Prices and how customers book

Booker sells time. You choose the ways a customer can book, by shorter slots, a half day or a full day, and set a price for each. Offer one, two or all three.

A product page with the booking calendar: 1 Hour, Half day and Full day, a week of days and the times on Tuesday

The three ways to sell time

  1. 1
    Shorter slots

    Book by a length you choose, usually an hour. Customers pick a start time and how many they want in a row, for example 2 hours. Set the length and the price for one.

  2. 2
    Half day

    A morning or an afternoon, at one flat price. If you set a daily break, the halves split around it. Without a break, it is half of that day opening hours.

  3. 3
    Full day

    From opening to closing on that day, at one flat price.

Slot length and limits

Slots come in 15 minute steps, from 15 minutes up to 8 hours, so 30, 60 or 90 minutes are all fine. You can also cap how many a customer takes in one booking, for example 4 to stop anyone booking half your week. Tick as many of the three as you sell and the customer picks on your product page.

Half and full days follow your hours

A full day means whatever that day opening hours are, so a shorter Saturday costs the same as a longer Tuesday. The price you set is flat either way. If your days vary a lot, shorter slots suit you better.

Charge a different price at some times

On Pro, shorter slots can cost more or less at some days and times. Say your meeting room is 20 an hour in the day and 30 an hour after 4 pm. Turn on Charge a different price at some times, under the price for shorter slots, and add a row for each different price.

  1. 1
    Add a row

    Give it a name customers see, such as Evening or Weekend. Tick the days, set From and To, and enter the price. The price you set above applies at every other time.

  2. 2
    Charged slot by slot

    Each slot is charged at the price for the time it starts. With 1 hour slots, a booking from 15:00 to 18:00 is 1 hour for 20 and 2 hours for 60, so 80 in total. The customer sees that split beside the total before they book.

  3. 3
    Where rows overlap

    If two rows cover the same time, the first row applies.

  4. 4
    Half and full days

    Half day and full day keep their one price.

  5. 5
    One line in the cart

    A booking that crosses two prices shows in the cart and at checkout as one line. Checkout lists the time at each price under it.

Where it does not apply yet

Different prices at some times work with One space or A class or event. They are not available yet for several spaces with their own prices, or for one space sold in different ways.

Good to know

Can I charge more in the evening or at weekends?

Yes, on the Pro plan. Turn on Charge a different price at some times and add a row for each, for example Evening from 16:00 to 23:00 on weekdays. A booking that crosses into the evening is charged slot by slot. A booking that crosses two prices shows in the cart and at checkout as one line. Checkout lists the time at each price under it.

Can I offer more than one option?

Yes. Set a price against any of the three and the customer chooses when they book. Leave a price blank and it is not offered.

Can I stop someone booking all day?

Yes. Set the most slots one booking can take.
