Turn hours into packages.
Selling time by the hour caps your income and makes every sale a negotiation. Packages fix both.
Single session
The entry point. Price it so you would be happy if every client only ever bought this.
Four-session package
Discount slightly against four single sessions and ask for payment up front. Clients get momentum and you get predictable income.
Monthly retainer
A fixed number of sessions or messages each month for one monthly price. It suits clients who need ongoing support rather than one fix.
Done-for-you project
A fixed scope and fixed price: an audit, a logo sprint, a strategy document. Write down what is included and how many rounds of revisions you allow.
Deposit or full payment
Take full payment at booking for single sessions. For projects over a few hundred dollars, take half to start and half on delivery.
A coach's month: 12 orders, $3,060.
An illustrative month for a coach who sells three offers.
| Offer | Price | Orders | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single session | $120 | 8 | $960 |
| Four-session package | $400 | 3 | $1,200 |
| Monthly retainer | $900 | 1 | $900 |
| Total | 12 | $3,060 |
67% of the orders are single sessions, but the two larger offers bring in 69% of the revenue. That is why packages and retainers deserve a place on the page even if fewer people choose them.
What that month costs on a store platform.
| Platform | Total per month | Subscription | Platform fee | Card processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tapmy Pro | $121.34 | $29 | $0 | $92.34 |
| Stan Store Creator | $121.34 | $29 | $0 | $92.34 |
| Beacons Creator Plus | $122.34 | $30 | $0 | $92.34 |
Services sell in small numbers at higher prices, so platform fees barely differ between tools. Choose on workflow: how clients book, pay and reschedule, not on a few dollars a month.
Card processing is counted at Stripe's US rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per payment wherever a platform charges it separately, Tapmy included.
How to set your price per session.
Start from the income you want. To earn $6,000 a month from 20 sessions you need $300 per session before costs and tax. To earn it from 12 orders like the example, the average order has to be $500.
Most people underprice because they compare themselves with an hourly job. Price against the result the client gets and the alternatives they would otherwise pay for.
When Tapmy is not the right pick for services.
You invoice companies on net-30 terms
Checkout is built for payment up front. If clients need invoices, purchase orders or contracts, an invoicing tool belongs in the middle of that process.
Signed contracts are the heart of the sale
If every engagement starts with a negotiated agreement and an e-signature, use a proposal tool for that step and a store for the packages that need no negotiation.
Prices and fees checked . Competitor figures come from each company's own pricing pages unless a source says otherwise.
Your questions,
answered.
Offer a single session, a four-session package at a small discount, a monthly retainer and, if it fits, a fixed-scope project. Put the prices on the page and ask for payment up front.
Full payment at booking for single sessions and packages. For projects over a few hundred dollars, half to start and half on delivery. Write the policy on the page so it is agreed before the client pays.
No. Tapmy takes 0% of sales for both, and card processing applies either way. 12 service orders totalling $3,060 cost about $121.34 in a month on Pro, including Stripe processing.
