If your business offers different pricing, hours, or availability throughout the year, you can create Seasons in BookingCentral. Seasons allow you to manage things like peak vs. off-season pricing, holiday schedules, or yearly rate changes.
Even if you create a new season each year, setting up Seasons is important because they’re used when building your Price List for rentals and tours.
You should enable Seasons if you:
adjust pricing throughout the year
operate with peak and off-season rates
change hours by season
increase prices annually
run special seasonal schedules
To create a Season, go to Settings - My Business - Hours
Select Enable Seasons.
Click +Add Season to create a Season. Enter the Season name, Valid Dates, and hit OK to save.
Continue to use +Add Season to create additional seasons.
See it in action:
When you create Seasons, you're now able to:
- Set different opening / closing Hours per season. This is helpful if you stay open later during your prime season (e.g. Summer).
- Set different prices per season. This action is done in the Rental or Activity settings, on the Price List page.
Important! When you add a new season or create a season for each year, you must go to Settings - Rentals or Tickets - Price List and assign new or copy rates to the season.
