Create an add-on package

FAQ

If I update my package templates, will it affect current clients on that package?

No. Edits to a package template won’t change current clients using that package template for a payment plan or recurring invoice. To update your current client packages, manually update their invoice in Projects >> Invoices.

Will deleting a package template remove it from the proposal form?

No. Deleting old package templates won’t delete the package from your proposal form. Clients may still buy the package and the package will appear in the client’s invoice.

To remove old packages that you no longer want to offer new clients, delete the package in Templates >> Packages AND remove the package in Templates >> Proposals.

How do I add a discount?

Go to Templates >> Packages >> Discounts >> Add Discount to create a discount code. See how to create discounts.
