Steps to Set Custom Prices and Times for Private Bookings



1. Start by Adding a New Order



Click on the Add button and select Order.



Then, a New Order page will appear.



Fill in the Customer Name. If the customer is already in your system, select their name from the dropdown list.

New customers need details. If it's an existing one, no need for this process.

If it’s a new customer, a window will pop up for you to fill in their details. Complete the necessary fields, including:

Company (if applicable)

Email (required field marked with an asterisk)

Telephone, Address, City, State, Country (if applicable)

Assign the customer to a specific category, such as VIP or loyal customer, based on your classifications.

Once done, click Create Customer.


2. Add a Booking



Navigate to the Bookings tab and click on Add Booking.



Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process:

Choose the product the customer wishes to book.

Choose from your list of existing products.

Under Booking Options, indicate if this booking includes a coupon, special rate, or variant. If the booking is tax-exempt, tick the corresponding box.

You can skip this step if nothing is applicable.


3. Set Custom Prices



Under Ticket Quantities, locate the price field.



Click on the yellow button next to the price to enable custom pricing.

Enter the adjusted price based on the specific private booking requirements, such as higher rates for private tours.

Click Save.


4. Define Booking Details



Specify the number of people in the booking by filling in the field on the right side of the screen.



Check Availability. Add any notes about the booking, set the desired time and hour, and indicate if this is a voucher booking, group booking, or custom tour booking by ticking the appropriate boxes.

Select the appropriate booking type.


5. Set Pickup Details



Under the pickup section, specify custom pickup locations.

Include notes for guests, such as how many minutes in advance they should arrive at the location. If you have additional instructions or comments for the customer, add them here.

Don't forget to add important notes and reminders for guests.


6. Process Payment



Once the booking is added, it’s time to handle payments. You have two options:

If the customer has already paid manually:

Go to Payments, then click Add Payment.



Select the payment method (e.g., Cash or Cheque, External Payment, Direct/Bank Transfer, Credit/Debit Card, or Gift Card Payment).

Click Create Payment to save the transaction.

You can leave a note about the details of the direct payment made.

If you need to request a payment:

Under Payment Requests, click Add Payment Request.

Send payment requests for guests who are yet to pay.

Enter the payment amount and click Create Payment Request.


An email will be sent to the customer with a link for online payment.


That’s It!
