Managing smart pricing explained

Smart pricing is an enhanced feature that automatically adjusts your online service prices in two ways:  

Surge pricing increases online service prices during peak periods to maximise value. 

Off-peak pricing reduces online service prices to encourage more sales during quiet periods.

When setting up smart pricing, you‘ll need to create pricing rules which allow you to: 

• Change prices during specific times on selected days
• Configure price changes by locations, services and team members

You may want to edit, pause or clear these after the initial setup. This can be done at any time in a just couple of steps.
