Package vs single booking
Package booking sells multiple sessions upfront as credits; single booking charges one visit at a time—different retention and cash-flow profiles.
In practice
Single-appointment tools optimize calendars and per-visit payments—great for ad-hoc demand. Package-first workflows optimize prepaid credits, repeat booking without checkout friction, and visit verification. Barbers, therapists, and tutors with repeat clients often earn more predictable revenue with packs. Choose software that matches how you actually sell—not just how you schedule.
