The Auto-calculate Price for Multi-Day Appointments feature allows you to specify a start and end date for a service and have the price calculated dynamically. When enabled, the appointment modal will show two new fields: one for the multiplier and one for the final price. The final price is calculated by multiplying the initial service price by the multiplier. In this article, we'll walk through how to utilize the auto-calculate price for multi-day appointments feature.
Things to know:
- When the service duration is extended to multiple days, the multiplier is adjusted to match the number of days selected for the service.
- The price is calculated using calendar days rather than 24 hours. For instance, if the appointment starts 4/21 at 2pm and ends at 4/23 at 3 pm, we count that as x2.
- The multiplier, initial price, and final price input fields are not editable on the appointment modal or in POS.
- This feature is not compatible with recurring appointments. Once saved, the service's original price will be restored.
- Any changes to the appointment that causes price recalculation will reset the multiplier to 1 and the service price to the initial price. For example, if you change the staff member or client, move the appointment on the calendar, or use the Book Again option, the multiplier returns to 1 and the price is reset.
- If an appointment is redone, the price for the redo appointment will be $0
- Reports will display the final price
