How To Set Up Product Pricing Options🛒

This article walks you through the pricing options available when using Shopify with BookThatApp (BTA), along with guidance for configuring weekday/weekend rates.

1. Pricing Based on Rental Duration ⏳

Use this option if you offer fixed rental periods and want customers to select a predefined duration.

How to Configure 🔧

1. Create variants in Shopify for each rental duration.
2. Assign a price to each variant.

Example:

• 4 Days — $50 💰
• 8 Days — $75 💰

Customer Experience 👤

Customers select the rental duration (variant) first and then select the start date.

Recommended Widget 🛠️

• Product Rental Widget, or
• Booking Form 1

2. Daily Rate 📆

Use this option when you charge a per-day rate based on the customer’s selected date range.

How to Configure 🔧

1. Set the product price in Shopify to represent the daily rate.
2. In BTA, go to Settings → Order Processing and set “Date Range Updates Quantity?” to Yes.

BTA will then calculate the price as:

Daily rate × Number of days in the selected date range

Recommended Widget 🛠️

• Product Rental Widget, or
• Booking Form 1
   

3. Price Breaks Based on Rental Duration 💵

Use this option to offer different pricing tiers depending on the total rental duration.

Example Price Break Structure 📊

• 1–3 days = $10/day
• 4–6 days = $8/day

How to Configure 🔧

1. Create Shopify variants representing each duration range.
2. In BTA, select Variant-based Duration.
3. Enable Variants represent date range.
   
   
4. Enter the day ranges for each price break.

How Pricing Is Calculated ⚖️

You can choose one of two behaviors:

A. Fixed price per range (default)

• 1–3 days variant ($10) means any rental of 1–3 days costs $10 total.

B. Per-day rate based on range

To enable this:

1. Go to Settings → Order Processing.
2. Set “Date Range Updates Quantity?” to Yes.
   
   

This makes a variant priced at $10/day behave like:

• 1 day = $10
• 2 days = $20
• 3 days = $30

Note: with either method you need to enable your theme's quantity selector on the product page. You can also enable it and hide it for a better customer experience. 
 

4. Weekday and Weekend Rates 🌞🌙

You can configure different prices for weekdays and weekends using Shopify variants and BTA blackouts.

How to Configure Weekday/Weekend Rates 🔧

Follow these steps to set up repeating weekday and weekend pricing:

1. Create two Shopify variants:
   • Weekday Variant 🌞
   • Weekend Variant 🌙
2. Create blackouts in BTA:
   • Blackout each variant on the days it should not be available (e.g., blackout Weekday variant on weekends and Weekend variant on weekdays).
   • Set these blackouts to repeat into the future so the schedule automatically applies ongoing.

This setup ensures that:

• Customers can only select the appropriate variant for the correct days.
• Pricing is correctly applied for weekdays vs. weekends.
