Packages

A package bundles several services into one purchasable item at one headline price — “Photos + Floor Plan + Property Website” as a single choice instead of three the agent has to assemble. Packages are how you make booking a no-brainer: most agents don’t want to build an order line by line, they want to pick “the good one” and move on.

How packages work

A package lists the services it includes, each with a quantity. When a client picks the package, all of those services come as a set, and the services inside it aren’t charged again on top. They can still add other services around it — a package plus a one-off drone add-on, for example.

Package pricing

A package has its own price, which you set — it isn’t calculated automatically from the services inside. You get the same two pricing options as a service:

• Flat — one fixed price for the bundle.
• Priced by property size — size bands, exactly like a size-based service, so a bigger home pays more for the same package.

Because you set the price yourself, the bundle discount is wherever you decide to put it. When a package comes out cheaper than buying its contents à la carte at the client’s property size, Spatiko shows a “you save $X” badge on the booking page. That figure is calculated for display only — it’s there to make the value obvious to the agent and never changes what’s actually charged.

Setting the price by hand (rather than “sum minus 10%”) also keeps your prices clean — round, confident numbers instead of odd totals with stray cents.

Configurable items

Within a package, you can let the client adjust certain included items — for instance, choosing which photo-count variation they want as part of the bundle. Mark an item configurable and the client gets that choice at booking; leave it fixed and the package stays exactly as you designed it.

Taxable packages

A package has its own taxable setting, and it governs the whole bundle rather than the individual services inside it. Leave it on if the package is taxable where you operate, or switch it off if it’s exempt. Rate setup lives in sales tax.

When to use a package

• Anchor your menu. Two or three well-named packages (“Essentials”, “Premium”, “Luxury”) give agents an easy, confident choice and quietly steer them toward the middle or top option.
• Reward bigger orders. Price the bundle below the sum of its parts so agents self-select into a larger shoot — and the savings badge does the selling for you.
• Target a niche. A rental package, a builder package, a Zillow-showcase package — pair a focused package with its own order form for that audience.

Retiring a package

Like services, packages can be deactivated to hide them from booking without deleting them — the safe way to pull a seasonal or retired bundle while keeping your order history intact.

Tips

• Name packages by outcome, not contents (“Guest Magnet”, “Luxury Premier”) — the contents are listed underneath anyway, and an outcome name sells.
• Keep the count low. Three packages plus à-la-carte services usually outperforms eight overlapping bundles that leave agents comparing instead of booking.
• Make the middle package the obvious pick. Price and scope your tiers so the one you most want to sell reads as the best value.

Go deeper

• Services & pricing models — build the services a package bundles, with flat, size-based, and variation pricing.
• Order forms — put a focused package in front of the right audience on its own booking page.
• Promo codes — discount a package at checkout without rewriting its price.
• Revenue & service performance reports — check which bundles actually sell before you add a fourth.
