Use e-gift cards to sell packages. This allows you to to see remaining balance.
I recommend my clients add the full value and discount the sell of the e-gift card.
example:
60 Minute Facial - $100
package of 6 - $600 value
15% discount: $90
add $600 to an eGift card.
apply 15% discount.
Client pays $510 but $600 is loaded on to the e-gift card and stored on their profile like a card on file.
when transacting future appointments add the 60 minute service to the checkout. And use the e-gift card to process the payment. No discount is applied at this time because the discount is already on the e-gift card.
this also keeps your financial reporting accurate since money is not earned income until the transaction is completed. I recommend setting up a envelope in square for gift cards / packages and transferring the funds into that savings envelope and moving it into your primary checking as the services are redeemed. This ensures proper financial management as well.
