Aspenware now offers resorts the opportunity to dynamically price add-ons. The benefits of this include enhanced revenue opportunities and an improved guest experience.
Below, we detail the new features and the impact they can bring to your store.
Add-on products are now priced the same as core products
Add-on products will now reflect the same pricing structure as core products, ensuring consistency across the product selection. If base price is added, it will appear as the max price on the selector.
No changes to add-on setup or pricing (tiers cannot cascade across products)
While we’ve made enhancements to pricing and display, there are no changes to the way add-ons are set up. Pricing tiers still do not cascade across products, so you’ll continue to manage each product's pricing independently.
Scenario 1 - Pricing Levels move independently
Imagine there are 2 products for a snowshoe rental- For example
Product A: Stand-alone Snowshoe Rental
Product B: Add on Snowshoe Rental
Both products have Levels (tiers) for pricing.
In this scenario, the tiers will move independently for Product A and Product B. Sales from A will not impact Product B pricing and vice versa.
Scenario 2 - Pricing Levels move together
However, now imagine there are 2 different guided experience products
Product C: Sunrise Snowshoe Hike
Offers Product B (Add on Snowshoe Rental)as an add on
Product D - Moonlit Snowshoe Hike
Offers Product B (Add on Snowshoe Rental)as an add on
Both offer Product B (Add on Snowshoe Rental) as an add on. In this case, all sales that purchase Product B as an add on, whether originating from Product C, or Product D will decrement the levels of Product B and could increase the price of the add-on for both products.
Enhanced data structure for item summary to support dynamically priced add-ons
We’ve improved the underlying data structure used by the item summary to support dynamically priced add-ons. Although the design of the item summary has been updated, there are no functional changes to it. These data structure changes allow dynamically priced add-ons with a base price configured to display price and savings information in a more seamless and consistent manner.
Dynamically priced add-ons now display updated pricing once a date is defined
If an add-on is dynamically priced, its price will now appear once a valid date is set. Furthermore, if a base price is defined for that date, savings information will be shown, encouraging customers to select the add-on and helping to drive conversions.
New Note Alert for unavailable add-ons
A new alert is displayed above dynamically priced add-ons (inventoried/cutoff in the future) that are not yet selectable due to dates not being set. This customizable note, available through language strings and Theme Designer (TD) options, informs users when add-ons are disabled because the date is not set yet, preventing confusion and improving the shopping experience.
Future-Ready Functionality
Built with scalability in mind, with upcoming support for inventoried and cutoff add-ons to further expand flexibility.
