This document outlines the different pricing options available for packages within HirePOS, specifically focusing on fixed pricing and dynamic pricing through the Autocalc feature. Understanding these options will help you effectively manage your pricing strategy for various hire durations.

Packages can be set for a "fixed" price that will not recalculate based on the duration of the hire. To establish a fixed price, it is essential to ensure that the Selling Units applied to the package are not time-based units. This means that the "Time Span" and "Interval" values must not have any values set.

Alternatively, packages can be configured to change prices dynamically through the Autocalc feature. This feature recalculates the rates and prices based on the hire duration, allowing for more flexibility in pricing.

When accepting orders via the online store, the Autocalc function ensures that all item rates and prices are recalculated to match the period of hire. For businesses focused on events and party hire, it is recommended to use only non-time-based units in packages. Typically, hires may be structured as weekend or week-long rentals at a fixed rate.

By understanding and utilising these pricing options, you can optimise your package offerings to better meet the needs of your customers.
