ONBOARDING PT CLIENTS

This article shows how to add existing PT clients into Fisikal, taking into consideration credits and bookings.

This article describes the process to add historic package purchases to clients and to load future sessions.

This process assumes that your client data is already loaded into Fisikal.

OVERVIEW

Collect your data on the current credit balance for each of your clients, analyse that and then make a manual change to each of your clients to add the correct package, adjust the remaining balance and move any existing appointments into Fisikal.

 

Special step for self-employed trainers

To allow PT client on-boarding to occur in Fisikal for self-employed trainers the packages in Fisikal need to be able to applied to a client as an ‘Offline Payment’ to accurately record an historic purchase. This option is only possible if:
  • the user is a Manager
or
  • if the user is a Trainer and there are no payment method restrictions applied to a package.
Unfortunately the packages created as templates at the start of the implementation of Fisikal for self-employed trainers did have payment method restrictions enabled; this was done to ensure trainers only implemented the Cash and Stripe payment methods on their accounts. So almost all of the packages in the system have the payment method restriction in place.
 
The task of removing the payment method restrictions is easily done, it takes a few moments to do for each package, but must be done one-by-one, there is no pre-existing bulk update option.

Steps for a Trainer to remove the Payment Method restrictions from all of their packages

  1. Log into Fisikal as a Trainer
  2. Click Services > Packages
  3. Edit each package in the list:
    1. Click Payment Information
    2. Under the heading: Allowed payment providers.
      If the button underneath says ‘All providers’ then no action required, Cancel the edit and move to the next package.
      If the button says text like ’2 providers’ then click the button and proceed.
  4. Click the Trash can icon at the top of the Current selection list so that the list is empty.
    1. Click Apply Filter.
    2. The Allowed payment providers button now says ‘All providers’
    3. Click Update to save the package.
  5. Repeat for all packages

Prepare your data

We recommend that you document all of the important information onto an Excel file so that you can keep track of the information and have something to reference when loading this information onto the system. Please click HERE to download a template file.

You will need to record the following information:

  • Client name or Alt ID (so you can look them up easily)
  • Title of the last package they purchased
  • Date they last paid for the package
  • The amount they paid for the last package
  • Go-live credit balance
  • Future bookings for this package
  • Credit balance after all future bookings are applied

NOTE: when calculating the GO-LIVE CREDIT BALANCE value, this will as at the day that you go-live with your bookings for your clients. So if you decide you go-live on Mon 03 Jan for example, you may have existing sessions between now and then. You will need to know what your credit balance will be on the GO-LIVE date. This will take into consideration any past sessions that you have delivered that you have NOT added into the software. We are only interested in recording sessions that were billed and the credit that was deducted from the package balance.

The GO-LIVE CREDIT BALANCE should also take into consideration time as well. So if you are going live on Mon 03 January at 09:00 and your client has a session at 17:00 on the same day. Your GO-LIVE CREDIT BALANCE will take into consideration all sessions that have occurred before 09:00 on Mon 03 January. So the 17:00 session will be deducted from the GO-LIVE BALANCE. 

In the example below, Audrey purchases a 10 pack of PT for £600 on Monday 06 December. She has her first session that afternoon at 16:00 - which means after that she has 9 sessions left in this package. 

NUMBER DATE & TIME REMAINING CREDITS
SESSION 1 Mon 06 Dec, 16:00 9
SESSION 2 Wed 08 Dec, 16:00 8
SESSION 3 Mon 13 Dec, 16:00 7
SESSION 4 Wed 15 Dec, 16:00 6
SESSION 5 Mon 03 Jan, 16:00 5
SESSION 6 Mon 03 Jan, 16:00 4
SESSION 7 Wed 05 Jan, 16:00 3
SESSION 8 Fri 07 Jan, 16:00 2
SESSION 9 Mon 10 Jan, 16:00 1
SESSION 10 Wed 12 Jan, 16:00 0

The GO-LIVE date is set for Mon 03 Jan at 09:00. So the GO-LIVE BALANCE will show 6 remaining credits.

The first session to be recorded in the software will be Mon 03 Jan, 16:00. This will be the 5th session in the package and after this has been booked, Audrey will have 5 remaining credits in this package.

Do remember to take into account the TIME & DATE of the legacy appointments, as this will make it clear how many credits you have to adjust on their package.
