Overview
Pricing seasons allow the definition of prices common for a group of dates, regardless of being defined as a continuous date range or specific individual dates. Standard use cases in the travel industry are low versus high season, or the distinction between weekdays, weekends and holidays.
In TripBuilder's scope, pricing seasons are only applied to Inventory products. Within the same inventory product, different pricing seasons can be assigned to different service/room categories (for rental cars, base services, amenities or accommodations, for example) when existing.
In this article, and for demonstration purposes, pricing seasons are described in the context of service categories for an upsell item.
Create a PAX range
To be able to add a pricing season, you need to create a PAX range first. In the Service Categories tab of your inventory upsell item, go to the Pricing (Net, USD) section and click on Create Now.
The Edit Ranges pop-up is displayed, where you can define the minimum and maximum number of PAX. Add as many PAX ranges as needed.
Pax ranges can be added according to the price calculations needed. The calculation will be based on your selected pricing type: per PAX or group.
| Case | Use |
| Price ranges differ per PAX number | 1-1, 2-2, 3-3... |
| Price ranges are the same for a certain PAX number, for example, for groups | 1-2, 3-4, 5-10... |
| Price ranges are the same for all PAX | 1-99 |
|
Please note: If the product should be bookable for a max of two PAX, a range of 1-2 PAX should be created. Products that don't have a capacity for more than two PAX won't be visible on the Planner. |
Add a pricing season
After saving the PAX range, the pricing season can be added. Add as many pricing seasons as needed.
|
Please note: It's not possible to create different pricing seasons with overlapping dates. All pricing seasons must be unique. |
- Click on Add pricing season and then on Choose the season dates.
- A pop-up window opens to create the pricing season.
- Enter a Season Name.
- Seasons names are optional and only for internal use as they aren't displayed on the Planner.
- Select the Season Dates.
- Several season dates can be added, and this process can be done in two ways: Calendar View and List View.
Calendar View
Click and drag the mouse to add a continuously available season, making the product available on all chosen dates. You can also select individual dates by clicking on the corresponding days.
Click on OK to save the season.
|
Please note: To remove selected dates, click the blue highlighted date and confirm the deletion. |
List View
In the List View, dates can be selected from the calendar. Selecting the start and end date allows you to create a continuously available season, making the product available on all chosen dates.
Click on OK to save the season.
|
Please note: To remove selected dates, click the bin icon on the right-hand side. |
Once you add the different seasons needed, you can add a price to the season. Add your price below the PAX on each season. The 20 (USD) will be the net price per PAX for 1 or 2 PAX in the itinerary, as displayed in the example below.
If you add a new service category, the pricing seasons will be copied from the previous one, so you only need to set them once. Each service category's pricing seasons are independent from each other and can be edited separately.
PAX ranges and prices can also be individually adjusted for each category.
