Bookly Packages (Add-on)

Transform your appointment booking system into a powerful revenue-generating engine with the Bookly Packages add-on. Designed for businesses that offer recurring services or bundled sessions, this extension allows you to sell service packages directly through your WordPress site. By enabling customers to purchase multiple sessions upfront, you not only secure guaranteed revenue but also foster long-term client loyalty and simplify your scheduling workflow.

Key Features

• Flexible Package Creation: Effortlessly group different services into a single package. You can define exactly how many sessions of each service are included, giving you complete control over your offerings.
• Automated Session Tracking: Eliminate manual record-keeping. Bookly automatically tracks the number of remaining sessions for each customer, ensuring that clients can only book up to the limit of their purchased package.
• Seamless Checkout Integration: Customers can purchase packages during the standard booking process. Once a package is acquired, the system automatically applies the credit to their account, allowing them to book subsequent appointments without needing to pay again.
• Customizable Validity Periods: Encourage timely usage by setting expiration dates for your packages. This helps create a sense of urgency and ensures your calendar remains active and predictable.
• Client Account Management: Provide your customers with a transparent view of their remaining balance. Clients can easily log in to their profile to see how many sessions they have used and how many are still available.
• Staff and Service Flexibility: Configure packages to be applicable across specific services or staff members, allowing you to tailor your bundles to match your business model perfectly.

Use Cases / Who It’s For

The Bookly Packages add-on is an essential tool for any service-based business operating on a recurring model. It is particularly effective for professionals who want to move away from single-appointment transactions toward a more stable, subscription-like revenue stream.

Personal trainers and fitness coaches can use this plugin to sell 10-session training blocks, ensuring clients commit to their fitness journey while securing upfront payment. Salons and spas benefit by offering “pre-paid” bundles for services like massages, facials, or haircuts, which encourages repeat visits and increases customer lifetime value. Similarly, tutors, music teachers, and consultants can utilize packages to manage semester-long or project-based engagements, simplifying the administrative burden of invoicing for every individual meeting.

If your business model relies on repeat clientele and you find yourself spending too much time tracking who has paid for which session, this add-on is designed to automate that friction away, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent service rather than managing spreadsheets.

Setup / How It Works

Setting up the Bookly Packages add-on is designed to be intuitive for any existing Bookly user. Once the add-on is installed and activated alongside the core Bookly plugin, you can begin creating your bundles immediately.

1. Create the Package: Navigate to the Bookly settings menu where a new “Packages” tab will appear. Here, you can define the package name, the total number of sessions, and the specific services included.
2. Define Constraints: Set the validity period—such as 30, 60, or 90 days—to ensure your clients utilize their sessions within a timeframe that suits your business operations.
3. Configure Visibility: Choose which services or staff members are eligible to be booked using the package credits.
4. Customer Purchase: When a customer selects a service that is part of a package, they will be presented with the option to purchase the package during the checkout flow.
5. Automatic Deduction: Upon booking, the system checks the customer’s active package balance. If credits remain, the booking is confirmed without requiring further payment, and the balance is automatically decremented.

Similar Plugins

While Bookly Packages is specifically designed to integrate natively with the Bookly ecosystem, other appointment scheduling solutions offer similar functionality for their respective platforms. These include the Amelia booking plugin, which features a built-in package and bundle system, and the LatePoint plugin, which also provides options for managing service credits and recurring appointments. If you are not already committed to the Bookly platform, these alternatives provide comparable features for selling bundled service sessions.
