# Sell a paid session

> Create a paid appointment clients can book and pay for in one go, from setup to sharing the link.

This is the core of most practices: a _60-minute reading_, a _coaching session_, a _reiki treatment_. Clients pick a time, pay, and get everything they need to show up.

## When to use this

- You charge a set price per appointment.
- Clients book one session at a time. (Selling several together? See [Sell a package of sessions](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/sessions/sell-a-session-package).)

## Before you start

Connect payouts so you can be paid. See [Stripe and payouts](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/stripe-and-payouts).

## Set it up

**Step 1: Create the session type**

Go to [Offerings → 1:1 Sessions](https://portal.bringsoul.life/one-on-one) and click New Session
Type. Enter a Session Name, choose a Duration (or Custom duration for something like 75
minutes), and select Paid. Enter the Price (USD) and click Next.

**Step 2: Choose how you'll meet**

Tick Online, In Person or both. For in person, click Next and add the Location Name, Location
Address and Instructions. Then click Create Session Type.

**Step 3: Write the booking page**

Click Edit. Under Session Page Information, add a Headline, a Description of what happens in the
session and who it's for, and optionally a Video URL (YouTube or Vimeo). Click Update. Upload a
cover image on the left.

**Step 4: Set your hours**

On the Availability tab, add time slots for each day you work. See [Set your
availability](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/sessions/set-your-availability).

**Step 5: Assign a host**

In the Staff row, click +, then Add Staff and pick yourself or a team member.

**Step 6: Decide on approval**

New session types wait for your approval on each booking. To confirm bookings instantly, switch
on Automatic Booking Confirmation in the Session details card. See [Approve each booking
yourself](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/sessions/approve-bookings-manually).

**Step 7: Check your policies**

Click Settings at the top to set Allow Rescheduling and Minimum Reschedule Notice (hours). Below
the price on the left, check the Refund policy. Click Update to save.

**Step 8: Share it**

When the *"Not ready to share yet"* checklist disappears, open the … menu and choose Preview to
see the page as clients do, then Share to copy the link.

## Tips

- Changing the price later is safe. Open Edit, change Price (USD) and click Update. Existing bookings keep what they paid.
- Lead with the outcome. In the description, say what someone walks away with, not just what you'll do.
- Offer a gentler entry point. Pair it with a [free discovery call](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/sessions/offer-a-free-discovery-call) or [pay-what-you-can pricing](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/sessions/offer-pay-what-you-can-pricing).
- Members-only or pass pricing. To make the session free or cheaper for pass holders, see [Discount a session](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/sessions/discount-a-session).

**Warning:** 
One price covers every booking. You can't charge differently for evenings, weekends, new vs.
returning clients, or online vs. in person. Create a separate session type for each price instead.

## What your members see

The session card shows the duration, price and format. On the session page they pick a time and click Confirm & Pay. On the Confirm Booking page they check the summary, answer your questions if you attached a form, and click Confirm & Pay again to pay. They then land on their booking page, which says _"You're all set. Your booking is below, and the confirmation is on its way to your email."_, or _"Your booking is below. You'll hear as soon as the practitioner confirms it."_ if you approve bookings manually.
