Booknetic is a WordPress booking plugin with service packages: bundles such as 10 massages plus 5 yoga sessions sold at one price. The customer buys the package once, then books each session when it suits them, and Booknetic keeps count.
Packages sit on the Service step of the booking form next to single services, with the old price struck through, the package price and the list of what is inside.

What the Packages add-on does
- Bundle services with quantities. Pick the services, set how many sessions of each the package contains and give it a name, an image and a description. A package can be limited to certain locations.
- One price, a visible discount. The Price tab shows the sum of the services and you type the package total. The difference is shown as the discount on the package card.
- Sell it in the booking form. Public packages appear on the Service step. The customer selects one, enters their details, pays and lands on a Finish step where they can schedule the first sessions right away.
- Sessions booked over time. In the customer panel, the Packages tab shows a progress bar such as "3/5 booked" and a "Schedule now" button for each remaining slot. The service is preselected; the customer picks staff and time.
- Private packages. Mark a package private and only staff or admins can book it for a customer, for deals you quote in person.
- Admin control. Package Bookings lists every purchase with its status and progress. Edit the paid amount or payment status, view the booked sessions, or create a package booking for a walk-in customer.
How it works
- Open Packages in the Booknetic menu and click Add Package. Fill in the Details tab: name, image, optional expiration, allowed payment methods and locations.
- On the Services tab pick the services and set the number of sessions for each. On the Price tab enter the total price.
- The customer buys the package from the booking form and pays online or by local payment. Until a package is paid, no sessions can be booked from it.
- The customer books each session from the Packages tab in the customer panel, or an admin books it from Package Bookings. A deleted session returns its slot to the package.
- Use the "Package booking created" workflow trigger with shortcodes such as {package_name}, {package_services} and {package_booking_expires_on} to send a confirmation.
Single service per session. Package sessions are booked one at a time, so the Cart step is not used for them, and recurring services cannot be put inside a package. The customer and the services of a sold package cannot be changed afterwards.
The Packages documentation walks through the admin screens and the customer panel tab.
