When a customer purchases a package, credits are added to their account balance. This guide explains how to view and track package credits for your customers.
How Package Credits Work
Purchase - Customer buys a package (online or through staff)
Credit Added - Package credits appear in customer's account
Booking - When booking an appointment, customers can use package credits
Credit Deducted - One credit is deducted per service used
Balance Tracking - System tracks remaining credits automatically
Viewing Customer Packages
To see a customer's package balances:
Go to Customers & Pets
Click "Manage" on any customer/pet
Click the "Packages" tab (shows a badge with the number of active packages)
The Packages Tab
The Packages tab displays all package purchases for that customer as individual cards. Each package card shows:
Header Information:
Pet photo - Visual identifier
Package name - Full package title with emoji (if included)
Purchase number - "Purchase #1", "Purchase #2", etc. (for repeat purchases)
Purchase date - When the package was bought
Pre-paid badge - Shows how many credits were included (e.g., "5x Pre-paid")
Remaining status - "5 of 5 remaining" or "0 of 5 remaining"
Visual Credit Tracker:
The card displays a unique "rubber stamp" system showing each credit:
Purple circle stamps π£ - Available credits ready to use
Green checkmark stamps β - Credits that have been used
Show dates toggle - Turn on to see the date each credit was used
This gives you an instant visual of how many credits are left and when they were used.
Action Buttons:
Each package card includes four action buttons:
1. π
Book now
Opens the appointment booking form with this pet and service pre-selected
2. π§Ύ Receipt
Generates and downloads a receipt for the package purchase
3. π History
Opens a detailed transaction log showing:
Purchase transaction (e.g., "+5 uses | Cash")
Each use transaction with date and appointment details
Business name where purchase was made
4. β Buy More
Quick shortcut to purchase the same package again
New Package Button:
At the top of the tab, there's a green "New" button to purchase additional packages for this customer.
Multiple Purchases of Same Package
Customers can buy the same package multiple times, and each purchase is shown as a separate card:
Purchase #1 (3 Oct) - 0 of 5 remaining - Fully used
Purchase #2 (10 Oct) - 4 of 5 remaining - 1 credit used
Purchase #3 (17 Oct) - 5 of 5 remaining - All credits available
Purchase #4 (20 Oct) - 5 of 5 remaining - All credits available
Purchase #5 (20 Oct) - 5 of 5 remaining - All credits available
Petboost keeps them separate so you can:
Track which purchase credits came from
See different purchase dates
Handle refunds for specific purchases
Maintain separate expiration dates (if applicable)
Collapsed vs. Expanded Cards
To save space, fully-used packages (0 remaining) appear collapsed at the bottom of the list:
Collapsed view - Shows package name, purchase number, date, and remaining count
Click to expand - Reveals full details including stamp tracker and action buttons
Active packages (with remaining credits) are always expanded
This keeps your view focused on packages customers can still use.
Package Indicators Throughout the System
Look for these package-related badges across the app:
π£ Purple "Package" badge - Appointment uses package credits
Tab badge - "Packages 1" shows how many active packages the customer has
Credit count - "5 of 10 remaining" shows usage at a glance
Pre-paid badge - Green badge showing total credits included
