How to Use Off-Peak & Peak-Time Timeslot Pricing

This tutorial explains how to configure off‑peak and peak‑time pricing for timeslots in the Toddoo Organiser Portal. These settings allow you to apply different per‑minute rates for specific periods that appear in your booking schedule. You’ll open a resource, add off‑peak and peak‑time blocks, set rates, optionally enable repetition, and save the configuration. Ensure you have an existing booking resource and permission to edit its bookable hours. Once completed, the schedule will display colour-coded blocks for Bookable, Peak hours, and Off‑peak hours.

Estimated time: 5–10 minutes

Tip: Add both off‑peak and peak blocks before saving and use the repeat function to cover longer ranges efficiently.
