Global packages are packages created at the parent level and are automatically included in all child accounts. This streamlines the setup process, eliminating the need to configure identical packages across multiple accounts repeatedly. This article will walk you through creating global packages and identifying them at both the parent and child levels.
Things to know:
- Packages added at the parent level will be visible on all child-level accounts. However, if the location and price are not specified, when viewed from the child's account, the package will not display a price
- When accessing from the child account, you can solely modify the pricing for the package
- Global packages cannot be deleted at the child level
- You can create global packages with either an expiration date or for an indefinite period
- Global packages can include a combination of multiple services, products, and classes
- Global packages can be made available for purchase online through the booking widget, scheduler app, and guest app
- When purchasing packages online, clients can buy multiple packages in various quantities if the packages are set up for all family members or pets. This feature is controlled by a hidden setting that only the MyTime team can enable. To activate this setting, please contact our Support Team at support@mytime.com. Please note that if the "Can only be purchased once per client" option is enabled during package configuration, the ability to purchase multiple quantities will not be available.
- At the child level, local packages will be marked with the local icon, while global packages will be identified by the global icon
- A package is marked as "used" once the ticket is closed or after the appointment/class session is completed, whichever occurs first
- After a package is used, it can only be refunded if the "Allow refunding packages even after they have been used" setting is enabled
- If the price of an item covered by a package is $0, the package will not apply to the item unless the "generate bundle purchase usage for items with price $0" hidden setting is enabled
