Bundles

Package multiple inventory items, gift cards, or memberships into discounted bundles

Bundles let you group multiple items into a single bookable package with a built-in discount. Create themed offerings like a "Family Fun Package" or "Sunset Adventure" that include inventory items, gift cards, or membership tiers at a better price than purchasing each one individually.


Creating a bundle

  1. Navigate to Marketing > Bundles and click + New Bundle.
  2. Enter a name and description for the package.
  3. Choose a discount type (see table below).
  4. Set the discount value (percentage or fixed price amount).
  5. Add items -- select inventory items, gift cards, or membership tiers to include.
  6. Configure each item's quantity and optional per-item settings.
  7. Optionally set availability constraints (start/end dates, max redemptions, location).
  8. Toggle the bundle active or inactive.
  9. Save the bundle.

Item types

Bundles can contain three types of items:

Item typeDescription
InventoryA bookable rental item from your fleet
Gift cardA prepaid gift card with a specified value
MembershipA membership tier enrollment

Each item in the bundle has a quantity and can optionally be marked as a free item (included at no charge) or given a per-item discount percentage when using the per-item discount model.


Discount types

Discount typeHow it works
Percentage offReduces the combined price of all items by a percentage (e.g., 15% off the total)
Fixed priceSets a flat price for the entire bundle regardless of individual item rates
Free itemOne or more items in the bundle are marked as free -- the customer pays for the remaining items at full price

Customer experience

  1. The customer visits the booking widget and sees the bundle as a bookable option alongside individual items.
  2. They select the bundle and choose their date and time.
  3. All items in the bundle are added to the cart with the discount applied automatically.
  4. The customer completes checkout as a single transaction.

Behind the scenes, each item in the bundle creates its own booking record linked by a shared bundle group ID. This means each asset is tracked individually on the operations boards (manifest, journey board, nav board) while the customer sees one unified order.


Redemption tracking

Each bundle card on the management page shows:

  • Redemption count -- how many times the bundle has been purchased
  • Status -- active, inactive, or expired (based on dates and max redemptions)
  • Discount summary -- the type and value of the applied discount
  • Items included -- list of inventory items, gift cards, and memberships in the bundle
Tip

Bundles work well for family packages, adventure combos, and corporate group bookings. Individual items within a bundle are managed separately on the manifest and journey board, so your operations team tracks each asset independently. Use the start/end date fields to create limited-time promotional bundles. The max redemptions cap creates scarcity for special offers.

Troubleshooting

Bundle not showing on the booking widget -- All inventory items in the bundle must be available on the selected date. If any single item is blocked or sold out, the entire bundle is unavailable for that date. Also verify the bundle is marked as active and the current date falls within any configured start/end date range.

Discount not applying correctly -- Double-check the discount type and value in the bundle configuration. For percentage discounts, verify the percentage is set on the bundle level, not on individual items (unless using per-item discount mode).

Bundle shows as expired -- Check whether the end date has passed or the max redemptions cap has been reached. Update the dates or increase the cap to re-activate.
