Sell coaching packages that book themselves
The simplest way to sell a coaching package is to take payment once and let the client spend one session credit per booking. CalendarPA session packages do exactly that: you set the number of sessions and the price, the client pays upfront, and each booking uses a credit until the package is spent.
Create a package
- Open Packages and create one: a name, the number of sessions, the price and, if you want one, an expiry.
- Choose the booking types it pays for. Each booking uses one credit unless you set more, for a longer session for example.
- Choose what happens when a client cancels: the credit always comes back, comes back with enough notice, or does not.
- Share the package link. Clients pay once, then book each session from your booking page.
A worked example
A coach sells an eight-session package for a single upfront price and links it to a 60-minute coaching call. The client buys it, books the first call, and has seven credits left. A cancelled call more than 24 hours ahead returns its credit; a later one does not. The package expires six months after purchase.
Details worth knowing
- Clients pay through Stripe, Square, PayPal or Stax, into your own account.
- Clients can book sessions ahead for as long as they have credits. Each session is booked on its own.
- When you cancel a session, the credit always comes back.
- Credits left when a package expires lapse, and clients get a reminder before it does.
Packages are on Pro and Business. Paying with credits and a card on the same booking is Business only.
Frequently asked questions
How should I price a coaching package?
Most coaches price a package below the same number of single sessions, which rewards the commitment. CalendarPA lets you set any session count and price, so you can sell several sizes side by side.
Can clients book all sessions in advance?
They can book ahead as long as they have credits, one session at a time. You set how far ahead anyone can book on every plan, and on Pro you can cap how many bookings a booking type takes per day, week or month.
What happens to unused sessions?
They stay on the client’s balance until they are used, or until the package expires if you set an expiry. Credits left at expiry lapse.
Can clients pay for several months at once?
Yes. Sell a package with enough sessions for the period, or a fixed series of recurring sessions paid in one checkout.
Which payment providers work?
Stripe, Square, PayPal and Stax. CalendarPA takes no fee or commission on payments you collect. Only your payment provider's own processing fees apply.
