# Pricing rules for reservations (/en/businesses/reservations/pricing) Pricing rules decide what a reservation costs and which times customers can book. A rule covers some resources on some weekdays and hours, and lists the durations it sells with a price for each. Customers book the times your rules cover. A rule belongs to your company. One rule can price resources in several of your venues. The same winter prices can cover every hall at once. --- ## Price peak hours, seasons and members [#price-peak-hours-seasons-and-members] **Peak and off-peak.** Two rules on the same courts: one for weekdays 06:00 to 16:00 at a lower price, one for weekday evenings and weekends at the full price. Both are **Always**, and their hours don't overlap. **A summer season over the base price.** Keep your **Always** rules and add a **Between dates** rule for June to August with lower prices. The seasonal rule wins on its dates, and the base rules come back when the season ends. **Members-only early mornings.** A rule for 06:00 to 08:00 with **Require membership to book**. Non-members are offered the membership in place of these times. Read more in [Membership benefits](/businesses/shop/memberships/benefits). **A member price.** Keep one public rule for everyone, and set the member price on the membership. A reservation discount gives members 20% off whatever the rule charges. Custom pricing gives them their own rate, such as €15 an hour. **Two-hour simulator bookings on weekend evenings.** A rule for your golf simulators on Fridays and Saturdays from 18:00 to midnight that lists only 120 minutes. **Any length at the same hourly price.** List the price for 60 minutes and choose **Scale from the shortest duration**. Thril prices 90, 120 and 150 minutes in proportion. --- ## How rules combine [#how-rules-combine] The **Validity** of a rule is **Always** or **Between dates**. An **Always** rule and a **Between dates** rule can overlap on the same resource and time, and the dated rule applies on its dates. Two rules with the same validity cover separate hours. The same goes for **Require membership to book**. Members-only hours get their own time window, or a members-only **Between dates** rule over a public **Always** rule closes those hours to non-members for the season. A membership's [reservation discount](/businesses/shop/memberships/benefits#reservation-discount) comes off the price of whichever rule prices the time. Its [custom pricing](/businesses/shop/memberships/benefits#reservation-custom-pricing) replaces that price for its members. --- ## Durations and start times [#durations-and-start-times] Each rule lists the durations it sells, such as 60 minutes for €30 and 90 minutes for €42. **Longer durations** decides what else is offered: - **Only the durations listed above.** Customers book exactly these. - **Scale from the shortest duration.** Thril prices longer bookings at the per-minute price of the shortest one, up to the length you set. A duration you list keeps its own price. List 120 minutes at a lower price to sell two hours for less. **Blocked start times** stop slots starting at the times you pick, while the time itself stays bookable. With 18:30 blocked, nothing starts at 18:30, and an 18:00 to 19:30 booking is still offered. **Exclude unwanted time slot gaps** is on by default. It hides start times that would leave a gap too short to book, such as 30 minutes between two one-hour bookings. On a resource where 90-minute games often fill a two-hour gap, turn on **Ignore unwanted gaps -rule in 2 hour gaps between reservations** under **Customer booking**. --- ## Where the rules apply [#where-the-rules-apply] A rule change applies to bookings made after you save, and reservations already made keep their price. You change the price of one booking on the reservation itself. Read more in [Managing reservations](/businesses/reservations/managing-reservations). A partner venue you have authorized to book your resources has pricing rules of its own for its bookings. Read more in [Partner venues](/businesses/getting-started/partner-venues). The extra time you sell at the end of a booking is priced as a share of these rules. Read more in [Selling more time](/businesses/reservations/selling-more-time). To price per player on a darts board or bowling lane, use a resource [priced per participant](/businesses/reservations/resources#pricing-per-booking-or-per-participant). Tax rates are set on the resource. --- ## Prices for a customer group [#prices-for-a-customer-group] To give seniors, a partner club or your coaches their own prices without selling them anything, use a membership that is not for sale. Staff add the customers to it by hand, and its reservation discount or custom pricing applies to them.
