How prices are worked out

When a service has more than one discount or price change, Cobbtree applies them in a fixed order:

  1. 1
    Base price: the price on your service.
  2. 2
    Smart Pricing: off-peak, peak or last-minute.
  3. 3
    Membership perks
  4. 4
    Promotion: a promo code.
  5. 5
    Loyalty reward
  6. 6
    VAT
  7. 7
    Deposit: taken from the final price.

Example

A £50 service has a 20% off-peak rule, making it £40. The client then uses a £5 promo code, so it's £35. If you're VAT registered, VAT is added to the £35.

Do Promotions and Smart Pricing stack?

Yes, by default. A promotion can still apply after Smart Pricing, including last-minute prices, unless you set the promotion not to stack with Smart Pricing.

Booked prices are locked in

The price is saved when the appointment is booked. Changing a rule, pausing a promotion or rescheduling the appointment won't change it.
