Active packages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great news: you already have two <a href=\"https:\/\/paperbell.com\/support\/knowledge-base\/packages\/#default-packages\">default packages<\/a> ready to go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A&nbsp;<strong>Free Discovery package<\/strong>&nbsp;with 1 x 30 min session<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A&nbsp;<strong>$100 Breakthrough package<\/strong>&nbsp;with 1 x 60 min session<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can edit those packages and <a href=\"https:\/\/paperbell.com\/support\/knowledge-base\/packages\/#create-a-package\">create new packages<\/a> &#8212; or just stick with those first two packages and add as you go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Check availability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your account will already have default availability, but you may want to edit or <a href=\"https:\/\/app.paperbell.com\/provider\/shifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">add availability<\/a>, so clients can book time with you once they&#8217;ve got one of your packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Optional (but encouraged) steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/app.paperbell.com\/provider\/account\/edit_payment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Connect Stripe or PayPal <\/a>(so you can get paid quickly &amp; easily)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re only selling free packages, you don&#8217;t need to hook up a payment processor. But once you&#8217;re ready to charge for your work with clients, you&#8217;ll need to connect Stripe or PayPal to your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/paperbell.com\/support\/knowledge-base\/calendar-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Connect your Google, Outlook, or Apple <\/a>calendar (so you\u2019ll never be double-booked)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it! After you\u2019ve completed these 2-4 steps, you can start sharing your homepage URL (<a href=\"https:\/\/app.paperbell.com\/provider\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can find the link here<\/a>) so that clients can buy packages and book time with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how you can buy a package of 10 yoga classes, then use their booking software to book the actual classes whenever you like? Your clients do the same with Paperbell! Your client pays for a package up-front, then goes into the system to book the actual sessions. It\u2019s up to them if they\u2019d like to go ahead and schedule everything ahead of time, or log back in and schedule when they\u2019re ready for their next session. When they purchase through Paperbell they will create their own client account, just like you do at a yoga studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures that you get paid up front, instead of chasing down invoices. If you prefer that your clients pay as they go, you can create single-session packages for your clients to keep re-purchasing whenever they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overview\">Brief Overview of The Entire App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appointments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out your <a href=\"https:\/\/app.paperbell.com\/provider\/bookings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appointments page<\/a> to see an upcoming list of all your appointments.
