Price overrides, fixed-package mode and minimum sessions

The defaults suit most clubs: prices from the duration product, late joiners pay for what's left, packages need at least two sessions. This article covers the three dials when your club works differently.

Per-class price overrides

Any timetable entry can override any of its three rates for that class only, leaving the duration product and every other class untouched. Set them on the entry in Tempo → Timetable.

For each rate, Tempo uses the first value it finds:

The fallbacks mean you can be lazy in a good way: a product with only a regular price still prices every option, and an override on just the full-term rate changes nothing else.

Fixed package prices (late joiners)

Tempo → Settings → Package pricing → Fixed package prices. This is a policy choice about students who join after a period has begun:

• Off (default): a late joiner pays rate × the *remaining* sessions. Fair-by-the-session, and the obvious choice for most clubs.
• On: a late joiner pays the full package price (rate × all the period's sessions, including dates already passed), while their booking naturally only includes the remaining dates. Some schools prefer this: the package price is a fixed commitment to the term, not a per-date sum. The booking and review screens spell out to the member exactly what's included and what the price is, so nobody is surprised.

Minimum sessions for a package offer

Tempo → Settings → Package pricing → Minimum sessions. When fewer remaining dates than this would be included, the package option is hidden and members book the leftover dates as single sessions. Default is 2.

It applies in both pricing modes, and it exists for one reason: with two weeks of term left, "full-term package" is a silly thing to sell, and in fixed-price mode it would even be an expensive one. The full-term option's own visibility rule (offered while dates remain in both halves) still applies independently; see Package rates.
