Reviewing and Updating Your Custom Rates

See every client on a custom rate, then update, replace, or remove them in bulk.

Custom rates give specific clients their own price for a service. Once you've set a few, you'll want a place to see who's on what rate, bump a group up when you raise defaults, or phase out an old tier you no longer want.

The Custom rates view does all of that in one place.

It's the right tool for:

  • Seeing every client who pays a custom rate, grouped by service

  • Bumping a grandfathered group up partway when you raise defaults again

  • Phasing out an old grandfathered tier so those clients pay your current default

For setting up a single client's custom rate, see the Setting a Custom Rate for a Specific Client article. For raising your default rates and grandfathering existing clients in one pass, see Raising or Changing Your Default Prices .


Where to Find It

From Services, click Update Prices in the top right, then pick Manage custom rates. The number next to the menu item is your current count.


The Walk-Through

One running scenario:

You have three custom-rate tiers on your 30-minute walk: 30 grandfathered clients at $20, 4 friends-and-family clients at $18, and 2 corporate clients on a $35 premium. Your default is $25. You want to bump the $20 tier to $23 and remove the $18 tier so those clients pay your $25 default. The $35 corporate tier stays where it is.

Step 1: Review. The first screen lists every service with at least one custom rate. For each pricing option you'll see your default, a range of the custom rates set (for example, "default $25 β†’ $18-$35"), and a clickable client count.

Click the client count to pop the full list of clients on that pricing option. Click any name to jump to their profile and edit their rate one-on-one if you prefer.

Tick the checkbox on each pricing option you want to change. For our scenario, we tick the 30-minute walk.

Step 2: Adjust. Each pricing option you ticked expands into one row per unique custom rate (a "tier"). Pick an action per tier:

Action

What it does

Use it for

Keep current rate

The tier stays exactly as is.

Tiers you don't want to touch this run.

Change to a new rate

Every client on the tier moves to the rate you type.

Bumping a grandfathered group partway up.

Reset to default

Deletes the custom rate. Those clients pay your current default.

Phasing out an old grandfathered tier.

For example: On the $20 tier we pick Change to a new rate with $23. On the $18 tier we pick Reset to default. The $35 tier stays on Keep current rate.

A Drop all custom rates link at the top removes every custom rate on the services you ticked. Use it when you're ending a grandfathering arrangement entirely.

Step 3: Preview. A summary of every change: from rate, to rate, and how many clients are affected. Click Update N rates to apply.

If any of the affected clients have upcoming bookings on those services, you'll see a checkbox: Also re-price N upcoming bookings at the new rates. Check it to update those bookings and any draft invoices they sit on.

‼️ Heads up: When you check "re-price upcoming bookings," any manual line-item edits you've made on those clients' draft invoices get overwritten. If you've hand-tweaked a price on a draft, leave the box unchecked.

Past and finalized invoices are never touched, with or without the checkbox.
