Overview
If you would like to sell a package of hours for use with Marketplace or Customer Purchasing you may use the Configure Session Types page to set up a package. (Not used with agency tutoring)
In Oases you have a choice of how to sell a package. You can create the session type as a 60 minute session and sell ten of them or you can create the session type as a 600 minute session type and sell one of them, but when using Marketplace and Customer Purchasing to sell a package you must create a package.

MarketPlace
Packages are predominantly used with Customer Purchasing and/or Marketplace. These are advance purchasing options and should not be used in conjunction with a customer that has a credit limit and is invoiced using invoice outstanding. Should you wish to switch to advance purchasing then create a final invoicing outstanding invoice so that there are no sessions outstanding and remove the customer credit limit.
Scheduling Flexibility
If not using one of the above automated features it may be more flexible to sell 10 of your regular hours at a reduced rate for the reason stated below.
The reason this is more flexible is a student needs to be on a session with the same session type as has been purchased. Therefore, if you have multiple packages such as a 10 hour and a 6 hour, those students will not be able to be scheduled on a session together.
Using one session type of an hour and selling 10 and changing the rate to reflect any discount prevents this issue.
