Feature

Booking by Time or by Days

Rent by the hour, or by the day. You choose.

What it's for

A car hire that rents for whole days doesn't want guests picking 09:15 on a minute grid. A hotel that sells day-use rooms doesn't want to sell nights. So car, yacht, plane and room planners let you choose your booking style.

By time: guests pick a date, a start time and a length in hours. By days: guests pick a pick-up day and a return day on one calendar (check-in and check-out for rooms), see how many days that is, and then see only what is free for every one of those days.

You choose one style for your whole business, and every guest books that way. Your staff book the same way from the mainboard.

How to reach & use it

Choose your booking style

Open Preferences on your dashboard. Under Booking style, tap By time or By days. It applies straight away to your booking page and your mainboard.

Set your pick-up and return times

With By days, set the time a booking starts and ends. Car, yacht and plane planners start at 09:00 and 09:00; rooms at 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out. Monday 09:00 to Wednesday 09:00 is two days. These are the defaults: guests can move both times when they book (to any half hour within your opening hours), and staff can change them on any booking. Days count in started 24-hour blocks, so Monday 09:00 to Wednesday 17:00 is three days.

Give each unit both prices

Open a unit (a car, a yacht, a room) and fill in its price per hour and its price per day. The one your booking style uses is marked Charged now. Both are kept, so switching style never changes a price.

Book by days from the mainboard

Tap a free cell on a unit's row and choose 1, 2 or 3 days, or open the booking and pick the start and end days on its calendar. Switch the mainboard to the × days board to see two weeks at a glance.

Limits & good to know

Available on car, yacht, plane and room planners. Restaurants, salons and appointment planners keep the booking flow that suits them.

One style per business: every guest books the same way. Guests can't choose between hours and days.

Bookings already made keep their times when you switch style.

A unit with no price for the style you use shows no price and takes no calculated deposit until you set one.

Frequently asked questions

Can guests change the pick-up or return time?

Yes. Your times are the defaults. On your booking page guests can pick any half hour within your opening hours for both, and they see the number of days update before they book. Your staff can change the times on any booking from the mainboard.

What happens to my existing bookings if I switch?

Nothing. They keep their start and end times. Only new bookings follow the new style.

Which price does a guest pay?

The price for your booking style: per day when you book by days, per hour when you book by time. Days count from your pick-up time to your return time, rounded up to whole days.

Can I go back?

Yes, any time, in Preferences. Your prices stay as you set them.
