Summary

If you charge or discount by pet weight, Gingr can read the weight on the animal's profile. It then charges the reservation by the weight categories you set.

First, set the base rate of the reservation type to the cheapest weight category. Then create a pricing rule for each more expensive weight category.

Before You Begin

• Know the weight categories you charge for and the price of each. For example:
  • 1-25 lbs = $30/night (base rate)
  • 26-50 lbs = $40/night
  • 51-99 lbs = $50/night
  • 100+ lbs = $55/night
• Think about how your facility charges for boarding and how to group weight ranges. If you are unsure, contact your onboarding specialist.

Steps

Set the Base Rate

1. Go to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Reservation Types and Services Configuration.
2. Select the $ icon.
3. Confirm the base rate is the lowest weight category price you offer. If not, enter the price and select Save.

Create the Pricing Rules

1. Go to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Pricing Rules.
2. Choose your Location.
3. Select the weight-based boarding Reservation Type.
4. Select Add to create a pricing rule.
5. Enter the Label. This is the name that shows on estimates, the shopping cart, and receipts, such as "Medium Dog (26-50 lbs)". Start with the second cheapest weight category, because the base rate already covers the cheapest.
6. Set Type to Animal Weight.
7. Enter the Value. This is the weight where the upcharge starts. For example, if "medium" dogs start at 26 lbs, enter 26.
8. Choose the Method, either dollar amount or percentage. A percentage upcharges by that percent of the base rate. Dollar is the most common for weight pricing.
9. Enter the Amount. This is the increase from the base rate. For example, if small pets cost $30 and medium pets cost $40, enter 10.00.
10. Repeat for each weight category, such as Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.

Example

Say your smallest dog rate is $30. This is the base rate. You add a fee for each weight class. The Value is the weight where the class starts. The Amount is what Gingr adds to the reservation when the pet meets that weight.
