# Package items

> Set the sessions or minutes in a package, and the services they cover.

Items are what's inside a package. Each item gives the customer an allowance — a number of sessions or an amount of time — and lists the services it can be used for. A package needs at least one item before customers can buy it.

Open a package from **Settings → Catalogue → Bundles**, then select **Bundle Items**.

## Add an item

  <Step title="Open Bundle Items">
    On the package, select **Bundle Items**, then add an item.

    Complete the fields below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">

  </Step>

## Item fields

| Field                                      | What it's for                                                                                                                             | Required |
| ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| **Item name**                              | A name for this item, such as "Driving lessons".                                                                                          | Yes      |
| **Allowance type**                         | **Sessions** — a number of bookings. **Minutes** — an amount of time used across bookings.                                                | Yes      |
| **Number of sessions** / **Total minutes** | How many sessions, or how many minutes, the item gives.                                                                                   | Yes      |
| **Allowed services and variants**          | The services this item can be booked against. Tick a service, then tick which of its variants count.                                      | Yes      |
| **Allocated price (incl. tax)**            | How much of the package price counts towards this item. Across all items, this should add up to the package price. It's used for refunds. | No       |

## How allowances are used

As the customer books a service listed in an item, their allowance goes down:

* **Sessions** — each booking uses one session.
* **Minutes** — each booking uses up minutes equal to the length of the variant booked.

When the allowance reaches zero, or the package's [validity period](/set-up/service-packages/create-a-package) ends, it can't be used any more.

<Warning>
  For a **minutes** item, make sure the variants you allow can use up the minutes evenly. If you give 100 minutes but only allow 60-minute variants, 40 minutes can never be used. The platform warns you when the numbers don't work out.
