Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can an ongoing client discount help with client-specific pricing?
Yes. If most clients should pay the standard service price and some clients need a lower rate, set the standard price on the service and add an ongoing discount to the specific client profiles. For example, if the standard service price is $200 and a client should pay $180, add a $20 ongoing discount to that client's profile.
This approach keeps one service available for bookings while Zanda applies each client's profile discount to their invoices.
❓ Will the discount apply when clients book and pay through the Client Portal?
Yes. An ongoing discount on the client profile is included when Zanda creates invoices for appointments booked through the Client Portal. If your Client Portal settings require payment at the time of booking, Zanda calculates the booking payment from the discounted service amount.
For example, if a service is priced at $200 and the client has a $20 ongoing discount, the Client Portal payment amount is based on $180 before any applicable tax or card processing fees.
❓ Can clients buy Session Packs through the Client Portal?
Client Portal bookings use services for online appointment payment. If you use Session Packs, create or assign the Session Pack in Zanda, then apply it to the client's appointment or invoice after the booking is made.
