How to process a course in salon

On SalonIQ go to, Client Search > search for client (using search function) > select client > Accounts.

The accounts section shows the history of all course transactions. This can be found on the Course History section within the Accounts sub-section of the client card. This will show how many course treatments are available to the client.

  • Future Courses - Displays the remaining treatments left to use
  • Course History -  Displays each treatment within the course that has been used.


How do clients purchase a course online?

Your course will show on your online booking portal. You will need to have a Stripe account set up for your clients to purchase online. Once the client has selected and paid for their course, they can then go ahead and book the service. The service will show as prepaid when booking online. 


How do I use a session for the course?

To use one of the course treatments on account, you must book the individual service that is linked to the course package, this will then deduct one of the remaining course treatments from the account.

Example

You would book a single Blow Dry service, if the client has X6 Blow Dry Course Package.

Each time a service is used from the package it will reduce the 'remaining balance on the client's record card.

Once the client has used all remaining course treatments, the Future Courses info tab will display 0 remaining.
