How to set extra costs to charge

After you enable the “Extra costs and discounts” module in Modules, you will find the Costs subtab inside the plugin’s Configuration tab. Let’s review the steps to set up the extra costs and discounts.

  1. First, you need to go to YITH > Booking and Appointment > Configuration > Costs:
Costs subtab
  1. These extra costs will be created globally and you will be able to later add them to your bookable products. To create a new “cost” simply enter the name and, optionally, a short description:
Add new cost
New cost added
  1. Once it has been created, if you want to add a specific cost to any of your bookable products, you will find them listed on the product edit page, inside Product Data > Booking Options > Costs > Extra Costs section:
Extra costs section  - product edit page
  1. Here, you can set the specific amount to charge for each cost and also decide if you want to multiply the cost by duration. If you leave the amount field empty, the cost will not be applied to the product:
Extra costs section  - set price
  1. Additionally, you can add specific ‘Extra costs’ that will apply only to this specific product:

  1. Besides the extra costs, a new ‘Discounts’ section will also appear inside Product Data > Booking Options > Costs:
Discounts section
  1. Here, you will be able to offer weekly, monthly, and/or last-minute discounts to encourage your users to book:

  1. Now, let’s see an example of how the extra costs would appear inside the booking form. In this case, the amount of the ‘Cleaning fee’ has been set as a fixed price of $10:
