Price is an important variable in the tourism market. Many tour operators out in the market are selling the same tour as yours and price play an important role while distinguishing between them. Therefore, setting up your prices and rates for your tour package is equally important if compared with other details you display.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• There are two types of prices that you will need to configure:
  
• the per-participant (or per-group) price
  
• and, the advertised price
  
• The Per-participant (or per-group) price is the price that the end-customer will actually pay while making the booking
  
• On the other hand the Advertised price is the price that you would like to show on the tour details page, tour cards, collection page, etc to attract customer. For example, if the cost is 500, 1000, 1500 Rs for Child, Adult, Participant respectively, then you can advertise the price as Starting from 500 Rs on your tour details page. This has higher chances that the customer will proceed to checkout.
  

1. Click on the Products tab.
   
   
2. Choose the Tour for which the Prices & Rates needs to set.
   
3. Click on the Prices & Rates tab.
   
   
   

Please Note: This section allows you to configure pricing for a simple adult, child, participant, etc to complex pricing similar to a trip having multiple variants.

2. You can easily use the predefined pax types (e.g Adults, Child, Group, Infant, Senior, Student, Couple, Family of 3/4/5, Custom pax type) from the drop-down.
   
3. Every Pax type has 3 fields i.e Name, Description, Rate
   Here’s an overview of each Field,
   Name: This allows you to enter a required label for your pax type. Eg. Adult, Participant, Student, etc
   Description: This field allows you to enter a brief description of the pax type. Eg. For Pax type "Adult" the Description would be "Above 18 years".
   Rate: This allows you to enter the price for the respective pax type.

Creating variant based pricing:

8. Click on Save.
   
   
   

Please Note: If you have created a variant for an existing tour for which the calendar is already opened, then you will have to open the calendar for the newly added variants manually. We would recommend you to read  Calendar: Opening/ Closing dates and managing them.

Creating Group based pricing:

You can also create group based pricing, and offer different pricing for different numbers of passenger. For example, if you provide a trek, you mostly go for group pricing structure, i.e 500/- Rs for 1-10 participants, if the participants are between 11-20 then you may charge them 400/- Rs, and so on.

To add group pricing follow the below steps,

1. Click on Participant type
   
2. Select the Group pricing option available from the options.
   
3. Enter the name and description

5. Enter the charge per participants
   
   
   
   
6. Click on + button to add pricing for next 11-20 participants
   
   
   
   
7. Enter the charge per participants for 11-20 participants
   
   
   
   
   
8. Follow the step 4-7 again till you wish.
   
9. Click on Save.

Creating a Custom Pax type:

Most probably in addition to the basic pax types, you may also want to sell a different pax type which is not defined on the system. You can always add your own pax type.

To add a Custom Pax type please follow the below steps,

1. Click on the Pick a participant type drop-down.
   
2. Select the Custom pax type option available from the options.
   
3. Add the required Pax Name, Description, Price.
   
4. Click on Save.

Setting up Advertised Price

In case you do not wish to display an advertised price (common use-case if your trip is available on request, or completely customized) you can hide the advertised price, as well

The Price Label allows you to add a small text in addition to the advertised price. This helps the customer understand more about the price. 

The 3 options available are as follows,

1. Before: The text here is appended before the Advertised Price. For example, Starting from 1500 Rs.
2. After: The text here is appended after the Advertised Price. For example, 500 Rs per participants.
3. None: You can also opt for no label. This will only display the Advertised price.

Changing currency at a trip level in Prices & Rates:

1. Click on the Currency: INR option.
   
2. Select the preferred currency from the dropdown shown in the pop-up.
   
3. Click on Save  
   

PLEASE NOTE: Changing currency will change currency only for the selected trip. If you change the currency and if your payment gateway does not support the new currency then during payments system will automatically convert your amount into the equivalent amount of the currency supported by the payment gateway.
