This article explains how to set up pre-order upgrades for bookings, allowing businesses to offer extra products or services during the booking process. It details steps for configuring upgrades, including naming, pricing, images, restrictions, and availability, and notes that Stripe or Square is required for payment processing.
Pre-orders are a great way to add a bonus for customers who book with you. Pre-orders allow you advertise extra products or upgrades to the bookings that are purchasable from the booking page.
1. Go to Bookings
To set up events, go to Bookings to open the dashboard.
(If you have only one venue, selecting Venues will take you straight to your Bookings.)
1.5. Select Venue
If you have multiple venues, you will need to choose the one you want to configure. Select venues to open the list.
Listed venues will pop up; simply select the one you want to configure.
2. Open Settings
Settings is where all venue settings for bookings can be created and enabled.
Step 3: Open Upgrades
Open the events option to begin to set up your event page.
4. Create Upgrade
Once open, you’ll see a list of all current upgrades you have created. To create a new one, click Create Upgrade.
5. Configure the Event Settings
Basic Information:
- Import from Square: If you have integrated your Square account and already have items available, you can import these into Stampede.
- Active status: Toggle if the upgrade is available.
- Name: Add a name for the upgrade.
- Price: Set the price for your upgrade.
- Description: Enter a summary and details of the upgrade.
Images:
- Header and Gallery Images: Add images for the upgrade that advertise the product.
Restrictions:
- Set Party Sizes: Set the maximum and minimum party sizes for which this upgrade is enabled (e.g. Parties of 4 - 8 are only eligible for the upgrade)
- Limit Quantity to Party Size: If there are no restrictions, toggle this to set the upgrade limit to the party size or let customers purchase more than their party size.
- Allergen Information: Toggle to enable the option for guests to enter their allergen information ahead of time (Note: You will need to add all relevant allergens under Allergen Options)
- Dietary Requirements: Toggle to enable the option for guests to enter their dietary requirements ahead of time
Availability Hours:
Setting the time that the upgrade is available means that your upgrade options won't show up just for any type of day. For example, if your upgrade is dinner-specific, then this won't be available for breakfast or lunch bookings.
That's It!
Now that your upgrade is created, customers will be able to add these into their bookings. This option will be available on the final booking page before confirming the booking.
Pro Tip: Upgrades require a Stripe or Square account to process the payment.
