Please note!

  • If you make the recurring service paid, the amount that you set as the service price is the total for all the sessions.

It is currently not possible to set single session price for the recurring service packs.
That is why if you have single service and decide to make a recurring booking for it from the admin side/POS interface, its price will not be multiplied by the number of selected sessions.

  • It is not possible to reschedule bookings related to recurring batch with Client rescheduling feature.
  • When a client books a service set as recurring with a certain amount of sessions, the number of bookings that are created at one go equals the number of sessions you have set for such service.
