Period pricing

Offer flexibility to your customers with differentiated prices based on the time slot they choose.

Available periods

Configure period pricing

In the sun lounger template

1. Go to Lounger Zones → Lounger Models
2. Select an existing model or create a new one
3. In the pricing section you'll see:
   • Morning price
   • Afternoon price
   • Full day price

Configuration example

For a Premium sun lounger:

• Morning: €15
• Afternoon: €12
• Full day: €22 (€5 savings)

Tip: The full day price should be less than morning + afternoon combined to encourage longer bookings.

How the customer sees it

In the booking widget:

1. The customer selects the date
2. Chooses the desired period (if multiple available)
3. Sees the corresponding price for that period
4. Sun loungers show the price of the selected period

Availability by period

Sun loungers are managed independently by period:

• A sun lounger booked for morning is free in the afternoon
• A sun lounger booked full day is not available in any period
• The system automatically prevents conflicts

Individual prices

You can also configure specific prices per sun lounger:

1. Select a sun lounger in the map editor
2. Enable "Custom price"
3. Define prices for each period

This is useful for sun loungers with premium locations (front row of beach, near the pool).

Pricing strategies

Encourage mornings

If afternoons are busier:

• Morning: reduced price
• Afternoon: normal price

Encourage full day

To maximize occupancy:

• Full day: 20% discount over morning + afternoon

Weekend

Consider higher prices on Saturdays and Sundays (requires additional date-based configuration).
