Booking page: hours per day, “Date is flexible”, surcharges and questions

Services per hour count per day on multi-day events, “Date is flexible” calculates correctly, no amount appears without “Show prices”, surcharges require a product, and a question belongs either to the page or to a product.

Fixed

  • Multi-day events: hours per day. Services “per hour” and “per person and hour” on an event spanning several days now count each day with that day’s times: 2 days from 10 am to 6 pm are 16 hours. Previously the price overview showed the hours of a single day, while the inquiry charged the whole span from the first start to the last end. If a day has its own times, those count; a missing value is taken from the start or end of the booking. The price overview, the product card, the summary and the inquiry now show the same duration and the same amount, also with a discount code. The same hours apply to the hourly room rent, answer options with a surcharge, package components and the quote created from the inquiry, and the event’s daily times show exactly these times. If a time slot of the venue is booked on one of the days, the event still covers all booked days.
  • Webshop with a cart per day. A service “per hour” on a given day counts that day’s times, without its own times the regular times on that day, and never the whole event. Product card, cart and order match.
  • “Date is flexible” in the inquiry form calculates correctly. Anyone who first entered a multi-day event and then ticked “Date is flexible” sent today as the start together with the old end date — a service “per hour” arrived in the inquiry with more than 200 hours. The checkbox now clears the date, the end date and “Multi-day event”, and display and inquiry calculate with the same day.
  • No amounts without “Show prices”. The inquiry form, the AI chat and the webshop still stated an estimated total in the last step or on the thank-you page even when the page shows no prices. This is gone now. With a direct payment the amount is still shown.
  • Inquiry form without a guest count. If no guest count was entered yet, the sidebar said “No products selected.” although products were selected. It now lists the selected products, and for services “per person” the sidebar, the submit row and the price bar on mobile ask for the number of guests before showing an amount.
  • English booking page with English dates. On the English version, the summary and the sidebar showed the weekday in German (“Mittwoch, 21. Oktober”). The date now appears in the language of the page.
  • Surcharges on answer options require a product. A surcharge on an answer option is only charged when a product is linked. In the question dialog the surcharge field is now locked without a product, and removing the product removes the surcharge too. On the booking page a surcharge only appears on answers with a product. Previously a surcharge could show there that was never charged.
  • A question belongs either to the booking page or to a product. A question attached to a product can no longer also be selected as a question for the whole booking page, and vice versa. Both editors show locked questions together with the product or booking page they already belong to. This way no question appears twice.
