/Multi-day Hire & Rental Bookings - Chobble Tickets
Multi-day hire
Take bookings that span several days, such as equipment hire or venue rental. You set the duration, price each day count, and let buyers choose how long they need.
Bookings that span days
A daily listing can cover more than one
day. You set a duration in days, and each booking occupies that
many consecutive days from the chosen start date.
The length is on the listing's own page, so you can read it without
opening the edit form, and the booking page tells a customer how many
days the booking will cover before they pick a first day.
A listing booked by the day says how long each booking lasts on its own page, without opening the edit form. (src)
Capacity is tracked per day, so a three-day hire starting on Monday
uses one unit of stock on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. For a paid hire,
the complete range is rechecked and uses capacity when payment
confirmation arrives. A paid order that no longer fits is refunded
automatically. Chobble Tickets does not assign individual serialised units.
Buyer-chosen durations and duration pricing
A listing can let the buyer choose how many days to book, up to the
maximum duration you set. You price each day count separately, so
one day might cost £50 and three days £120, and only the day counts
you have priced are offered.
The booking form shows the available durations with their prices,
and the total updates as the buyer picks.
Booking windows
Each daily listing has a booking window: a minimum number of days'
notice a booking needs, and a maximum number of days ahead a
booking can be made. For example, hire bookings could require one
day's notice and be limited to 90 days ahead.
Pay what you want
A listing can let buyers pay more than the listed price. The listed
price acts as the minimum, and you can set a maximum, which is
useful for donations or optional tips on top of a hire.
The amount is validated on the server when the payment completes,
so a buyer cannot pay less than the minimum or more than the cap.
Deliveries and collections
Multi-day hire works with the logistics system.
The drop-off appears on the deliveries run sheet on the first
booked day, and the collection appears on the last booked day of
the hire span.
Agents see both legs with the address, phone number, and a map
link, and mark each one done as it happens.
