What is tiered pricing?

The idea

Tiered pricing charges different hourly rates depending on the length of the booking. Short bookings often pay a higher rate per hour; long bookings get a per-hour discount. It's a clean way to reward members for booking longer blocks without setting up half-day or full-day flat fees.

A worked example

1. Tier 1 — 0 to 2 hours: $100/hr.
2. Tier 2 — 2 to 4 hours: $90/hr.
3. Tier 3 — 4+ hours: $80/hr.
4. A 3-hour booking is charged at $90/hr × 3 = $270.
5. An 8-hour booking is charged at $80/hr × 8 = $640.

When to use it

Tiered pricing works well when you want to encourage members to book longer sessions, fill quiet times, or compete on price for half-day and full-day blocks without committing to a flat-fee model.
