Sell Appointment Packages, Memberships, and Subscription Plans
Create a package in Finance → Packages as either a session count (for example 10 classes, one credit per booking) or a dollar balance (for example $500, with each service's price deducted).
Clients buy it on your booking site's packages page, paying through Stripe or PayPal for one-time packages. To run a membership or subscription plan, make the package recurring: it bills weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly through Stripe (not PayPal or Square), and you choose whether unused credits roll over. When the client books, they redeem credits at checkout, and they can check their balance in the client portal. You can see each package's subscribers and adjust credits by hand when needed.
On Pro and Business, sell prepaid packages of sessions or a dollar balance, and recurring packages that bill weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly through Stripe, so memberships and subscription plans run from your booking site. Explore All Features.

How It Works
Packages & Memberships — SchedulingKit
Example step 1: Create the membership
A yoga studio on Pro creates "Monthly 8-Class Membership": 8 session credits, $120, billed monthly through Stripe, with unused credits not rolling over.
Example step 1: Create the membership
Step 2: Client buys online
A new student opens the studio's packages page, subscribes with a card, and 8 credits are added to her account.
Step 2: Client buys online
Step 3: Book with credits
She books Tuesday's 6pm class and redeems one credit at checkout instead of paying. Her portal now shows 7 credits left.
Step 3: Book with credits
Step 4: Renewal
Next month Stripe bills her $120 again and her credits reset to 8. The owner checks the subscriber list to see who is active.
Step 4: Renewal
Packages & Memberships Best Practices

- 1
Price packages a little below the per-session rate so clients have a reason to commit.
- 2
Use session packs when your services cost the same, and dollar balances when prices differ.
- 3
Decide up front whether recurring credits roll over, and say so in the package description.
- 4
Tell clients where to find their balance: the client portal shows it at any time.

Deposits & Upfront Payments
On Standard and above, require a deposit or full payment when clients book, per service, through Stripe, PayPal or Square. Clients commit money up front, and your cancellation deadline decides how late they can still cancel themselves.
Group & Class Booking
Group event types in SchedulingKit let several people book the same session up to a capacity you set, with remaining spots shown on the booking page, so classes and workshops fill themselves.
