Configuring group pricing
Group pricing allows you to configure a pricing structure based on the number of products or guest types booked. Depending on your business needs...
- Group pricing can be configured to increase or decrease as the quantity booked increases.
- Group pricing can be configured per product (with or without assets), per guest in a group, or per group of guests.
- Group pricing per guest type or per group using guest types can be configured to include a product rate or not.
Group pricing using product rates
To configure group pricing per product rate, click the +Add Group Rate button next to the product rate.
To set up group pricing for your product, follow these steps...
- Click the +Add Group Price button next to the Product Base Rate to open the group pricing settings.
- Specify the range of your first group pricing tier, toggling the settings accordingly. For example, rent one to two kayaks for $35.00 each or three to four kayaks for the reduced rate of $25.00 each.
- Ensure you finish your final row with the infinity icon (∞) to configure the range to have no upper limits. For example, rent five or more kayaks for $15.00 each. If you don't configure the tier to have upper limits, the price returns to the base price.
- Click +Add Price for every additional pricing tier you need to achieve your pricing structure.

- Ensure you finish your final row with the infinity icon (∞) to configure the range to have no upper limits. For example, book five or more guests for $15.00 each. If you don't configure the tier to have upper limits, the price returns to the base price.

The above example uses a simple use case, where the guest type is a 'Guest', but you can configure group pricing for each guest type configured if you have multiple (e.g. Adult, Youth, Child, Senior).
Group pricing by guest type can also be combined with product rate pricing, depending on the needs of your business.
Group pricing per group of Guests
To set up guest pricing per group, follow these steps...
- Click the +Add Group Price button next to the Guest Base Rate to open the group pricing settings.
- Select the Per Group option from the setting to the right of the first tier. You need to do the same for each tier you add.
- Specify the range of your first group pricing tier, toggling the settings accordingly. For example, for groups of one to two Guests, the price is $50.00 per Group, but the price goes down for groups of three to four ($40.00 per Group) or five or more ($30.00 per Group).
- Ensure you finish your final row with the infinity icon (∞) to configure the range to have no upper limits. For example, book five or more guests for $30.00 per Group. If you don't configure the tier to have upper limits, the price returns to the base price.
- Click +Add Price for every additional pricing tier you need to achieve your pricing structure.
