Who this is for: studio operators (admin panel) · Product: Podyx V2
Dynamic pricing lets one price list behave like many. Charge more at peak, less when you are quiet, differently for a returning client than a first-timer, and differently for a four-hour booking than a one-hour one. This is real yield management, and it is the single biggest revenue feature in V2.

🔧 Where to find it
Admin Panel → Dynamic Pricing
⚙️ Turn it on and set the order
Enable dynamic pricing, then choose your pricing order: whether discounts are applied first or at the end. This sounds small and is not. It decides how rules stack, so a client with a loyalty discount and a peak surcharge ends up at a different number depending on which you apply first. Pick one and keep it consistent.
🛠 The rule types
Surcharge. Raise the price for certain days or hours, like Friday evenings.
Discount. Lower it for the times you struggle to fill.
Duration. Change pricing based on how long the booking is, so longer sessions get better rates.
VIP or specific customer. Show special pricing to selected clients, ideal for agencies and repeat B2B.
Loyalty. Reward clients based on how many times they have booked or how much they have spent.
Start from a template for ideas and speed, or a blank rule when you want something specific.
📈 Configuring a rule
Rules follow the same pattern. Set it active or inactive, choose whether the adjustment is a percentage or a fixed amount, then define when it applies: always, within a date range for a holiday or promotion, or on a recurring schedule for the same hours every week.
🎯 Slot overrides beat everything
A slot override targets one specific room, date and time, and it bypasses every other pricing rule. Use it to force a surcharge, a percentage adjustment, or an absolute price on a single slot. Think of it as the top-level rule for when one booking needs to ignore your entire pricing system, like a public holiday or a one-off event.
🧠 Why it matters
You stop leaving money on the table at peak, where demand would have paid more.
You fill dead hours instead of staring at an empty studio.
Loyalty becomes automatic, rewarding good clients without you remembering to.
One flat rate is always wrong twice: too high for quiet times, too low for busy ones.
✅ Summary
Turn it on, decide your pricing order, then build a small set of rules: a peak surcharge, an off-peak discount, and a loyalty reward. Add duration and VIP rules as you learn what your clients respond to, and keep slot overrides for genuine one-offs.
