Introduction

When Compound Pricing Rules is on for a specific reservation type, pricing rules will run in the order of which they are created on the pricing rules setup page. This will create less of a discount if using percentages because not all rules are discounted from the base rate.

You can turn compound pricing on at Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Reservation Types and Services Configuration » Edit Reservation Type » Compound Pricing Rules "on".

Example

You charge $45 per night for boarding but discount based on the number of dogs from the same family (25% off each dog) and if they stay for an extended period of time (additional 10% off each dog).

Compound Pricing Rules OFF (default):

If this setting is off, each rule will calculate from the original base rate of the reservation type. This will create a larger discount because the second discount will be taken from the full base rate ($45).

Subtotal per dog: $45
25% off for each dog: $11.25 off
10% off extended stay: $4.50 off (taken from base rate)
Total per dog after discounts: $29.25

Compound Pricing Rules ON:

If this setting is on, the next rule will calculate based off of the subtotal from the previous rule. This will create a smaller discount.

Subtotal per dog: $45
25% off each dog: $11.25 off (subtotal $33.75)
10% off extended stay: $3.38 off (taken from previous rule)
Total per dog after discounts: $30.37
