Add a trip type
Create a trip type — the species, duration, pricing, and logistics for a kind of trip you offer.
A trip type is the foundation of everything you sell. It defines a species, duration, price, and logistics for one kind of trip (for example 'Salmon' or 'Fly Fishing — Trout'). Seasons, bookings, and pricing all hang off it, so it's the first thing to set up.
Create one
- Go to Trips in the sidebar and choose Add Trip.
- Step 1 — Details: name it, set the species, duration in days, guiding ratio, and an optional description.
- Step 2 — Pricing & logistics: choose package or day-rate pricing, set the price per person, deposit %, optional license fee, optional access fee, and optionally the water, meeting point, inclusions/exclusions, and cancellation policy.
- Save. You can add pricing variations (e.g. 1-on-1 vs 2-on-1) on the same form.
Pricing lives on the trip type — seasons inherit it, so you don't re-enter prices per season. Trip type names are unique within your outfit.
Package price or daily rate
A package price is one price for the whole trip. A daily rate is priced per angler per day, and the trip price is the rate multiplied by the number of days booked — so a 5-day trip at $400/day comes to $2,000 per angler. Day-rate pricing is for multi-day trips only: set a whole-number duration of 2 days or more and the option becomes available. Single-day trips price the whole boat at once (a base price plus each additional angler), which is a different model, so the two can't be mixed on one trip type.
On a day-rate trip you can also set a daily rate for non-fishing companions. It fills in each companion's charge on a new booking (rate × days) and stays editable there, so a companion who joins for part of the trip is a quick edit rather than a re-quote.
Two kinds of flat fee
The license fee is for government licenses and catch cards you pass through at cost — it isn't taxed, and it bills as its own invoice. The access fee is your own flat charge per angler — a launch fee, a day-use fee, or private water access, for example — charged once per booking no matter how long the trip runs. It's taxed like the trip price and folds into the deposit and balance. You can rename how it appears to clients ('Access fee', 'Launch fee', 'Day-use fee'…).
The access fee is per angler, so a boat of four pays four of them — including on a single-day trip, where the trip price itself already covers the whole boat.
Trip types are unlimited on every plan. A trip type that has seasons can't be deleted — it's deactivated instead, to protect historical bookings.
