Sell a pack of drop-in visits from your own website. Families pay by card and the visits land on their account.

What a visit pack is

A visit pack is a set number of drop-in visits, bought once and used over time. One visit is used when a child checks out, whatever the visit would have cost. A pack can expire a set number of days after it is bought, or never expire.

A pack is not a prepaid balance. A prepaid balance is a dollar amount that pays each bill before the card. You can sell both, and families see both on the same page.

1. Make the pack

1. Open Money, then Contracts & plans, then Packages & credits.

2. Select New package.

3. Fill in Package name (for example, Date Night 5-Pack), Credits (the number of visits) and Price.

4. Set Validity (days) if the visits should expire. Leave it empty and they never expire.

5. Set Ownership. Shared by a family lets any child in the family use the visits. Owned by one child ties them to one child.

6. Set Spent on to Drop-in visits and Sold as to A one-time purchase.

7. Select Create.

Creating a pack sells nothing. It starts as a draft, hidden from families.

2. Put it on sale

1. On the pack's row, select Activate.

2. Then select Show to families.

A pack shows on your Buy page only when it is both active and shown to families. Hide from families takes it off the page and leaves every pack already bought alone.

3. Copy your Buy link

At the top of Packages & credits (and of Money → Prepaid balance) there is a card called Your online Buy page. Select Copy link and paste it on your website. The link looks like this:

https://bloomily.app/go/your-center/balance

One link covers everything you sell there: your prepaid balance and your visit packs.

If you do not see that card, your Buy page is not switched on yet. Ask Bloomily to turn it on.

What the family sees

Anyone can open the page and read what you sell, without signing in. Each pack shows its name, the visits and the price, what each visit works out to, when the visits expire, and who may use them. Buying asks the family to sign in first.

A family pays by card. If your center passes the card fee on, the fee is shown before they pay and the total is what the card is charged. The visits are added as soon as the payment goes through, and the family gets a receipt for the bill.

Families who already hold a pack see how many visits are left and the date they run out, on the same page.

If a family cannot buy

The page says why instead of showing a button that will not work.

• "This center has not switched on online purchases yet." Package sales are off for your center. Turn them on from Packages & credits.

• "We don't see your account at this center yet." The family is not on your roster. Add them, or have them sign up.

• "We don't see a child on your account at this center." The pack belongs to one child, and this parent has no child here they are allowed to buy for.

• No billing access. The parent is on the family but is not allowed to handle money for it.

Packs you sell at the desk

You can still sell a pack yourself. On Packages & credits, use Record purchase to make one draft bill, or choose Comp — issue at no charge to give one away. If the family pays you now, choose Paid with cash or Paid by check. The bill is marked paid and the visits are ready right away. Nothing is charged to a card, and no email or text is sent.
