Summary

Some facilities charge for every night a pet is checked in, or add a "last day" charge. This article explains how to set up those variations.

What This Does

The Charge by 24 hours setting on reservation types applies a charge only for COMPLETED 24-hour periods. It uses the rate and rules you set for that reservation type. The first 24-hour period is the exception. Gingr charges for it at check-in.

To charge for every night the pet is checked in and use a 24-hour period to decide whether the pet gets a "last day" charge, you need at least two pricing rules.

Important: Increment By settings on reservation types do not apply to 24-hour billing. They apply only to the charge by hour setting.

Charge for the Last Night of Boarding

To charge for every night the pet is checked in and use a 24-hour period to decide on a "last day" charge, set up at least two pricing rules.

Charge a Last Day Fee on the Day of Pickup

Some businesses charge a fee on the last day of boarding if the pet is picked up after the clock time of drop-off. For example, a pet is dropped off at 10 AM Monday and picked up at 2 PM Wednesday. The pet is charged for 2 nights and a fee for the last day. If the pet is picked up before 10 AM Wednesday, the pet is charged for only 2 nights.

For this, you need a version of the rule from the section above. You also need at least one rule like this one. It says, "If you pick up 4 hours after the clock time you dropped off, you are charged $25."
