Which Booking Software Has Built-In Treatment Plan Features?
11 of 15 platforms offer treatment plans & packages. 4 do not.
Treatment plans in salon software span two things: a genuine client-visible treatment plan — a personalised, phased programme the client can follow — and the commercial wrappers around a course of treatments: memberships with recurring billing, prepaid session packages, and service bundles. Bella Booking offers all four. You build a living treatment plan on the client record (overview, phases with timeframes, recommended services and homecare products) and publish it to the client's online-booking portal, where they book the next treatment and buy their products straight from the plan — a capability few mainstream salon platforms offer at any price. Alongside it: memberships with automatic Stripe billing across 9+ frequency options, prepaid packages with online purchase and redemption, and service bundles with flexible pricing — at a fraction of the price of Zenoti or Boulevard, with no enterprise sales process.

Frequently asked questions
- Which salon software has the most flexible membership billing?
- Bella Booking offers 9+ billing frequencies: weekly, fortnightly, every 3 weeks, every 4 weeks, monthly, every 6 weeks, every 2 months, quarterly, and annually. Vagaro also offers 9 frequencies. Boulevard offers 6. Most other platforms are limited to monthly and annual billing only.
- Can clients purchase memberships online?
- With Bella Booking, clients purchase memberships directly through your online booking page and manage their membership (view plan details, track included sessions, check billing date) through the My Membership portal. Mangomint also offers a client portal. Most other platforms require in-person membership sign-up.
- What is the difference between memberships and prepaid packages?
- Memberships charge a recurring fee on a schedule (e.g. monthly) and typically include ongoing benefits like included sessions or discounts. Prepaid packages are a one-time purchase of multiple sessions at a discounted rate (e.g. buy 5 facials, get 1 free). Bella Booking supports both — memberships with automatic Stripe billing and prepaid packages with online purchase and redemption.
- Can I bundle multiple services into one treatment package?
- Yes. Bella Booking's service bundles let you combine multiple treatments into one bookable package with flexible pricing — set a total price, apply a discount percentage, or offer the bundle for free. Enable "Show Savings" to display the discount during online booking. Bundles can run services simultaneously with different team members when appropriate.
- Which booking software lets clients see their treatment plan online?
- Bella Booking publishes each client's personalised treatment plan to their online-booking portal — the client sees their phases, books a recommended treatment straight from the plan, and buys the homecare products you recommended. Among mainstream salon platforms this is rare: most stop at memberships and packages, and consultation notes stay internal. Clinic-specific EMRs offer internal care plans, but a client-facing, bookable plan built into the booking flow is Bella Booking's differentiator.
- Do treatment plan features cost extra?
- With Bella Booking, client-visible treatment plans, memberships and prepaid packages are all included on the Professional plan ($79/mo AUD) with no add-on fees, and service bundles are available on every plan. Some competitors charge add-on fees — Phorest charges custom pricing for memberships, GlossGenius restricts them to the Gold plan ($56/mo), and Boulevard includes memberships on every tier but charges extra for forms and charts below Prestige ($455/mo) and reserves shared memberships for Premier and above.
