services.
Adding Programs
Understanding Booking Restrictions
By selecting " Allow my clients to purchase this package" this makes your package public for clients to book on your public bookings page. By selecting " Only I can create packages for my clients" your package will be hidden from your public booking page.
Keep in mind, public/private settings do not apply to Custom Booking pages. If you want a package to be available on your Custom Booking page, you must manually add it. If you want a package to be private on your Custom Booking page, you must manually remove it.
Notification Options
You can customize the default notification we send to clients when you confirm this package. This template will override the template you've set up on your Settings > Notification Preferences page.
Advanced Payment Options
You can set up advanced payment options for your package (e.g. override your default tax setting, require billing information) from the Advanced Options tab of the Add/Edit Package page.
Changing the Displayed Fee
Use this option if you want to highlight a limited-time offer or subscription-style payment plan (e.g. $100 monthly). You are responsible for accurately reporting the fees associated with your service if payment will be collected during the time of booking.
