Designate time between bookings to prepare the product or your Staff for the next Customer!
The time you add in this field automatically adds to the start and end of a booking and cannot be booked by anybody else.
The interval of time directly relates to your allocation setting. For example, if the product is allocated per day, the maintenance time is calculated in days.
Maintenance time does not apply to timeslots as they are completely self-configurable.
Aliasing products together
Aliasing enables you to link products together so that when one of them is booked, the inventory availability of the other is adjusted by the same amount.
An example of a need for aliasing would be for Accommodation package bookings. You might only have one Queen room available, but two different package options. If the first package option is booked, the room is booked, and inventory for both package products is reduced to zero. This means that nobody else can book the room during that same timeslot, thus no overbookings!
Configuring simple products
For products that are static goods, then toggle ON the Simple Product button.
Simple products cannot use parameters or seasonal and dynamic pricing (using events and discounts).
Simple products can be Date Based or not depending on your business need.
Examples of simple products such as merchandise or food and beverage offerings.
Disabling this feature removes inventory tracking and custom availability options for this product, including allocation settings.
With this setting disabled, products must still be reserved from the Customer Booking page by selecting a particular day.
Most offerings are date-based. Examples of date based inventory are offerings for tours, activities, rentals or accommodation.
Merchandise is an example of an product that may NOT be date based inventory. For example, you may offer bottled water to your Customers but do not need to make a date-based booking out of this selection and can track inventory outside of the application.
Click the Save and Next button in the top right of the screen to continue to the pricing configuration.
