Create and edit packages

With packages, you can sell a set combination of experiences, accommodations and extras as a single bundle. All packages have a set guest count (1-person package, 2-person package, 3-person package, etc.).

Note: Check that your website theme supports packages. The latest version of Nomadic is the only standard website theme that’s currently compatible with packages. If you’re unsure, get in touch at support@easol.com.

How to create a package

Before creating a package, make sure to familiarise yourself with how packages work and create all the elements that you’re planning to include in your package, including experiences, accommodations and extras.

1. Go to Sell > Packages and select Create package.
2. Fill out the basic information about your experience: 
   1. Name – Give your package a catchy title. 
   2. Tagline – Provide a snapshot of your package. Keep in mind that this will be displayed on other pages of your site, so make it short, sweet, and enticing for people to want to click.
   3. How many guests is this package for? - Set the guest count for the package. Make sure all variants and extras in the package cover the guest count. 
   4. Image – Upload an image that best represents your package. We recommend using a high-resolution image in landscape format. 
3. Click Save.
4. Next, if the package comes with specific items, add them as Included elements. Otherwise skip to the next step.
   1. Click Set included elements.
   2. Select the applicable variants and extras. 
   3. Adjust the quantity as needed. 
   4. Click Save.
5. To allow customers to choose between different options in a package, add a booking journey step:
   1. Select experience options or accommodation options.
   2. Fill in the Step title and Step description.
   3. Click Set experience/accommodation options and select the applicable variants and extras.
   4. Optionally, toggle Make this step required to ensure customers make a selection at the step. If left inactive, customers can skip to the next step. 
   5. Required steps also have the option to set an Included value. When enabled and a customer selects an option above the included value, the difference will be added on top of the package price.
      • Note: Included value is split between the total guest count (per person) or duration (per night) in the case of accommodations. For example, if the included value for a 2-person package is $1000 and the customer selects a hotel option that’s valued at $250 per night, there’ll be an extra $125 cost per person with a total of $250 added cost. For more details, check out examples of packages.
   6. Optionally, toggle Require that customers select enough for every guest to ensure customers select enough for exactly the guest count of the package. 
   7. If you’re adding an accommodation option, you also have the ability to Set fixed nights so that customers have to book between specific dates for their stay.
   8. Click Save.
6. Continue adding booking journey steps as needed.
7. By default, the pricing of the package is set as the sum total of included elements, plus costs from booking journey steps. To set a fixed price for the package, click Edit next to Pricing in the sidebar, select Set a custom price and then input the price amount.
8. Create the welcome email for your package by clicking "Creating a package welcome email" under the Settings panel in the bottom right corner.
   
   • Only one welcome email can be created per package. If a package welcome email is set up and published, customers who purchase that package will receive the package welcome email instead of the welcome email for the individual items.
9. Publish the welcome email.
10. Your package is now created! To make the package available for purchase, click Edit next to Visibility in the sidebar and select Selling. Click Save. For more information, learn more about package visibility.
11. Finally, display the package on your website so that customers can view and book it.
