How to Use Price Categories to Offer Multiple Pricing Options for Your Services
Price categories allow businesses to offer multiple pricing options for the same service, helping them cater to different customer types or group sizes. Instead of creating separate services for each pricing option, Price Categories let customers choose the appropriate price when booking.
This feature is only available for multiple booking services, such as tours, classes, and events. It is not available for single booking services like appointments.Why Use Price Categories?
Price categories help businesses offer structured pricing variations without needing to duplicate services. This feature is commonly used to:
✅ Charge different prices based on age groups (e.g., Adult, Child, Senior).
✅ Offer membership or loyalty pricing (e.g., Member vs. Non-Member rates).
✅ Apply tiered group pricing where customers must book a minimum number of spots to access a discounted rate.
Price categories are best used for structured pricing differences. If you need promotional pricing, set up a separate promotional service instead.How to Create a Price Category
2️⃣ Click the ••• (three dots) action menu next to the service and select Edit.
3️⃣ In the General tab, scroll to the Price section.
4️⃣ Click + Add Price Categories.
5️⃣ Enter a Category Name (e.g., Adult, Child, Member).
6️⃣ Set the Price for this category.
7️⃣ (Optional) Define the minimum and maximum quantity customers can select for this category.
8️⃣ Click Update to save.
If a price category has a minimum booking quantity, customers must book at least that number to access the rate.How to Display a Sale Price
The Display as Sale Price option allows businesses to show a retail price alongside a discounted price, helping with marketing promotions or group package offers.
🔹 When enabled, the booking widget will display:
- The original (crossed-out) price as the standard rate.
- The sale price as the new discounted rate.
This is purely a visual marketing tool and does not function as a dynamic discount system.Troubleshooting & FAQs
