If the pricing of your Product is volume-based (meaning you define the cost of the Product by the number of people traveling or would like to input minimum and maximum group sizes), then you can configure your Product accordingly.

Please see below the different options to create pricing, depending on either group size or number of travelers. See step-by-step-instructions below:

1. When creating a new Option, after you have selected all the information regarding ‘Schedule Type,’ ‘Duration,’ ‘Cancellation Policy,’ etc., you will see the ‘Ticket Pricing’ checkbox.

2. After ticking the checkbox ‘Prices vary by minimum or maximum travelers,’ click on ‘Save and Continue’ to go forward and open the ‘Pricing’ tab to see/create your Price Groups for this specific Option.

NOTE: After you have ticked the checkbox and clicked on ‘Save and Continue,’ you cannot revert to Regular Pricing. If you want to configure other types of Pricing, simply create a new Option.

3. To create your Price Group:
– Select the dates your schedule dates go ‘from’ and ‘to’
– Select an existing ‘Traveler’ Ticket Type or, if you need to create an additional Ticket Type, click on ‘New age range’ and a new window will pop up. Now, you can move on to Step 4

NOTE: We do not allow senior, youth, child or infant tickets for this type of pricing configuration.

4. Create a new Ticket Type by clicking on ‘New age range’:
– Select the age range for your Ticket Type
– Click ‘Save’

NOTE: All New Ticket Types created will be available for all Options under the same Product.

5. After creating or selecting your Ticket Type, you will need to select the ‘Price Type.’ This could be configured in 2 ways: ‘Per Person’ and ‘Total.’

NOTE: You won’t be able to create pricing schedules as Per Person and Total within the same Option. In the situation that you need to switch an Option pricing from Per Person to Total, you will need to create a new Option. You CAN load ‘Per Person’ and ‘Total’ Pricing on the same Product listing but applied to different Options.

What is the difference between Per Person and Total pricing?

Per Person pricing is based on the number of passengers booked. Total pricing is based on the group size (regardless of the number of passengers booked within a minimum/maximum range)

How do I set up a Per Person price group?

1. Select the dates for your Price Group
2. Choose your Ticket Type from the drop-down menu. You will be able to select any of the tickets created for your Product but also create new Ticket Types from this menu. NOTE: Please note that only Traveler Ticket Type is supported for Volume-Based Price groups
3. Select the Price Type: ‘Per Person’
4. Configure your pricing selecting the minimum and maximum people allowed per every price range as displayed on the example below:

a. Min & max Pax: Select the minimum and maximum people allowed
b. Retail price: Select the price per pax for each of the minimum and maximum traveler ranges. Net price will be automatically calculated based on the margin for this specific Option/Product.
