If you choose, you can add a welcome video or a PDF document about the coaching package in the "Content" tab. Remember that everyone who buys the product will have access to what's in the content tab. Some examples of what to include are a workbook, welcome video, or a PDF guide on how they can prepare for their upcoming sessions with you. Do not put client videos into this product as they will be visible to everyone who has access to this product.

Pricing
In the pricing tab you can set the price as Free, Fixed, or Recurring. Do not check Day Pass or Trial.

Free : will give the product for free

Fixed : the student will one be charged once. Check Multiple Purchases so students

can manually repurchase any time.
​ Recurring : the subscription will renew charged based on the chosen interval

There are 3 different pricing strategies under Recurring.

Fixed: the subscription renews but no additional sessions are added.

Add : a fixed number of sessions are added every time the subscription renews.

Top-up : only as many sessions used are added.

Product Schedule

If you set the price to Fixed - add the number of days they have access to their recordings.

For Recurring Strategies, access will be based on their subscription.
​

Private Sessions

Under "Private Sessions", select "Included" and enter how many sessions are included in this package.


Under "Enable Acuity Integration", select "Enabled" and enter the Acuity calendar name.
​


​Summary Tab

Status: Set as "Published" when ready to make it visible on your shop page.
Shop visibility: Set as "Show in Shop" if you want it to appear on your shop page.

Enrollment: Open


​IMPORTANT: make sure you have MULTIPLE PURCHASES checked. This allows customers to buy a private session package more than one time.

Step 4: Working with Private Space Products

When the student purchases a coaching package product, a "Private Space" product will automatically be generated using the client's name as the product name.

You'll find each of the client's private space products in your "Products" tab under "My Products". Scroll to the bottom section called "Private Space Products" as shown in the screenshot below.


After you work with a client via live-stream, you will put the live-stream recording or any other content specific to this client in the "Content" tab of their "Private Space Product". What you put in the content tab of this product will only be visible to this client.
​

NOTE: Make sure that Acuity's reminder emails do not contain a Zoom link.
​

HOW TO LIVE-STREAM WITH YOUR STUDENT

When it's time to meet with your client, go to the Marvelous "calendar", find and click on the correct session. A pop-up will appear and you can choose to use your Zoom (requires paid Zoom and integration) or the broadcast technology (either way, your client will be able to join the session you start and you will see them when they join).
