Set weekend and peak prices (0:21)

Day & Time Rates let one service cost more, or less, at certain times. You do not need a second service. For example, the Latte Art Class costs RM120 on weekdays and RM150 on Saturdays and Sundays. When a rate matches the date that the customer chooses, it replaces the service’s normal price.

Add a rate

You set the rates on each service:

1. Go to Bookings → Services and click Edit on the service.

2. Click the Pricing tab. Your normal price is Price (RM).

3. Under Day & Time Rates, click Add rate.

   

4. Type a Rate name, such as Weekend or Public Holiday, and choose when it applies:

   Field	How to use it
   Days of week	Click the days it covers. Leave all off for any day.
   Date range	Choose a start and end date. Leave empty for any date.
   Start time (optional) / End time (optional)	Only for rates that change during the day. Leave both empty to cover all opening hours.

   

5. Type the price in Rate per booking. For Accommodation it is Rate per night, and for Court it is Rate per slot.

6. Click Update Service at the top of the page.

The rate’s summary line shows its name, days, dates and price, such as Weekend Sat, Sun · RM150.00. Click it to open or close the rate.

What the customer sees

BCL uses the rate automatically. A customer who books the Latte Art Class for a Saturday sees RM 150.00 in the Booking Summary. On a weekday, the customer sees RM 120.00:

When two rates match

BCL explains its matching rules in the How Rates Are Matched box above your rates:

• A blank field means “any”. Dates without a matching rate use your normal price.
• If two rates match, the more specific rate wins. A rate with a date range beats a rate with only days. A rate with a time beats a rate without a time.
• BCL prices each night or slot on its own. So an Accommodation stay over a weekend, or a long Court booking, can use two rates.

When two rates are equally specific, the one higher in the list wins. Drag rates with the arrows to change their order.

Turn a rate off or copy it

Each rate has a switch, a copy button and a delete button on its summary line. Turn a rate off to stop it and keep it for later, for example between festive seasons. Copy a rate to make a similar one. You can add up to 20 rates to a service.

Note

Ticket services price each ticket type separately, so they do not have Day & Time Rates. Guest types and add-ons can have their own rates: click Rates next to the option.

Tips

Keep your rates simple to check:

• Keep the normal price for the most common case. Set Price (RM) to your weekday price. Add rates only for the exceptions.
• Add public holidays as dates. Dates win over days. So a Public Holiday rate with a Date range overrides your weekend rate on that day.
• Check with a test booking. In Test Mode, open your form and choose a date that the rate covers. Then check the price in the Booking Summary.

Common issues

Can I charge RM150 on weekends and RM120 on weekdays?

Yes. Set Price (RM) to 120 on the service's Pricing tab. Under Day & Time Rates, click Add rate, name it Weekend, click Sat and Sun and type 150 in Rate per booking. Click Update Service.

Can I charge more during the school holidays only?

Yes. Add a rate with a Date range that covers the holidays and leave Days of week empty. A rate with dates wins over a rate with only days, so the holiday rate overrides your weekend rate during those dates.

Why does my rate never apply?

Each rate needs at least one of Days of week, Date range or a start and end time, and its switch must be on. Check the rate's summary line, which shows the days and dates it covers.
