Our Booking and Appointment Plugin for WooCommerce follows a tiered pricing model when the booking type is duration-based booking. This means if the booking price of the product is set to 100, then the cost for a 1-hour duration is $100, and for 2 hours it is $200, and so on.
But in case you want to change this pricing logic and set customized price for each timeslot, you can effortlessly achieve this using the code snippet below. Let’s dive in to learn how to customize the pricing based on appointment durations.
