Custom Service Pricing and Duration by Client

Modified on Thu, 16 Jan at 12:48 PM

You have the option to establish custom prices or durations for specific clients, pets, or family members, which will automatically apply to all future in-store and online bookings. This eliminates the need to make adjustments each time a client schedules an appointment. You can manage these settings either through the scheduler or within the client's profile. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to set custom durations and prices for clients.


Things to know:

  • Custom pricing and duration are independent of one another   
  • Custom price and duration won't be applied retroactively to appointments that are already in your calendar. They will only be applicable to future appointments.
  • When a custom price or duration is set for a client, pet, or family member, and that client books online, the widget will display the custom price or duration.
  • For pet businesses, setting a custom price or duration overrides the pricing and duration set by breed on the service menu.
  • If the general pricing and duration for a service change on the service menu, the custom price or duration set will not be affected
  • For accounts with the "Multi-Staff Appointments" setting enabled, the ability to configure custom prices and durations is unavailable on the appointment modal.
  • Once a staff member has the "Edit Client Information" or "Edit Appointments" access control setting enabled, they will have the ability to set custom pricing and duration. However, if you wish to allow staff members to edit client information and appointments but prevent them from saving custom pricing or duration, a hidden setting needs to be enabled. To enable this hidden setting, please contact our support team at support@mytime.com.
