Features for time-based bookings

The hourly bookings really need:

  • Pricing tiers

  • Minimum hourly booking (eg “a minimum booking of 2 hours is required”)

  • Daily Pricing fix (I opened a previous topic where you told me there’s this bug that when setting a daily price for hourly bookings, the daily price for the hourly bookings don’t update even if the price is different for a certain day)

- Variable Pricing (is not working either with hourly prices :/)

  • Discounts applied ALSO to hourly bookings (now the discount is just “per booking” / “per day”)

  • Extras applied ALSO to hourly bookings (now the fee is just “per booking” / “per day”)

I think this would REALLY improve the results of a lot of websites using HP out there.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, actually all of these fixes and improvements are planned for the Bookings extension. We’ll try to deliver them as soon as it’s possible.

earlier in one post i think in 2022 @ihor said he is making it possible to get each listing to decide if it is per hour or per day or per night etc.
Is there any ETA for this ?
Has any user done some special coding to be able to do this ?
This is very useful and necessary in bookings because let us a say different Homestay owners would want to list by hour or day or night etc. Also as per the seasonal demands they may want to change the same listing and edit for time based or day based etc.
I also wonder how the calendar sync will work in such cases ?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there’s no such feature, it would require a custom implementation. The simplest option is to use listing categories and restrict them to, for example, time-based bookings.

@andrii are you saying that we can have time based bookings for one category and night based booking for another category ?

has anyone else managed to do this ?
is it possible that someone tweaks and has two instances of bookings to make this happen
