If you’d like to offer pricing for children as additional guests (aged 12 and below), you can now do this! Currently, this feature is only available for Australian and UK Hosts.
For example, your base price might be set to 1 guest for $15 and all additional guests for $15. Now, with this new feature, you can set additional adults as $15 and additional children as $5.
To set up child pricing:
- Click on Property from your Host Dashboard
- Click on Sites located next to ‘Overview’
- Click Edit next to the site you would like to edit
- Click on Pricing on the left side of the screen
- Click on Edit all pricing
- Scroll down until you see How much will you charge per additional child (ages 12 or below) per night?
- Update the price
- Select Done at the bottom
Good to know:
- If you offer weeknight discounts, the percentage you set will also apply to the child guest price.
- If you offer custom pricing through your Calendar, your pricing for additional campers will also increase at the same rate that you increase your base price for all future bookings.
- Example: If your base price is normally $50 and your additional guest or child fee is $20, but you increase your base price to $75 (+50%) on a special day, that +50% would also apply to the additional guest and child fee on that special day ($30 instead of $20).
- Example: If your base price is normally $50 and your additional guest or child fee is $20, but you increase your base price to $75 (+50%) on a special day, that +50% would also apply to the additional guest and child fee on that special day ($30 instead of $20).
- Children added to a booking contribute to your total capacity. If you allow up to 4 people per booking (including additional Hipcampers) and 2 adults are booked, only 2 children can be added.
- If you have multiple designated sites, you'll have to set up child pricing for each sites separately.
- If you’d like to offer toddlers or infants to stay free of charge, you can do this! Don’t worry, they’ll still be covered by insurance. You just need to make this clear in your site description.
- If you’re a Host in North America, consider providing a partial refund to campers after they check out for any child guest.
