Introduction
PRODUCT TIMERS will be useful to sell time based services like SWIMMING POOL or TIMER BASED BUFFET, etc.
Configuration
In this example, lets create a Timer Based Buffet. Here are the steps to configure it
STEP 1: We need to have a Product first before we configure Product Timer.
Please refer the following page for adding the Product
STEP 2: Go to Products -> Product Timers -> Add Product Timer. The following screen will appear.
NAME | Name of the Timer |
PRICE DURATION TYPE | Buffet Value is 15$.
Duration helps to identify how pricings are going to be calculated
For Example, the Base Price of the Product should be calculated for an hour or for an minute.
|
PRICE DURATION | It represents the Duration.
If we give the Price Duration Type as Minute and Price Duration as 30.
The customer will be charged for 15$ for every 30 Minutes.
|
MIN TIME | This parameter helps to configure in what interval the calcualtion will be effected.
For Example 1,
Duration Type is Minutes Duration is 30 Min Time is 15
The user will be charged for Minimum of 15 Minutes which is 15/2 (7.5)
For Example 2,
Duration Type is Minutes Duration is 30 Min Time is 60
The user will be charged for Minimum of 60 Minutes which is 15*2 (30). |
START TIME | Start Time is mainly used when to start calculating.
This will be used in SWIMMING POOL Kind of Scenarios.
The Swimming Pool will be opened at 9AM in the Morning and Closed at 5PM in the evening.
The Customers are allowed to use the POOL. Whenever they go, it has to be paid for the Time Since 9AM. |
TIME ROUNDING | How to round the Time Duration.
