Designed to help you maximise revenue and build client loyalty, packages allow you to bundle services and offer exclusive deals. Creating custom packages help you grow your business, and gain valuable insights into what your clients love. In this guide, you will learn how to sell a legacy package.
Important note: this article is focused on our legacy packages feature, and is different to our new updated packages. If you wish to start using packages in your business, see our help guide Frequently asked questions (FAQs): Timely Packages (New) for more information on what has changed.
When a package is sold to a customer an invoice is raised and a payment is applied or put on account. This means the package will appear in the reporting when it was sold rather than when it is redeemed by a customer.

Head to the customers page and open their record. Then, from the packages tab click the issue package to customer button.
2

Timely note: once you have raised the invoice, you can then email it to the client, print a copy, apply a payment or even request online payment. Packages can be sold directly from the calendar or added to an existing invoice the same way as products can be, as long as there is a default limit set for that package.
