Booking Packages

Sell packages of multiple sessions or appointments that customers can book over time.

Use Cases

Depending on your business model, you can choose between:

  • Prepaid balance

  • Fixed-session packages

  • Membership programs

  • Bulk discounts

Packages options

1

Gift Product Package (Prepaid Balance)

Create a “Gift Product Package” that works as a prepaid balance for your customers.

This setup functions similarly to a Shopify gift card: Customers purchase a prepaid amount upfront and can use that balance toward future bookings over time.

This option is ideal for:

  • Gift experiences

  • Wellness balances

  • Flexible prepaid credits

  • Customer loyalty programs

How it works:

  1. Customer purchases a prepaid balance product

  2. The balance is stored as a Shopify gift card

  3. Customer books services through Sesami

  4. At checkout, the customer enters the gift product code to deduct from the available balance

  5. Any remaining balance can be used across multiple future purchases until the balance reaches zero

2

Pre-Booked Session Packages

Customers book and purchase a set number of sessions upfront. Shopify’s automatic discount functionality can also apply discounts at checkout when needed.

For example:

  • Massage sessions

  • Fitness classes

  • Consultations

This is a custom implementation and typically requires assistance from a Shopify developer.

Developers can build this experience using our Dev Docs

3

Membership App Workflow

Use a Membership app together with Sesami bookings

This approach works well for:

  • Monthly memberships

  • VIP programs

  • Member-exclusive booking access

Step 1: Membership Purchase The customer purchases a membership product through Shopify.

Step 2: Customized Shopify Notification Email After purchase, a customized Shopify notification email is sent to the customer that includes a booking link for booking the appointments through Sesami.

Step 3: Booking Through Sesami Customers use the Sesami booking calendar to schedule their sessions or services.
