About This Tutorial
With rate packages, you set up how much and how often your students will pay you. You can create any number of these to fit the needs of your music studio.
When you charge per months(s), Duet by default will auto charge your students at the beginning of each month. This auto charge happens whether any lessons took place or not.
Note: You want to create your rate packages before adding any students, because you cannot add a student unless you assign them a rate package.
There are 4 ways to setup a package:
Per lesson
Per week(s)
Per month(s)
Per semester/term
This tutorial will walk you through creating a rate package that charges once per month and one that charges every 3 months. Once you create a rate package you can assign it to as many students as you need.
Go to Your Rates Tab
Click on your name > Settings. Located at the top right corner of the webpage.
You are taken directly into your Studio tab by default.
Click on the Rates tab.
