Packages

Sell several listings together as one package. The buyer books the whole bundle at a set price, with fixed quantities of each item, in a single checkout.

What a package is

A package is a group of listings marked as a bundle. Buyers book the whole package or none of it - there is no picking individual items out of the bundle.

Each member listing carries a fixed quantity, which is how many of that item one package includes. Booking two packages books two of everything.

A hire company could sell a party package of one marquee, ten chairs, and one generator. A venue could sell a ticket and meal bundle, where every booking includes one ticket and one meal.

Package pricing

Each member can carry its own price inside the package. A member with no override charges its normal listing price, a positive override replaces that price, and an override of zero makes the item free within the bundle.

Members whose day count is customisable can also carry per-day price overrides, so a three-day booking of the package can cost a different amount per item than a one-day booking. A flat member override still wins over both.

The public package page shows one bundle total. For a customisable package, each offered day count is shown with its own whole-bundle price.

Hidden members

A package can hide its member listings, so buyers only ever see the package name. Hidden members do not appear on public pages, in the public API listing endpoints, or on tickets and confirmation emails, which show the package name instead.

Members can also have required child listings, such as add-ons the buyer picks per member. Capacity checks cover the whole bundle, so a package can only be booked when every member and every required child has room.

Packages in the API

Packages are available through the public API. GET /api/packages/:slug returns the bundle's name, price, remaining availability, and (for a visible package) its members, and POST /api/packages/:slug/book books whole bundles with the same validation the web page uses.

See the public API page for how API access works.
