Practice Better lets you create "empty packages" for services that don’t require scheduling, such as blood work orders or downloads. To set this up, add a Package, give it a name, set a fee, and optionally add a description. When clients book this package, they’ll skip the appointment steps and go straight to payment, allowing them to access your offerings without scheduling.

How to Create a Non-Scheduled Service
Here's how you can set up a service that your clients can purchase and access instantly.
- Go to My Practice > My Services.
- Click the Fast Action Button in the bottom right corner and select Add package.
-
When the package setup page opens, you'll want to:
- Set the package name to match your service offering (for example, "Blood Work" or "Nutrition Guide Download")
- Add the fee that clients will pay for this service
-
Include a description (optional but recommended) that clearly explains what clients will receive.
💡 This description is your chance to set clear expectations - your clients will appreciate knowing exactly what they're purchasing.
-
After clicking Save near the top-right, Practice Better will display a prompt asking about session scheduling. Since you're creating a non-appointment service, simply click Continue to proceed without adding any scheduled sessions.
What happens when clients book this empty Package
Once your empty package is live, here's the streamlined experience your clients will have:
- When clients visit your Bookings Page and select this offering, they'll bypass the typical appointment scheduling step entirely. Instead, they'll be directed straight to payment (if you've configured fees and payment settings).
This creates a smooth, professional experience like purchasing any other service online.
