Group Pay: Calculating Guest Shares

Customers can assign items to each guest so they know how much to pay. Sometimes customers will purchase different items and add-ons than the other members of their group, so it doesn’t always make sense to split the cost of the booking evenly. 

Once a lead booker sets up guests, the lead booker will be able to assign items to them. Easol will calculate the suggested share amount based on their individual items - so no one is stuck paying more than they need to. 

• Assignable items are items in the booking that have at least the basic guest fields (name, email address) turned on.
• Non-assignable items are items in the booking that do not have guest fields turned on.

The calculation principles are as follows:

• Assign the full price of each assignable per person variant to the guest it is assigned to.
• Assign an equal share of the price of each assignable per unit variant to all guests it is assigned to.
• Assign an equal share of the price of each non-assignable variant to all guests on the booking.
