Customers see an old or unexpected price

Why a price on the booking page or at checkout is not the one you set.

You changed a price, but a customer is quoting the old one, or the total at checkout is not what you expected. Almost always the price on the screen is right for a reason that is not obvious.

Most likely causes, in order

  1. The change was not saved. Go to More → Business → Services & Pricing, change the price, and press Save Changes.
  2. The customer's booking was made before the change. Existing bookings keep the price they were made at. Changing a service or a pricing rule never edits a booking that is already made.
  3. A pricing rule is adding or removing money. Holiday and peak dates, extra per night for bigger dogs, the long-stay discount and the second-dog discount all change the final price. Customers see a short note explaining it as they book. Check Pricing Rules, and the second-dog discount in Settings. See Holiday, bigger-dog and long-stay pricing rules.
  4. Tax is added on top. If your prices are set as before tax, the tax is added when the customer books, so the total is higher than the listed price. Check your tax settings. See Set your time zone, currency and sales tax.
  5. Add-ons are extra. Add-ons are a flat price per booking, not per night, and are charged on top.
  6. It is a deposit. If deposits are on, the card charge may be only the deposit, with the full price still shown on the booking.
  7. Their browser is showing an old copy. Ask them to refresh the page or open it in a private window.
