Feature Request: Create packages including multiple services via Square Appointments

[Buffalocryo]

The title of this post has been edited from the original: How to schedule multi packs with Square Appointments?

Hoping to find some help here.  We offer a service that clients can pay for and book appointments online. Great. The problem is that there are discounted packages if multiple treatments are purchased at one time, if this option is chosen, the client is only able to schedule one appointment as opposed to multiple separate appointments for each of the treatments they purchase.  Is there a way to make this work? Thanks in advance.

Hello @coriumesthetics!

As a workaround you could use recurrning invoices with Square Appointments for a package, and view the number of invoices remaining in the series. However, you can't images to a recurring invoice series, I'm sorry!

Another workaround is to create a single service for package deals you offer but you'd need to track the number of sessions completed manually. You could ask customers to contact you directly for packages, and then schedule each session in the package deal as a separate appointment to ensure clients are charged for each session.

I'm adding your post to this thread where other sellers are interested in using Appointments to create and manage packages. We'll update the status to give you a heads up about any developments on this feature request.

As for your question about marketing by text - you might like to subscribe to this separate thread for updates!

Yep! While we don't have a way to automatically apply discounts when customers book more than one service, you can create bundles as individual services. For example if you are a personal trainer, you can list 5 sessions at the discounted price as one appointment. 

When your customer comes in for their first appointment, you then can manually book their next, or all upcoming, appointments through your Appointments Dashboard. In your client information section of Dashboard you have the ability to add notes and view past appointments so you can keep track of their remaining appointments even if the schedule one at a time!

I'm putting my name on here for update. I really want to switch to Square for appointments and such as I have been with Square for a really long time. I won't switch until packages are available. About 90% of my sales are in packaged services. I run a massage business for post cosmetic surgery. My clients buy 6 - 12 sessions at a time and often they are done via an online purchase and they book themselves. I don't want to keep track manually. I will continue to use Wix and Schedulicity until Square catches up. And BTW I hate the Wix booking system, but they do have packages or series.

when it takes 6 years for the development team to address an issue that so many people are asking for, it is a message that they are NEVER going to do it.  but there are a few options that don't work, but involve more fees to square that you can try, listed below
