Click on Boarding Settings tab.

 

Miscellaneous settings - These options will consider both the drop-off time for the arrival day and pickup time for the departure day.  You need to fill in all the information in order for it to work.

Please note:  In order for the Miscellaneous charges/discounts to apply, both the arrival and departure times have to follow the settings.  In other words, if you charge extra for pets who arrive before 12pm and depart after 2pm, the check-in and checkout time have to fall within your settings.  If the pet arrives before 12pm but departs before 2pm, he will not be charged extra.


Check the box and choose whether this is a Charge or Discount.

 

Enter the amount, either a dollar amount or Day.  For example, you can say $10 or you can say 1/2 a day.  If the charge is $50 per day for boarding, 1/2 is $25.

 

If you choose Day, it will not be a separate line item on the invoice.  Instead, it will add it to the QTY of the boarding stay.  So if you choose 1/2 and the pet stays for 5 days, the invoice will shows 5.5 days of boarding, like below.

The Desc field lets you put your own wording that will show on the invoice in the description column.

 

Choose the times for the drop-off and pickup.


 

So in my example, I want to give a $10 discount to those pets who arrive after 4pm on their checkin day and leave before 10am on their checkout day.

My pet stayed for 9 days and arrived at 4:30pm on checkin day and left at 9:00am on checkout day.  This is what the invoice will look like, a line for Board and a line for the discount.
