What is a Package?
Packages consist of Products and Services that are often bundled together. Packages can also contain other packages. Learn more about packages here.
When you add a package to a contract, you can list all its contents or show only the package title.
Your pull sheets will always include all contents so your team knows exactly what to pull.
Adding a Package:
Navigate to Inventory > Packages. A window of information will pop up.
Add a Name and select a Category
After adding the Category and Sub-Category for your Package, choose if you want to price your package through Daily, Hourly, Flat Fee, By Contents (All), and By Contents (Client Visible). Read the section on Package Pricing below for more information.
Click "Create" to save the package to your inventory and proceed to the "Details" tab.
Package Pricing
In addition to pricing by Daily, Hourly and Flat Fee, Packages support two additional methods of pricing: By Contents (All) and By Contents (Client Visible). Flat Fee Pricing is ideal for scenarios where the package price remains constant, regardless of its contents or rental duration. This pricing method emphasizes price stability and simplicity. Daily Pricing, on the other hand, allows the package cost to increase with additional rental days, catering to extended usage scenarios.
Both of these options allow you to derive the price of the package based on the contents of the package. The difference between the two is that “By Contents (All)” will calculate the price of the package based on ALL items included (regardless of visibility), where as “By Contents (Client Visible)” will calculate the price of the package based only on the items the clients will see on their contract/invoice.
Said another way, a package priced by all items, won't change as you hide items. A packaged priced by client visible items, will change as you hide items. Use Case Examples:
Flat Fee: A wedding package priced at $1,000, independent of included items or rental period.
By Contents (All): An event furniture package that dynamically updates pricing based on included items.
By Contents (Client Visible): A catering package where the client only pays for visible menu items.
Daily Price: A photography equipment package that accrues cost for each additional rental day.
Some important notes when pricing packages by its contents:
The taxes for a package will be calculated based on the tax settings of its contents.
You can only apply a percent (%) discount to the package. However, you can add either percent (%) or fixed dollar ($) discounts to any of its contents.
Percent of Order and Percent of Line Item Group items will still apply to the whole order or line item group — they are not scoped to the package itself.
Hourly items will use the default values you enter when creating the package. But you can still adjust them on the contract itself.

Decision-Making Guidelines
For Fixed, Unchanging Prices: Use Flat Fee.
For Dynamic, Content-Based Pricing: Use By Contents (All) or By Contents (Client Visible), depending on whether all contents or only visible items should affect the price.
For Rental Durations Affecting Prices: Use Daily Price.
For Combining Daily Price and Visibility Needs: Use Daily Price with Priced by Contents, as appropriate.
