How do I set up a free or promotional package?
Give free sessions with a zero-price package - no payment, no invoice.
A free package gives a member free sessions with no payment and no invoice — useful for a promotion, a trial, or a complimentary offer for someone who isn't on a paid membership.
Create the free package
- Go to Settings >> Packages >> Create New.
- Give it a clear name (e.g. "Valentine's Special – Free Session").
- Set the price to 0 and the number of sessions (e.g. 1).
- Turn Display on App and Display on Widget OFF so members can't self-purchase it.
- Assign the package manually to each qualifying member (or non-member) from their profile.
The member can then use the free sessions to book, at no charge and with no invoice raised.
⚠ Every Octiv profile needs a unique email address — non-members can't share one, so ask for a personal email when setting up profiles for an event.
Not what you need? If a member already has an active membership and you just don't want a booking to use up one of their sessions, see How do I set up a free class?
