ParkWhiz: Create Transient Prices for Reservations

Modified on Mon, 29 Sep at 7:22 PM




Additional Transient Pricing Information


How multiple transient pricings interact:

  • The rate engine will return the cheapest price available for the period searched.

  • A booking can be made from ONE transient pricing or rate band only.

  • Separate reservations transient pricings do not stack.

In-Depth Look: Valid Times

  • Valid times determines the period that pricing is available for.
  • Pricing will only be returned if parking start and end time falls within Valid Times.

Valid Time” settings which translate to 24/7 availability


How pricing stacks over a 24/7 period:



Manipulating the Valid Times field for non-24/7 locations

  • The system reads 12:00 am as 00:00 or the first minute of the Day

  • What the +Days setting does is add 1 calendar date change to the start time

The way to read this is, from Sun 00:00 to Mon 00:00 (Sunday start of day to Monday start of Day)


Since the calendar date changes at midnight, setting “Days” to zero results in an error 



Here is another example:

  • Monday, from 5:00 am to 5:00 pm that same day


In-Depth Look: Overnight Parking Checkbox

  • The overnight checkbox has a specific function: it is to allow the rates to jump over and stack over the period that is not included in the valid times. 





When you're ready, scroll down to the bottom and click the Save Changes button. The system will return you to the Reservations page and confirm that the price was successfully created.



How to Edit Pricings


  1. Click the pricing to be edited.
  2. Update the relevant fields.
  3. Click Save Changes.



How to Delete Pricings


There are two ways to delete a pricing configuration: 


  • Pause pricing: Keeps the pricing in the list but grays it out.




  • Deactivate pricing: Removes the pricing from active use.



Notes

If an error occurs during price creation, a message will appear at the top of the editing page after clicking Save Changes. Review all fields and ensure all required information is entered correctly.
