After you have created your tour, the next step is to decide how to sell your seats. Would you like to give your customers a discount if they travel in groups? Would you like to allow one person to buy multiple tickets? Or are tickets supposed to be limitedly sold on a person by person basis? With TrekkSoft, you can create any of these Price Categories easily! After saving your tour, TrekkSoft will direct you to the “Trip Details” page, where you will be asked to fill in your price category. Here, TrekkSoft offers your company three different kinds of Price Categories, which are the actual prices the customer will pay when booking the trip:

1) Single Seat: Sells one seat on the trip. Best for only selling one ticket at a time.

2) Multiple Seats: Sells multiple seats for one fixed price. With  this option, you may also place restrictions under the “Description” category. For instance, you can create a Family Package where 4 seats are sold for one price. However, in order to use this discount, two of the four customers must be adults and the other two must be children. People who book a multi-seat ticket, but do not conform to the defined restrictions, may be denied entry to the tour or charged an extra fee.

3) Group Bookings: Sells a block of seats at a reduced price. To receive the group rate, a minimum of ‘X’ amount of seats must be purchased at any one time.

Select the price category you wish to use for your tour from the drop down menu. Any trip or trip series may have multiple price categories which customers can book, such as Adult, Child, Group Price, and Special Package.You have the ability to name the price and further define the price structure that suits your trip best. Additionally, all three of the price categories allow you to sell seats as vouchers, choose booking restrictions, create a brief description, and determine the price for each selection.

After you have created the price categories, make sure you activate them. Go to “Trips” under “Tours/Addons,” and you will see the trip that you have created. Click “Add Trip” or “Add Trip Series” and select the trip that you wish to activate. At the bottom of that page, under Price Categories, check the categories that you intend to include on the trip. At the time, you can also limit the amount of seats sold within the category.

Charge based on seating

TrekkSoft also allows you to sell specific seats for different prices. In order to do this, click on the “Edit Special Prices” button (the button on the left of the pencil) after you have created your price categories. By doing so, you will have the option to adjust prices specifically according to the position of the seats. For example, while seats 1-5 may cost $10, seats 6-10 may cost $20. Seats that are not mentioned are sold for the default price you selected during the original process.

Adding a Trip Series

With the Trip Series option, you have the option of creating a series of departures for one trip. This allows you to create a daily trip timetable or specific days/times when the trip is available for departure. On your left navigation bar, scroll over “Tours/Addons,” and select ‘Trips’. On this page, click on the “Add Trip Series” button at the top of the page, which will lead you to have the option of selecting which Trip you would like to adjust to a series.

Change the Structure of the Trip Altogether

In addition to making pricing easier, TrekkSoft allows you to use bulk change to edit the duration and maximum capacity of all the trips in a series at once.In order to edit any one trip individually, make sure to unlink the trip from the series. However, be sure that is what you want, because once a trip is unlinked from the series, it must be edited or deleted one by one, and it is not possible to re-link a trip once it has been unlinked. Lastly, if the trip series is over, you also have the option of deleting all of the trips at once. Again, proceed with caution because this action cannot be undone. Payment customization has never been simpler with TrekkSoft!
