This article will cover how to manage and create your products in the ‘Products’ section of the ‘Settings’ menu of the YourDriverApp Web Portal.
Products are a set of vehicle products you can currently only use with your external booking integrations. (these 'Products' are not available for the YourDriverApp solution itself to configure).
Typical examples of products are “Van”, “Economy”, “Premium”, “Lady cab” etc. It is how you offer your services to your customers. It’s also the basis for all the prices you choose to configure.
You need to create products in order to setup Pricing rules. Without products you cannot link any pricing rules to a product which you want to apply to your external booking integration(s).
Product Name
When a group is created, the Web Portal automatically creates your default products based on the 5 vehicle types known in the YourDriverApp environment:
Name: Saloon (type: Saloon)
Name: Estate (type: Estate)
Name: Minivan (type: Minivan)
Name: Bus (type: Bus)
Name: Limo (type: Limo)
Basically, the input in the 'Product' section are the product names you want to use in your external booking interfaces. For example, when you have a passenger app integrated to your group the product names are shown in the vehicle selection screen.
