Step 2: Defining the Conditions​

In the Conditions section, you can define the specific criteria that will trigger the price adjustment. Here are some examples:

  • Service: Apply different prices to specific services, such as offering distinct rates for a "Basic Package" and a "Premium Package."
  • Staff: Set pricing adjustments based on staff members, such as increasing the price for senior staff or specialists.
  • Service Extra: Offer special pricing for customers who choose additional services or extras (e.g., a discount for adding a "Hot Stone Massage").
  • Day of Appointment Date: Define rules for specific days (e.g., offering discounts on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of each month).
  • Month of Appointment Date: Set conditions based on the month of the appointment (e.g., offer seasonal promotions during December).
  • Weekday of Appointment Date: Adjust pricing based on weekdays (e.g., increase prices for weekend appointments).
  • Payment Method: Offer different pricing based on payment methods (e.g., a discount for customers who pay with PayPal or credit card).
  • Is Deposit Payment: Set prices based on whether the customer has made a deposit.
  • Bring People Count: Adjust pricing based on the number of guests.
  • Appointment Count: Offer loyalty discounts based on the number of previous appointments.
  • Appointment Duration (min): Modify pricing for different appointment lengths (e.g., charge more for a 60-minute session compared to a 30-minute session).
  • Appointment Start Time: Apply pricing rules based on the start time of the appointment (e.g., higher prices during peak hours).
  • Appointment End Time: Adjust prices based on the appointment's end time (e.g., offer discounts for appointments that end before a certain time).
  • Appointment Date: Set special prices for specific dates, such as public holidays.
  • Custom Form Choices: Customize prices based on the selections made on custom forms (e.g., offering a discount if the client chooses a particular option).

You can combine these conditions to create unique and tailored pricing rules for your booking system.
