Selling a Membership
In patientNOW's Cloud Version 7.0.182, we've added new functionality to allow you to track Membership Discount Programs.
Our Example Plan
- is named the "Loyalty Platinum" plan
- costs the patient $60 per month OR $600 per year
- provides the patient a 15% discount on all Obagi or Skinceuticals Skin Care Products purchased during the membership period
- provides the patient a 20% discount on laser hair removal
- provides the patient a $25.00 discount on Signature Facials
In order to being using a Membership plan, it must be configured in Administration. For additional information, check out Configuring Memberships.
