Setting up bin hire....
Hi there,
New to the service but looking to create a booking platform for my simple skip hire business... standard hire 2 days... except for a weekend special which will be Friday to Monday (3 days for the price of two). Is this easily doable? I think it should be as only actually one inventory item, the skips. Just a couple different options to include. This weekend special (as I wont drop of or pick any up on a weekend), a standard cost for extra days, and a cheaper rate for Green Waste hires. Even better if I could break the day up into 2-3 hour slots for when they would like it dropped off to them in the first place. Any help or guidance on how to get the ball rolling the right way as I have muddled around with somewhat limited success thus far. Cheers, Willy.

Thank you for using our Forums! I'm glad to help.
You can implement the limitation of no pickup/drop-offs on Saturday or Sunday by using a required-hidden add-on that is not available on Saturdays or Sundays, this serves as a sort of placeholder item.
Second, you'd need a couple of special item events to add the conditional pricing for weekend bookings and for bookings that overlap with weekends.
Lastly, if you're wanting to ask for specific drop-off/pickup timeslots, I'd also suggest relying on packaged add-ons.
Since this is a more advanced setup, I'd suggest reaching out to us directly at support@checkfront.com so that we can provide some further account-based help.
