🌐 How it works on your storefront
Section titled “🌐 How it works on your storefront”After publishing:
- A Book button appears on the service product page
- Customer selects start date + end date
- If paid → customer goes to checkout
- Booking appears in Appointments
- 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 × Number of booked days × Number of customers
🧪 Example
Section titled “🧪 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 ⇒ the total price = $300
⚙️ Set the charge rule
Section titled “⚙️ 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
Section titled “Per participant, per day”Each participant is charged for every day of the booking.
Example
Service price: $100
Booking: Dec 16 – Dec 18
Participants: 1
The booking covers 3 days:
$100 × 3 days = $300
This option works well for services such as:
- Equipment rental
- Daily workspace rental
- Multi-day activities
Per participant, per night
Section titled “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

The booking includes 2 nights:
$100 × 2 nights = $200
