Additional discount/fee variables

Casey Z. shared this question 5 years ago

Is there a way to have my contracts show the name and price of each discount and fee, rather than lump them all together?

There is now, yes, but the template needed edited to have the "fees loop" in it.

<div id="repeat_start_fees"></div>
			*feesname* Tax: *feestaxed* <s>*feesorigprice*</s> $*feesprice* 
			<br />
			<div id="repeat_end_fees"></div>
		
If you need help with this, just let us know and we can assign someone to it on Monday when we're back in the office.

Okay thanks. I just found that info and I'm trying to figure out how to add it. I'll let you know if I need help.

Yeah, I'm going to need help. I can get it close to working, but it's not quite right.

Awesome, thanks! One more thing. In order to clean it up a little, is there a way to double the distance charge based on delivery type?

Here's what I mean: We have our mileage charge set at $1.50/mile, which actually works out to .75/mile round trip. That's fine. However, when we do a "Delivery without staff" we have to make a round trip for setup, and another round trip for tear down. Currently we just double the "delivery method fee" for that delivery type, but it's not ideal. For one thing, that leaves the delivery charge too low on long distances. And now, with the changes you made to the contract, it will bring questions from the customer.

I guess my hope is that there is some way to have IO automatically double the distance charge on "Delivery without staff". If not, I think I will need to go back to the old contract for now.

We do not have that feature at this time. We've struggled to find a way for the software to know whether or not that's the case automatically, at least at the time of booking where you would be quoting the customer. Perhaps based on delivery method might be a bit more accurate like you said.

Yes, for us that would be a perfect way to do it. I don't know how any of this works, but in my fantasy world there is a way to add a line of code that says something like: If delivery method is set to "Delivery without staff" then multiply this box by 2.

Is that possible? Or is it more complicated than that? I'm guessing it's more complicated because you can't make that type of change to my account without screwing up everyone else?

It will have to be a new feature. I've submitted the details to the development team.
