Set up Participant Types
Participant Types let you offer different booking options for different types of participants, such as Adults, Children, Students, or Seniors, with a different price for each type.
This is useful for classes, tours, events, group activities, and other services where the price depends on who is attending.
✅ What Participant Types does
When Participant Types is enabled, customers can choose how many participants of each type they want to include in their booking.
For each participant type, you can set:
A participant name, such as Adult or Child
A price for that participant type
A default participant type
You can also add multiple participant types and arrange them in the order you want.
For example:
Adult: $100
Child: $10
The customer can then select the appropriate number of adults and children when making a booking.
🎯 When should I use Participant Types?
Participant Types is useful when the same service has different prices depending on the type of customer.
Examples:
Yoga class — Adult / Child
Museum ticket — Adult / Child / Senior
Tour — Adult / Child
Workshop — Regular / Student
Event — Adult / Teen / Child
Family activity — Adult / Child
If everyone should pay the same price, you usually do not need to enable Participant Types.
🛠️ How to set up Participant Types
Open the app > goto Services
Select the service you want to edit. For example, open your Yoga service

You can add multiple participant types depending on your service.

Manage your participant types
After adding your participant types, they will appear in the Participant Types list.
From here, you can:
Drag and drop to change their display order
Edit a participant type
Delete a participant type
See which participant type is marked as Default
In this example:
Participant type
Price
Adult
$100
Child
$10
Adult is the default participant type.

After finishing your setup, click Save to apply the changes.
Your Participant Types are now ready to use on the booking form.
🧪 Example: Yoga class
Suppose you offer a Yoga class with these prices:
Adult: $100
Child: $10
A family wants to book for:
2 Adults
1 Child
The participant price is calculated from the quantities selected:
2 × $100 + 1 × $10 = $210
If you also use discounts, add-ons, or other pricing features, the final booking price may be adjusted accordingly.
🌐 How it works on your storefront
When a customer opens the booking form for a service with Participant Types enabled, they can choose the number of participants they want to book for each available type.
For example:
Adult:
2Child:
1
The booking price is then calculated based on the selected participant types and quantities.
The customer can continue choosing their date and time and complete the booking as usual.
