Hi @DjGeekusa,
To set up a package that bills a client at an hourly rate, you can create a new package in the Package Menu. Here are the steps to follow:
1. **Package Name** : Choose a client-friendly name that clearly describes the service.
2. **Service** : Select the appropriate service category (e.g., DJ).
3. **Pricing & Duration** :
- Set the **Standard Price** for the base hourly rate.
- Choose **Rate Type** as “Hourly” to ensure the package is billed by the hour.
- You can also specify an **Overtime Rate** if applicable.
Make sure to fill out the **Package Description** with compelling marketing copy to attract clients!

Hi @DjGeekusa,
It looks like you’re trying to create an hourly rate package, but you’re not seeing the “Rate Type” option. According to our documentation, the “Rate Type” field is indeed available in the Pricing & Duration section when creating or editing a package. This field allows you to select from options like Hourly, Half Hour, 15 Mins, and more.
If you’re still having trouble locating it, please ensure that you’re in the correct section of the package creation menu. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out, and our team will be happy to help!
