Set your prices and billing rules

Set what a session costs, when families are billed, what a late cancellation or no-show costs, and how families pay you by hand.

Billing rules decide what a session costs, when families are billed, what happens when plans change and how families pay you. Set them once when you start, and come back when your prices change.

  3. Click Save pricing to keep a draft, or Apply changes and confirm to put the prices in force now.
