General information settings

Below are all the general information settings available when creating or modifying a package.

Setting

Description

PACKAGE NAME

The name of the package. This is viewable by clients and is a required field.

UPLOAD IMAGE

Click to upload an image to represent the package in the store and on client profiles after the purchase.

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION

The description of the package. This is viewable by your clients, so it should be both descriptive and creative, but brief. This isn’t a required field, but it is highly recommended.

ACTIVATE ITEM

Click to activate or deactivate the package.

  • Set the ACTIVATE ITEM option to ON to activate the package and allow clients to purchase it.

  • Set the ACTIVATE ITEM option to OFF to deactivate the package and prevent clients from purchasing this package.

    • When this option is set to OFF, the following options are available:

      • DEACTIVATE ON – Click the date field and select a date from the calendar when the package will deactivate. This date will override the expiration date set in the package’s advanced settings.

      • USABLE BY CLIENTS WHO ALREADY PURCHASED – Set this option to NO and click OK to prevent clients who have already purchased this package from booking services with this package.

    • If the date selected under Choose expiry date has passed, the ACTIVATE ITEM option is automatically set to OFF. The ACTIVATE ITEM option can only be set to ON again if you select a later date under Choose expiry date in the advanced settings for the package.

Notes:

  • If you deactivate a package and make it unusable for clients who have already purchased it, any memberships within the package are canceled for those clients. Clients’ canceled memberships can’t be reactivated and must be purchased again.

  • If you allow clients to continue using a deactivated package that they have already purchased but the only remaining item in the package is a product, both the product and the package will become inactive after 30 days. This overrides the expiration date set for the package.

SELECT WHICH ITEMS TO INCLUDE IN THIS PACKAGE

The services that can be booked with the Purchase Options. The options are:

After adding the items to your package, you can also modify the package.

  • To add a discount, click Add discount under the item name and enter a dollar value or percentage discount.

  • To modify the quantity, click Add quantity under the item name.

  • To create a new item or Purchase Option to add to the package, click ADD under the selected Purchase Option service category.

  • The total price of the package, including any discounts, is listed next to TOTAL PACKAGE PRICE. Details about the individual price of each item are listed below.

After Expiration

This setting determines what happens after the package expires. You have the following options:

  • Do nothing – All items in the package will expire.

  • Auto-Renew and do not cancel current package contents – New copies of all items in the package will be sold to the client after it expires.

  • Auto-renew and cancel current package contents – All the old items in the package will be canceled and new copies of the items will be sold to the client after the package expires.

    • If your package includes event bookings, these bookings are not canceled upon auto-renewal.

Additional options are available when either of the Auto-Renew options are selected:

  • Enable client control – Clients can opt out of the package auto-renewal. The option to opt out is only available on the Client Portal and can’t be accessed on the Achieve Client App.

  • Disable client control – Clients can’t opt out of the package auto-renewal.

If you modify the expiration behavior of a package that has previously been sold and try to save your changes, a confirmation popup is displayed with the following options:

  • Apply to previously sold Purchase Options – If this option is set to ON, your changes will be applied to packages that clients have purchased, and the following option will be displayed:

    • Apply to previously sold and edited Purchase Options – If this option is set to ON, your changes will be applied to packages that clients have purchased and that have been individually modified.

The confirmation popup also displays the total number of clients affected by this change. Click the number to display a list of all affected clients.

Note: For packages that include memberships, keep the following information in mind:

  • Clients with packages set to expire will be prevented from booking services beyond the package’s expiry date, even if the package includes a membership with unlimited visits set to auto renew. By default, the client will be bound to the package’s expiry date.

  • To avoid double billing clients for memberships or session passes that are included in an auto-renewing package, we recommend selecting the Auto-renew and cancel current package contents option.

    • If you only want a specific Purchase Option within a package to automatically renew, set the membership or session pass to automatically renew after a specified duration. Then remove automatic renewal from the package by selecting the Do nothing option under After Expiration and the Does not expire option under Select Expiration.

  • Sale date – The package will activate on the date the package is purchased.

  • Choose a date – The package will activate on the date chosen.

Note: Start dates of memberships within packages will take precedence over package start dates.

Select Expiration

Determine how and when the items in the package expire. This expiration date will take precedence over any expiration dates on individual items within the package. Your choices are:

  • Does not expire – The items in the package do not expire.

  • Expires [duration] [time period] after sale – The package will expire after the specified amount of time after the package is sold.

  • Choose expiry date – The package will expire on the selected date.

    • When the package expires, the ACTIVATE ITEM option is automatically set to OFF.

    • If the package has expired before it has been sold to a client, you can only change the ACTIVATE ITEM option to ON after you update the expiry date under Choose expiry date.

    • If the package has expired after it has been sold to a client, you can’t set the ACTIVATE ITEM option to ON. To sell this session pass again, you must create a new package with the same settings.

Purchase Restrictions

The purchase rules for the package:

  • Only staff can sell this Purchase Option makes the package only sellable by staff members using the Staff Back Office.

  • Client can buy online allows clients to purchase the package through the online store.

    • Select All clients to buy online to allow any client who meets the client type or group restrictions to buy this package online

    • Select Only clients with Direct Buy URL can buy online to restrict online purchases to clients that have been given a direct buy URL.

  • Available to all clients makes the package available to any of your clients.

  • Introductory offer for new clients only makes it so that clients with an active account in your business can’t purchase this package.

  • Available to selected client groups or types only lets you select the client types and client groups whose members can view and purchase this package in your store. You can select as few or as many as you need from each menu.

Package Attendance Restrictions

Determines whether the package has an attendance restriction, which restricts the number of available visits in a package to a specific period. The package attendance restrictions will take precedence over the settings of the memberships and passes included in it.

For example, a package can have an attendance restriction that only allows a maximum of five visits every month.

  • No attendance restriction – Clients can use the package as many times as they want while it’s active.

  • Apply attendance restriction – Clients can use the package a maximum number of times during a specific number of days, weeks, months, or years.

    • Click the Add or Remove buttons to add or remove additional restrictions.

    • Set the maximum number of visits permitted during a specific number of days, weeks, months, or years.

    • Select when the restriction is applied:

      • Attendance restriction is applied at the start of the calendar cycle starts the restriction based on the calendar (e.g. June 1-30 for a monthly package)

      • Attendance restriction is applied at the start of the payment cycle starts the restriction when the auto-payment period begins for the client.

Applying rollovers

  • If you select Enable session rollover, you must choose what happens to the rollover sessions:

    • If you don’t want rollover sessions to expire, select Rollover sessions do not expire.

    • If you want rollover sessions to expire, select Rollover sessions expire after and set the amount of time the sessions will remain active.

      • Example: a package with a monthly attendance restriction is set up so that rollover sessions expire after three months. The package starts in January and there were four unused visits left on January 31. These four rollover sessions will expire on April 30.

    • If you want unused visits to carry over after the package auto-renews, set the Rollover sessions upon auto-renew option to ON.

      • When unused visits are carried over after a package auto-renews, the original attendance restrictions set for the package will no longer apply to them.

    • To limit the number of unused visits that will carry over, set the Limit number of rollover sessions option to ON and enter the limit for the number of rollover sessions.

      • Example: a package has a monthly attendance restriction with a maximum of five visits that can carry over. If the client has six unused visits at the end of the month, they will lose a session.

      • If you choose not to set a limit, clients can accumulate an unlimited number of rollover sessions.

    • If you’re customizing an individual Purchase Option and you select Enable session rollover, you can only set the rollover start date before the purchase date if the package hasn’t auto-renewed yet and the package’s start date is prior to the purchase date. Once the package auto-renews, you can’t set the rollover date range to any date prior to the purchase date or the start date that you set for the package.

Note: If a Purchase Option has Apply attendance restriction and Enable rollover sessions selected, there will be no marker on the client’s Passes & Memberships page indicating which visits on the Purchase Option are rollover sessions.

Contract

Select whether the client must agree to a contract before purchasing the package. Your choices are:

  • No Contract – The client doesn’t need to agree to a contract.

  • Clients must agree to a contract – The client must agree to a contract. Enter your contract in the text field.

Notes

  • Clients won’t be required to sign a contract for packages that were imported into WellnessLiving.

  • If you modify a package’s existing contract, when you save your changes, you will receive a Contract update popup that will notify you if you’re updating the contract for a Purchase Option that some clients have previously signed. In this popup, there will be a Require clients to re-sign the contract option. Setting this option to ON will make it mandatory for clients to re-sign the contract if they already own this package.

  • If a package that has a contract associated with it is set to auto-renew, clients won’t be required to re-sign the contract each time the package automatically renews.

  • If a package contains Purchase Options that require separate contracts, clients will be required to sign a single contract that includes the content of both the contract for the package and the contract for each Purchase Option. To ensure clients know which Purchase Option each part of the contract is associated with, we recommend including the contract variable [PurchaseOption] at the beginning of each contract.
