Overview

App and Embed users can now purchase a session package priced at $0 without being required to store a credit card. This update streamlines the checkout process for free packages, making it easier for clients to redeem promotional offers without unnecessary payment steps.

Key Benefits

1. Frictionless Checkout for Free Packages

• Clients can purchase $0 session packages without storing payment details if auto-renew is disabled.

2. Seamless Promotional & Trial Offers

• Studios can offer one-time promotions or trial packages with a smoother sign-up process.

3. No Payment Details Needed for Fully Discounted Packages

• Clients applying a 100% discount to a paid package will not need to enter payment details if auto-renew is disabled.

4. Auto-Renew Ensures Future Payments

• Users must still provide a payment method if a package has auto-renew enabled, ensuring future payments can be processed.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Auto-renew requires a stored payment method – If a $0 package has auto-renew enabled, users must still provide a payment method upfront, as payment details cannot be collected at renewal.

• Limited payment options for auto-renewing $0 packages – Promo codes, account credits, and gift card redemption will not be available on the payment screen when a $0 session package has auto-renew enabled.

• Memberships are not included in this update – Memberships will always prompt for a payment method, regardless of price or discounts.
