To bulk edit prices in Papalocal, open Change prices on the Rentals Inventory tab. Raise or lower every rental price, or one group's, by a percent or a dollar amount. Preview each new price first. Bookings already made keep their price, and you can undo the change for a week.
Step by step
Before you start: you need a Papalocal account, your rental company on Papalocal and the items you rent.
0:00Open Change prices. In Rentals, on the Inventory tab, open Change prices.
0:06Choose up or down, and by how much. Pick up or down, type the amount and choose percent or dollars. The video raises prices 10 percent.
0:14Pick which items. Leave it on every item, or choose one group, like Water slides.
0:19Choose the rounding. New prices are rounded to the nearest dollar or the nearest $5, or kept to the cent.
0:25Preview it. Tap Preview. Each item shows its price Now and its New price. Nothing has changed yet.
0:32Change them. Tap the Change button, which counts the prices it will change. Bookings already made keep the price they were made with.
0:38Check your inventory. The list shows the new prices. Holiday and last-minute prices still apply on top of them.
0:45Undo it if you change your mind. Tap Undo the last change within a week, and every price goes back to what it was.
Good to know
Rounding moves small prices most. In the video, 10 percent up, rounded to the nearest dollar, turns a $2.50 chair into $3. Choose the cent to keep it exact.
Plan prices move too. Party and overnight plan prices change with the item. With a percent, weekend and weekly prices change as well.
Some prices stay put. A dollar amount leaves extra-day prices alone. An item with no price stays that way, and a lowered price never goes under $1.
Only the last change can be undone. Undo puts back the prices from before your last change, for a week after it.
