# Multi-day service
A Multi-day Service lets customers book a date range (start date β end date). This is perfect for rentals or events that last multiple days.
***
### β What this service type does
With **Multi-day booking**, customers:
* choose a **start date**
* choose an **end date**
* book the whole date range
* (optional) pay online depending on payment settings
You control:
* booking rules (min/max days, if available)
* capacity (how many bookings can happen at the same time)
* paid vs free booking
* availability and location
***
### π― When should I use Multi-day Service?
Use **Multi-day booking** when:
* customers need to reserve multiple consecutive days
* itβs not tied to specific time slots
**Examples**
* Equipment rental (3 days)
* Workshop ticket (2 days)
* Hotel-like rental for a product/service
* Multi-day event passes
***

Set **Check in time** and **Check out time**
* **Set capacity:**
**Capacity = 1 β** only one booking for a date range at a time (common for rentals)
**Capacity** = **2+** β allow multiple simultaneous bookings (if you have multiple units)
**5) Choose payment type**

### π How it works on your storefront
After publishing:
1. A **Book** button appears on the service product page
2. Customer selects **start date + end date**
3. If paid β customer goes to **checkout**
4. Booking appears in **Appointments**
5. The app automatically calculates the total booking price based on:
* **Service price** (price per day)
* Number of booked days
* Number of customers in an appointment
**Formula**
> **Final price = Service price Γ Number of booked days Γ Number of customers**
***
#### π§ͺ Example
**Service:** Camera rental (Multi-day)
* Customer selects: Dec 16- Dec18
* That reserves 3 days
* Capacity: 1 (so no overlapping rental ranges)
* Service price: $100/day β the total price = $300
***
### βοΈ Set the charge rule
For multi-day services, you can choose how customers are charged based on the length of their booking.
Under **How customers will be charged**, select the pricing rule that best fits your service.
You can choose from:
#### Per participant, per day
Each participant is charged for every day of the booking.
**Example**
Service price: **$100**
Booking: **Dec 16 β Dec 18**\
Participants: **1**
The booking covers 3 days:
`$100 Γ 3 days = $300`
This option works well for services such as:
* Equipment rental
* Daily workspace rental
* Multi-day activities
***
#### Per participant, per night
Each participant is charged for every night between check-in and check-out.
**Example**
Service price: **$100**
Check-in: **Dec 16**\
Check-out: **Dec 18**\
Participants: **1**
The booking includes 2 nights:
`$100 Γ 2 nights = $200`
This option is useful for services such as:
* Accommodation
* Overnight rentals
* Retreats
* Camping or lodging services
***
#### Per participant
Each participant is charged only once, regardless of how many days the booking lasts.
**Example**
Service price: **$100**
Booking: **Dec 16 β Dec 18**\
Participants: **1**
Total:
`$100 Γ 1 participant = $100`
The booking duration does not increase the service price.
This option works well for:
* Multi-day event passes
* Retreat registration fees
* Courses with one fixed price
