How-toModule: Memberships & passesChecked against the app on 1 October 2026

A plan is anything a member can buy from you: a monthly membership, a 10-class pack, a drop-in or a free trial. The plan sets the price, how it is billed, how members can leave or pause it, and which bookings it covers. Plans live under Products → Plans.

What's included

Under Services, choose All services, Selected services or No services (access only). Then pick How bookings are covered:

OptionWhat happens when the member books
IncludedThe booking is free. Add a Visit limit per day, week or month if you need one.
With creditsEach booking uses one credit. Credits are either Renewed every period or For the whole plan.
Member price onlyThe member pays, with Member discount % off.

Discount on other services % gives members a discount on services the plan does not cover. Add personal training adds your trainer lessons to the covered services. Members can book ahead (days) gives members a longer or shorter booking window than your Business default.

When a member books a covered service, Nola applies the plan automatically: an included booking or a credit makes it free, a discount lowers the price. If a member has more than one plan, an included plan is used before credits, and credits before a discount. Cancelling a booking in time gives the credit back.

Who can buy it

Set a Minimum age, Maximum age and People covered for family plans. Tick Only once per client (intro offer) for trials. Sold online shows the plan on your booking page when it is visible to everyone; Sold at the desk offers it in Sell a plan.
