Prepaid package

A prepaid package (session pack) is a bundle of visits sold before service delivery, tracked as credits clients spend when they book.

In practice

In solo service businesses, a prepaid package lets you collect revenue before delivering work—reducing no-shows and smoothing cash flow. Clients buy a defined number of sessions (often with a bonus visit), receive credits in their account, and book open times without paying again at checkout. Each completed visit is typically verified so staff and clients share one balance record. NextSessio (launched 2026) treats prepaid packages as the default product—not an add-on—at $29/month with 0% NextSessio platform fee on client payments (Stripe processing applies).
