What Are Price Lists?
Want customers who rent for a month to automatically pay less per day than someone renting for a weekend? A Price List is a reusable set of duration-based discount rules. Build it once, then apply it to any order — Rentablez works out the right discount for every line based on how long the rental runs.
Why Use Price Lists?
Instead of hand-editing rates on every long booking, a price list encodes your discount policy in one place:
- Consistency — the same long-term discounts apply across all your orders and staff.
- Speed — pick a list from a dropdown on the order; every eligible line updates instantly.
- Flexibility — keep separate lists for different seasons, customer segments, or campaigns and switch between them.
Price lists discount rental duration. For volume or per-variant pricing tiers on a specific item, see Flexible Pricing Tiers.
How Duration Slabs Work
A price list is made of slabs — contiguous day ranges, each with a discount percentage. Rentablez reads the rental duration and applies the matching slab’s discount.
Example — “Long-Term Rental Discount”:
| Duration | Discount |
|---|---|
| 1–29 days | 0% |
| 30–89 days | 10% |
| 90 days and beyond (∞) | 15% |
A 45-day rental lands in the 30–89 slab and gets 10% off. A 120-day rental gets 15% off.
A few rules the app enforces so slabs stay clean:
- Ranges are contiguous. Each slab’s From day is set automatically from the previous slab’s To day + 1 — there are never gaps or overlaps.
- The last slab is open-ended (∞). Its discount applies to any duration at or beyond its start, so every rental length is always covered.
- Discounts are 0–100%, adjustable in 0.5% steps.
One Discount Type Today
Every price list uses the Duration Discount rule — discount by rental-day slab. It is the only rule type at the moment, so you don’t choose a type when creating one.
Applying to Orders
A price list does nothing on its own — you select it on an order to activate its discounts. Because the discount depends on rental length, price lists apply to rental and lease orders, not sale orders. See Apply a Price List to an Order.
Orders keep their own copy. When you apply a list to an order, the order snapshots that pricing. Later editing, deactivating, or deleting the list never changes orders that already used it.
