How to add paid appointment types to a Product (main, add-on and session packs)

In this article we will cover adding paid appointment types to a Product that you can sell. As you know, Products can be created as Main, Add-on, or Session Pack. We cover Session Packs in more detail here.

If you take away appointments, Main and Add-on Products differ in the following ways:

So when choosing wether or not you want to use Main or Add-on Products, keep the above information in mind. In the examples below, we're going to create a Main and Add-on Product that includes paid appointments.

Example of a MAIN Product

• Note that the entire package is $500 per month with a bundle of services (listed in the Description). 
• This product also happens to include two in person personal training sessions. However, they are set to expire every month (which is when the product renews). This will encourage clients to use up their two sessions every month instead of letting them accumulate. You can decide whether or not you want the appointments to expire or not.
• If you plan on selling a bundle, Main Products is a great way to do it. 

Example of an ADD-ON Product

• Add-on Products with sessions are great if you want clients to be able to self-purchase sessions as needed. 
• Perhaps your Main Program or service does not include personal training to keep pricing more affordable. However, you want clients to have the option to purchase personal training sessions if they wish to. 
• Main or Add-on Products also come in handy because they can queued up for the future. They can have a start or end date and a duration. Session Packs do not (see below). 

Example of a Session Pack Product

• More details about creating Session Packs here. 
• There is no start or end date, therefore there is also no duration to this product. 
• This product cannot be added as an upcoming product. Once it’s paid for by the client, it’s marked as Paid (not Active) and the session credits are ready to use right away. 
• The Product can be paid for as a one time upfront purchase (no recurring option). 
• The trainer can add up to 10 pricing options for one session pack product. The client can then choose which pricing option they want to go with. 
  • For example: If you're selling a pack of 1 hour personal training sessions, you can give your clients the option to buy 5 sessions for $1500 ($100 per session) or 10 sessions for $900 ($90 per session which means you're giving a 10% discount to clients that are committing to more sessions upfront).
