We have a complex schedule for our discounts. Is it possible to configure?

If you have simple, one-time discounts without a schedule, you can create them without linking them to the resource calendar. Read more about this here.

If your discounts are recurring, you will need to use rules. For example, suppose your company's pricing is as follows:

• The regular price is $100.
• Every day from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM – $80.
• 20% discount on Thursday, 10% discount on other weekdays.

First, you need to determine how to properly divide the calendar time into segments. If any reservation parameter changes over time, you must create a separate rule for it.

In this case, we will divide the calendar into the following rules:

• Thursday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Thursday.
• Weekdays: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Weekdays.
• Always: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Always.

Rules should be ordered by priority. Narrower intervals should take precedence over broader ones.

Next, review all pricing components for each rule. You only need to enable the discounts that apply to each specific interval. As a result, you will have the following configuration:

Note that each new discount with a different schedule can double the number of existing rules. For example, if you want to add a 5% discount for July, you will need to duplicate the rules. This will result in the following set of rules:

• Thursday in July: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Thursday in July.
• Weekdays in July: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Weekdays in July.
• July: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• July.
• Thursday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Thursday.
• Weekdays: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Weekdays.
• Always: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
• Always.
