# Bundles and allowances on longer or shorter bookings

> Make a 30 min booking use half a session from a bundle or membership allowance, and a 2 hour booking use two. Set per length, in halves.

Who can do this: admins only.

By default every booking uses one session from a [bundle](/docs/bundles) or a [membership's free sessions](/docs/membership#session-allowance), however long it is. If your session has [lengths](/docs/session-lengths), you can make a short booking use less and a long one use more - half a session for 30 minutes, two for 2 hours.

## Choose how much each length uses

<Steps>
<Step>Open a session on the [Sessions page](/go/admin/sessions) and go to **Prices & offers**.</Step>
<Step>At the bottom, under **Who can book this without paying full price**, click **More options**.</Step>
<Step>Under **How much a booking uses**, pick a choice beside each length, such as **30 min uses: Half a session**. Choices run from half a session to 4 sessions, in halves.</Step>
<Step>Save the session.</Step>
</Steps>

A session without lengths has one choice, **Each booking uses**.

The choice only shows on a session where a bundle, a gift voucher or a membership's free sessions can be used. If you don't see it, check **Who can book this without paying full price** in the same panel.

**Let the prices suggest it.** When a length's price is a simple share of another's, a hint offers the match - "£10 is half of £20 - use half a session?". Select it to apply.

Bookings already made keep what they used. A change applies to new bookings only.

## How each kind of credit is used

- **Memberships.** A booking is covered by free sessions in full or not at all. If a booking uses 2 and the member has 1 left, they pay the member rate, or the standard price if the tier has none, and keep their 1 for another booking.
- **Bundles.** The balance covers as many whole spaces as it pays for, and the rest pay. With 3 sessions left on a length that uses 2, a booking for 2 has one space covered and one to pay.
- **Gift vouchers and loyalty rewards** always cover one space, whatever the length.

If a length uses more than a tier's whole allowance - 2 sessions on a tier with 1 a month - those members can never use free sessions on it. The editor warns you when that happens.

## What customers see

The session page says how much a booking uses, such as "uses half a session", and balances show in halves, such as "2.5 sessions left".

You can set a customer's balance in halves too: under **Issued bundle credits**, select **Edit** on their credit and open **Balance**.

## Common questions

1. **Can one length use half and another use 2?** Yes. Each length has its own choice, so a 30, 60 and 120 minute session can use half, 1 and 2.

2. **Does this change a bundle's price?** No. A bundle still sells the same number of sessions. Only how quickly bookings draw it down changes.

3. **A member has 0.5 left and wants a 60 minute booking.** It uses 1, so free sessions don't cover it. They pay the member rate, and the 0.5 stays for a 30 minute booking.

4. **Do reports count spaces or sessions used?** Attendance and revenue count spaces. Redemption rates count sessions used, so a half shows as 0.5. [CSV exports](/docs/csv-exports) have both.

5. **Can I set this on one date only?** No. It's set per length for the whole session, like the prices.
