Bundles

A bundle groups several categories into one thing you sell: a BBQ package of one grill, four chairs and two tables; a family day out of two adult bikes and two children's bikes; a band kit of a PA, two speakers and four microphones.

Bundles are an optional feature, switch them on under Settings → Features.

The list​

Bundles shows your bundles as cards with their name, description and price. New bundle creates one; clicking a card edits it.

Building a bundle​

  • Name and description: what your customer sees.
  • Components: Add component adds a category and a quantity. A BBQ package might be 1 × grill, 4 × chair, 2 × table.
  • Price: see below.

The two ways to price a bundle​

Fixed price. You set the price of the package yourself. This is the usual choice for a package you advertise: "BBQ package € 75 per day" is a price customers understand, and it lets you make the package cheaper than its parts.

Period-scaled. The bundle costs whatever its components cost for that period, added up, each priced from its own category's rate table. Choose this when the package is a convenience rather than an offer. You are saving the customer from adding six lines, not giving a discount.

Surcharges apply to both, in different ways. See Dynamic pricing.

Availability​

A bundle is as available as its scarcest component. If you have ten grills, twenty chairs and three tables, you can rent three BBQ packages, no matter how many grills are standing there.

When someone books a bundle, every one of its component objects is reserved. The bundle is not an abstraction floating above your stock; it is a shortcut to reserving several things at once.

On a booking​

A bundle appears as one line on the booking, on the contract and on the invoice, with its quantity. Behind that single line, each component's object is reserved, appears on your calendars, and comes back through the normal check-out.

The quantity you can pick when creating a booking is automatically capped at what the scarcest component allows.

In the widget​

Bundles are offered in the booking widget too, on the same screen where the customer picks their objects, with the number still available.

Deleting a bundle​

Deleting asks for confirmation and removes the bundle from what you offer. Bookings that already contain it keep their line and their price. A bundle you stop selling in September does not disappear from August's paperwork.
