    Hello,

    i’m a long time user of your plugin, before renewing my suscription, i have a problem i can’t seem to be able to solve (not with the past version), and i don’t know if the actual version allows for this parameter:

    In the “search shortcode form” (or search shortcode widget for the homepage), is there a way to allow the clients to select a pricing option ? We have a buisness where every object have different princing options (price type), but not being able to select it at the beginning of the process means the selection of each object the people want to rent is lenghtly and not very simple.

    I thank you in advance for your help !

    Best whishes

    Hello Pélican,

    Thanks for your message. We understand the situation, and the price types can be configured at item-level with our plugin by simply defining some rental costs for the various lengths of rentals through the “Fares Table” page.

    This means that you can have different rate plans (types of price) for your items/objects, but the choice of the price type for a specific rental item will only be available during the booking process, in the step right after the search results if booking through a global search form, or if booking through the item/object details page, the page showing the price types and any eventual extra service will actually be the first step of the booking process (search results would be skipped).

    The only filter available for the “Search Form”, both Shortcode and Widget/Block, is the one for the categories. This filter could be enabled from the Configuration page of Vik Rent Items, and the search results would only display the selected category of rental items/objects. Unfortunately, filtering the search results by rate plan (price type) is not allowed, because the search forms do not allow to choose a price type, whose list could vary depending on your rental cost settings.

    Our suggestion in this case is to play with the Categories. Your rental items can be assigned to one or multiple categories, which could be used as a filter on any “Search Form”.

    We hope this helps!
    The VikWP Team
