Pricing and additional options
This page is about pricing settings inside one specific service. Here you manage:
- the main pricing options of the service;
- prices by location and by employee;
- consumables attached to a specific pricing option;
- additional group options;
- "Corporate card companies" for group services;
- "Check-in pricing" for a "Check-in service".
When to use this page
- When you configure the price and duration of a service.
- When one service has more than one pricing option.
- When the price differs by location or by employee.
- When you work with a group service and need separate group options.
- When you work with a "Check-in service" and need to configure entry, included minutes, and stay charging.
What is not on this page
- this is not the bulk-edit screen for many services;
- this is not the main service-creation form;
- this is not the page for package services.
For bulk changes, use Manage service prices.
Which services this page is for
This page is most important for:
- single services;
- group services;
- check-in services.
For package services, the logic is different because pricing is built from the services inside the package. For that, see Package services.
How pricing options are organized
The key idea is that the system works with levels, not with one single price.
1. The main pricing option of the service
For single and group services, the "Pricing options" section defines:
- how long the option lasts;
- which price type it uses;
- the base value;
- whether you show an old price;
- whether the option has its own name.
For a "Check-in service", the same section works as a tariff setup:
- "Billing duration";
- "Time charge for billing duration";
- "Old price (optional)";
- "Price option name".
What one pricing option contains
For a single or group service
For each pricing option, you can configure:
- "Duration";
- "Price type": "Fixed amount", "From", "Free";
- "Price";
- "Old price (option)";
- "Price option name".
This is suitable when the same service has variants, for example a different duration or a different base price.
For a check-in service
For each pricing option, you see:
- "Billing duration";
- "Time charge for billing duration";
- "Old price (optional)";
- "Price option name".
You do not choose a standard "Price type" here. The price is organized around entry and time spent inside.
Check-in pricing
For a "Check-in service", each pricing option also includes a dedicated "Check-in pricing" section.
There you can configure:
- "Entry fee amount";
- "Included minutes";
- "Rounding";
- "Grace minutes";
- "Maximum charge minutes (optional)".
In practice, this means:
- "Entry fee amount" is the one-time amount charged already at "Check-in";
- "Included minutes" are always deducted before the stay charge is calculated;
- "Grace minutes" are extra minutes after the included time that are not charged;
- "Rounding" rounds billable minutes up;
- "Maximum charge minutes (optional)" caps how much time can be charged, even when the stay is longer.
How to work with pricing options
- Open the service for editing.
- In "Pricing options", add a new option or edit an existing one.
- Fill in the fields that apply to the service type.
- If the service is a "Check-in service", also fill in "Check-in pricing".
- Save the changes.
Important:
- when the type is "Free", price and old price are not filled in;
- "Old price (option)" must be higher than the current price;
- if the service has multiple variants, use separate pricing options instead of duplicating the service;
- if the only difference is by location or by employee, do not create a new main pricing option, use "Additional options" instead.
Consumables for a pricing option
For single and group services, you can open "Consumables" and link materials from inventory.
This is useful when:
- the same service uses different materials;
- you want more accurate cost tracking;
- different pricing options have different material consumption.
For a "Check-in service", the "Consumables" button is not part of the pricing option flow.
Additional options for a pricing option
From "Additional options" on a specific pricing option, for a single service you can configure:
- "Price by location";
- "Price by employee".
The logic is:
- base price for the service;
- price for the location;
- price for the employee.
If there is no separate value on the lower level, the system uses the value from the higher level.
Group services: additional group options
For a "Group service", you can open "Additional group options".
There you create separate options for the same group service. For each option, you can define:
- option name;
- duration;
- price type;
- price;
- old price.
This is useful when one group service has different participation variants or different booking conditions.
Corporate card companies
"Corporate card companies" are configured inside one specific group option, not on the whole service.
This means:
- one group service can have options that accept corporate cards and others that do not;
- different group options can accept different companies;
- if you want the client to book a specific variant with a corporate card, you must configure the companies for that exact option.
What happens online
For a group service, online booking follows the selected group option.
This means:
- the client chooses the group and the specific participation variant, if such variants exist;
- if the selected group option has "Corporate card companies", the booking flow requires a valid company;
- if the client chooses a company that is not allowed for that option, booking cannot continue;
- if there are no free seats for the selected option, booking is blocked;
- with a corporate card, only one seat can be booked in one request.
For a "Check-in service", the standard online booking flow does not apply.
Several employees in one service
When you enable "Includes Several Employees", the price of the service is no longer treated as a price for one performer. The system uses one of four modes:
- "Sum of prices";
- "Lowest price";
- "Highest price";
- "Average price".
This setting is for single and group services, not for a "Check-in service".
