# Day passes
> Set up day passes payment method for hot desks, and sell day passes with recurring subscriptions or one-time packages
Day passes are a payment method for booking hot desks. With the help of day passes you can:
* Sell flexible access plans, such as "10 day passes per month" or a "20 day passes per 3 months".
* Sell one-off day pass packages
* Let the system handle automatic member balance reduction upon each booking
* Give expiring or non-expiring day passes to customers as a promotion.
## Set up day passes
1. Click the (...) menu next to your location name on the left-side panel.
2. Go to **Location settings** > **Resources** > **Desks**.
3. Enable "Day passes" and [configure "Usage limit".](/resource-management/set-up#desks)
4. If you have multiple locations, [set cross-location day pass](/billing/credits-and-day-passes/cross-location) usage.
5. Go to the **Desks** page and [add your hot desks.](/resource-management/set-up#desks)
* Enable the "Day passes" switch to let members book this desk with day passes.
* [Set monetary price](/resource-management/set-up-pricing-for-resources) for nonmember bookings or if members run out of day passes.
Only resources with the "Hot desk" type can be booked with day passes.
## Sell day passes to customers
### With recurring plans
1. [Create](/billing/plans) or [edit](/billing/plans#edit-or-delete-a-plan) a plan.
2. Add a specific number of day passes to it.
3. Once users [sign up for a plan with day passes](/billing/plans/immediate-sign-ups) or administrators [create a subscription](/billing/subscriptions) for them, they receive day passes to their balance.
4. They use day passes to book a hot desk on the **Desks** page on the dates they visit the space. The system automatically reduces their balance.
5. Any unused day passes expire at renewal and the new balance accrues.
6. If a subscription ends or is canceled, all remaining day passes expire.
### One-time packages
Offer to purchase non-recurring day pass packages for customers who need additional or occasional usage.
1. Create standalone [**packages**](/billing/credits-and-day-passes/credit-packages).
2. Members can discover and purchase them on **Membership > Day passes.**
3. They receive day passes immediately upon purchase and can use them until the package expiration date (if there is any).
1 day pass is the cost of 1 desk booking regardless of duration.
Only members can receive, purchase and book with day passes. Nonmembers book and pay for the hot desks with money.
You can also manually give day passes to customers or [manage a customer’s day pass balance](/billing/credits-and-day-passes/manage-day-pass-balance), if needed.
**FAQs**
If a user customer to book one day pass for a specific date, they must book a hot desk directly on the **Desks** page and pay the required monetary amount. Meanwhile, if they want to buy multiple day passes, they can:
* Sign up for a recurring plan with day passes, or
* Purchase a one-off package of day passes.
It depends on whether you want to give the user a dedicated desk or allow flexible access:
1. **Dedicated desk:** [Assign one seat to the customer](/resource-management/rentals/track-resource-rentals-with-assignments) in the "Assignments" section of their subscription. This desk becomes theirs exclusively, reducing overall desk availability. They won’t need to book it daily, and others won’t be able to use it.
2. **Flexible access:** Provide the customer with 365 day passes in their subscription and ask to check in by booking a desk each day they visit, using one pass from their balance. This allows the desk to stay available for others when they’re not using it.
When a member's subscription expires, managing their day passes becomes not possible because day passes are directly tied to an active subscription. Once the subscription ends, day passes expire as well.
To regain day passes, your member can [re-subscribe](/billing/plans/immediate-sign-ups) to a plan that includes them, or you can [create a subscription](/billing/subscriptions) for them.
You can invite this customer as a member and add one or a few day passes for free to their balance.
Alternatively, [**create a coupon and promo code**](/guides/use-coupons-&-promo-codes) and enable the “Limited by first purchase” setting, then add the desired discount for all or a specific desk in your app. Give the promo code to the customer. They can [**redeem their discount**](/billing/discounts/redeem-for-bookings) directly at checkout when booking a desk in your member portal.
5. Any unused day passes expire at renewal and the new balance accrues.
6. If a subscription ends or is canceled, all remaining day passes expire.
### One-time packages
Offer to purchase non-recurring day pass packages for customers who need additional or occasional usage.
1. Create standalone [**packages**](/billing/credits-and-day-passes/credit-packages).
2. Members can discover and purchase them on **Membership > Day passes.**
3. They receive day passes immediately upon purchase and can use them until the package expiration date (if there is any).
