Session packs that renew by themselves

A recurring session plan is a pack of sessions your client buys once that renews by itself after their last session has ended, at the price they signed up for. CalendarPA plans run through your own Stripe account, never renew on a calendar date, and give your client one link to book, check what's left or cancel.

Set one up

  1. Open Bundles and create a bundle for one paid, one-on-one booking type on your Stripe account.
  2. Turn on Renews automatically.
  3. Share your booking page the way you always do. Your client pays for the first pack when they book their first session.

What your client gets

  • One plan page, from one link, to see how many sessions are left, book the next one, or cancel.
  • A reminder from CalendarPA when they have sessions left and nothing booked.
  • The same price and the same number of sessions each time the pack renews.

Why it renews after the last session, never on a date

A subscription charges on the 1st whether or not your client came in that month. A CalendarPA plan waits instead. If your client takes a month off partway through a pack, the next charge waits with them.

What you see

  • An email when a plan starts, renews or is cancelled, and when a card is declined.
  • Where each client is in their plan, right on the booking, like Plan 2/4.
  • The option to stop one plan with a short note to your client, or every plan on a bundle at once. Your clients get the same refund either way.

Thank you

Thanks to Heather from Vickery & Co. for asking for this one.

Frequently asked questions

Can my client cancel?

Yes, any time, from their plan link. Before they confirm, they see exactly what they'll get back. The unused part of their last payment is refunded, and sessions already booked stay booked.

What if a card is declined?

Your client gets an email with a link to update their card, and you get a heads-up. CalendarPA tries again over the next week. If it still can't charge the card, the plan pauses until they update it.

Which payment providers work?

Stripe, for now, into your own account.

Does it work for group sessions or teams?

Not yet. A plan covers one paid, one-on-one booking type.
