Package Swap Groups

Package Swap Groups are designed to give salon, spa, and medspa clients greater freedom by allowing them to swap or upgrade services from a predetermined pool when redeeming their packages, improving your average ticket prices and client satisfaction. 

When would a client want to use Package Swap Groups?

There are many situations where a client may want some flexibility in what they can do with package services. For example, the client may like 3 of the 4 services within a package and want to swap out that one service for another. Package Swap Groups allow the client to do just that, choosing from pool of services that you've already preconfigured.

Details on Package Swap Groups

A Package Swap Group allows any service in a client-owned package to be exchanged with or upgraded to another service that is part of the same Package Swap Group.

  • To be eligible for a Package Swap Group, a Package definition must have Can split or swap services or Can swap, BUT NOT SPLIT  services enabled.
  • All services listed in a Package Swap Group can be swapped out evenly for one another, provided a client owns at least one of the services as part of a package. Swapping redeems a prepaid service from the client's package.
  • A service can only be used in one Package Swap Group at a time. This does not apply to Upgraded Swap Services, as those services can still be used as Swap Services in other Swap Groups.
  • If a client is upgrading a service in the register and there are several Swap Groups that might apply to the redemption, Meevo will always select the swap with the lowest upgrade fee.
  • Newly created Package Swap Groups will apply to packages that were already sold. Regardless of when you sold the package, Meevo will always reference all active Swap Groups when determining which of the package's services can be split or swapped.

  4. All services you select in the Swap Services section can be swapped out evenly with one another, provided a client owns at least one of them as part of a package. Choose a service under Select an available service to add and select Add. Repeat this step to add other services.
  5. All services you select in the Upgraded Swap Services section can be upgraded from any of the Swap Services set up in Step 3, provided that the client owns at least one of those services as part of a package.
