Multi-session Pricing Structures

Multi-session pricing structures change the basic fee for sessions based on a pre-set number of registrations. By changing the basic fee, they can function a bit like Multi-week Discounts. Organizations typically use Multi-session Pricing Structures when:

• • They want other percentage discounts to calculate using the reduced cost of multiple reservations.
  • They want the session price to change on the confirmation/statement instead of showing a discount.

There are several limitations to Multi-session Pricing Structures:

• • Only one Multi-session Pricing Structure can be active on a session at any time.
  • All sessions using the Multi-session Pricing Structure will have the same Basic Fee.

Managing Multi-session Pricing Structures

To create or manage Multi-session Pricing Structures take the following steps:

1. 1. In the Settings menu, expand the Fees / Payments section.
   2. Click Multi-session Pricing Structures.
   3. Click the button at the top to Create a new pricing structure or the Edit icon to the right of an existing structure to adjust it.

You can also uncheck the box to Only display active pricing structures if you wish to see pricing structures that have been deactivated or hidden. 

How to Create a Multi-Session Pricing Structure

There are three parts to creating a Multi-session Pricing Structure:

• • Name and core function parameters
  • Structure Members (Sessions)
  • Pricing Breakpoints

You will need to address all three aspects in order to create and implement this feature.

When you click the button to Create a new pricing structure, you'll be prompted to take the following steps:

1. 1. Enter the pricing structure Name and any other core information.
      • Name - used for managing the structure and visible only on the admin side
      • Begin Date (Optional) - an optional setting that makes the pricing structure inactive until the set date
      • End Date (Optional) - an optional setting that makes the pricing structure inactive on and after the set date
      • Do not modify reservation made prior to - an optional setting that prevents the pricing structure from adjusting the basic fee on any reservation made before the set date.
      • Active - When this box is checked, the structure is visible in the Existing Structures list.
   2. Click the Save button.
   3. Click Add Sessions to select which sessions should be members of this structure.
      • Check the box for any sessions you wish to use this pricing structure.
      • Click the Save button to add the selected sessions.
   4. Click Add a Breakpoint to direct how the structure should adjust the Session's Basic Fees.
      • Threshold - Enter the number of reservations necessary to trigger the listed Basic Fee.
      • Basic Fee - Enter the Basic Fee amount for sessions at this level. This is a per session amount.
      • Click the Save Breakpoint

While you can add as many breakpoints as you wish, it is recommended that you add at least two breakpoints:

• The first breakpoint should be the normal price for a single session and have your normal basic fee.
• The second breakpoint should be for the next tier of pricing and have the adjusted basic fee.
