Bookings Use Case: Cost based on Person Count

Scenario

↑ Back to top

You have a bookable product for which you would like to set different prices based on the person count.

The example product below will show you how to offer different prices based on the person count. One important thing to note here is that you can’t charge two different prices at the same time if you add 2 or more product quantities.

For example, if you add a single quantity, the charge, as per this case scenario, will be $145. But if you add two persons, the charge will be $230 ($115 each).

Person(s)	Price
1	$145
2-10	$115
