Sq Ft Based Pricing

Square-footage-based pricing charges different rates by property size. Larger properties take more time and effort, so tiered pricing keeps your rates matched to the actual scope of work. You can tier both price and on-site duration.

How it works

Instead of one fixed price, you define square-footage ranges and assign a price (or duration) to each. When a client enters the property's square footage during ordering, the system finds the matching tier and applies it. For example, a 1,500 sq ft condo falls in the "0 to 2,000" tier at $150, while a 6,000 sq ft estate falls in the "4,001 and above" tier at $275.

Setting up pricing tiers

On a service, set the pricing type to Tiered and add tiers. Each tier has a price, a minimum square footage, and a maximum (leave the last tier's maximum blank for "and above"). New tiers auto-fill their minimum from where the previous tier ended.

Example:

The rules

The system enforces these when you save:

• At least 2 tiers (for a single price, use Fixed pricing instead).
• The first tier must start at 0, so every property falls into a tier.
• Tiers must be contiguous with no gaps or overlaps. If one ends at 2000, the next starts at 2001.
• Every tier needs a price above $0.
• Only the last tier can have a blank maximum.

Duration tiers

You can also vary on-site duration by size, so your schedule reflects that a larger home takes longer to shoot. In the service, set the duration type to Tiered and add tiers with a duration (in minutes), minimum, and maximum. The same rules apply.

Pricing tiers and duration tiers are independent. You can have 4 pricing tiers and 3 duration tiers, as long as each set is valid on its own.

Sq ft pricing on packages

Packages can use square-footage tiers too, but the package tier sets the total bundle price for a range, not a per-service price. Edit a package, choose the sqft tiered discount type, and add tiers with the same editor.

If a package instead uses Percent Off or Dollar Off and includes services with square-footage pricing, the package price adjusts with property size automatically.

What clients see

Before a client enters square footage, tiered services and packages show "Starting at $X" (the lowest tier). Once they enter it in the Property step, prices update in real time to the exact amount. Square footage becomes required if any selected service or package uses square-footage pricing or duration, and the client can't pass the Property step without it.

Editing tiers

Change a tier's values directly and save the service or package. Deleting a tier may leave a gap, so fill it before saving. Tiers always display lowest to highest; to reorder, adjust the min/max values.

Tips

• Plan your breakpoints first. Common ones are 2,000, 3,500, and 5,000 sq ft.
• Three to four tiers is usually enough. Too many gets confusing.
• Match pricing and duration breakpoints where you can; it's easier to reason about.
• Test with real numbers on your order form to confirm prices and durations look right.
• Duplicate a similar service to start with its tiers in place, then adjust.
