Using/Applying Package Credits

If the customer has a package on their account, you can use these credits to check out their reservation.

  1. Add the reservation to the cart by clicking the drop down menu next to their name from the dashboard and choosing Add to Cart.

  5. Next, you'll press the Check Out button at the bottom of the page to complete your checkout. If you are only using packages to check out (you have a $0 balance in the cart after applying), use the No Payment payment method to check the transaction out. Otherwise, you'll take actual payment for any items left in the cart (services, retail items, etc).

If the customer wants to buy a package and use one of the new package credits to check out their pet:

  1. Sell the customer the package by following the instructions in the first section above.
  2. Use the Quick Check Out feature on the Dashboard. Click the shopping cart icon and click on the available package to use credits.

    The shopping cart icon beside the pet's name will have a little down-arrow on it, indicating that Quick Check Out is available for this reservation.

FAQ: Check this out!

How do I know how many package credits a customer has?

From the business side of the Gingr app:  

  1. Navigate to the customer's Owner Page by using the Search box at the top of the app.

  2. On the Owner's page, scroll down to the bottom to find Packages. In the Remaining column, see how many credits remain on each package. You can also click View History from the Actions button to view a detailed history of transactions for the used package credits.

The wrong price is showing up in the cart when I use a package credit.

Package credits are like vouchers. Regardless of what a customer pays for the credit, that doesn't change the price of the service at checkout.

So, for example, you may sell a 10 day pass for daycare for $250, which means that each credit costs $25. However, this does not change your base price for daycare, which is $30.  

Therefore, when you check a customer out for their daycare reservation, the charge will come up as $30 and the package credit (voucher) will negate that charge by applying negative $30, regardless of what the customer paid for the individual credit.

This behavior can be changed by configuring the package type to calculate pricing rules for the parent reservation.
