__FORCETOC__
[[File:Packages icon.png | left]]
With the Packages custom feature you can create a package of multiple services, or, if you also sell additional items, combine services with products, add-ons, and [[Special:MyLanguage/Custom_Features#Classes |classes]]. Clients can buy packages on your booking page or with Simplybook.me’s [[Special:MyLanguage/Custom_Features#Point_of_Sale | POS feature]]. Each package can be defined with some general items limit and any number of services and products, and you can set the validity to any period available. Once clients have purchased a package, they can book a service at any time paying with their package credits. They can always check how many occurrences are left within each package.
