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

  1. Open the app > goto Services

  2. Select the service you want to edit. For example, open your Yoga service

  3. Scroll down to the Participant types section > click Add participant button

  1. Enter the information for the participant type, such as:

  • Participant name

  • Price

For example:

Adult

  • Price: $100

Save the participant.

  1. Click + Add participant again to create additional types.

For example:

Child

  • Price: $10

You can add multiple participant types depending on your service.

  1. 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

In this example:

Price

Adult

$100

Child

$10

Adult is the default participant type.

  1. 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: 2

  • Child: 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.
