Tariff in IZI — What It Is and How It Works

Published: 2026-05-30 · Updated: 2026-06-20 (13 days ago)· IZI Team

A tariff in IZI is the rule that governs gaming time sales: it sets the price, expiration conditions, availability schedule, and refund policy on early exit. Every session at a station is opened under a specific tariff — the cashier selects it at the desk or the player buys it through the app. There are three base types by behavior: hourly (player pays for a package of hours), unlimited (player pays for a time window — night, morning), and package multipass (prepaid hour bundle with an expiration deadline).

For the club owner, a tariff is the primary pricing tool: it covers zone pricing (VIP costs more than Standard within the same tariff), group discounts, sales channel restrictions (POS, kiosk, mobile app), and the maximum share payable with bonus balance. Unlike a simple price tag, a tariff bundles together every dimension of the sale — who can buy it, when it goes on sale, how long it stays valid, and what happens to leftover time when the player logs out. This combination of rules makes it possible to run a night unlimited, a student discount package, and a standard hourly rate simultaneously, each with its own constraints, without duplicating configuration across zones or shifts. IZI enforces no cap on the number of active tariffs, so clubs can maintain a finely segmented grid that matches their actual demand patterns.

What a Tariff Is Made Of

Every tariff in IZI consists of four configuration blocks.

Expiration Rules

Define when purchased time stops being valid. In Tariffs → Expiration Rules five types are available — details on each: tariff expiration rules.

Rule	Expires when
N days after purchase	On day N from the sale date
N days after first use	On day N from the first activation
After N hours consumed	When total time reaches N hours
After N sessions	After N sessions on this tariff
On a fixed date	On a specific calendar date

Multiple rules can be combined — the tariff expires on whichever event comes first. The standard practice for multipass is “after N hours” plus “N days after purchase”: the bundle is consumed by usage but cannot sit idle on an account indefinitely.

Sales Policy

Controls when and where the tariff is available for purchase:

Sales schedule — the tariff appears at the POS only during set hours. A night tariff with a 23:00–07:00 schedule is physically invisible to the cashier during daytime.
Sales channels — CRM POS, self-service kiosk, IZI mobile app. Any combination can be enabled.

One tariff can have multiple sales policies — for example, different schedules for weekdays versus weekends.

Usage Policy

Defines how the tariff is applied after purchase:

Start schedule — when a session can be opened on the purchased tariff.
Extra completion window — the player can finish their session even after the main schedule has closed.
Zone pricing — the same tariff costs more in the VIP zone than in the Standard zone, without duplicating settings.

Refund Policy

What happens to unused time when a session is ended manually:

Keep the remainder — time stays on the tariff; the player returns and continues later.
Burn the remainder — unused time is cancelled.
Convert to bonus balance — the remainder is recalculated into bonus balance proportionally.

Why This Matters for Club Owners

The tariff grid directly affects three metrics: average order value (AOV), off-peak utilization, and repeat visit frequency. A night unlimited fills hours that would otherwise sit at zero load. A multipass with a deadline creates urgency — the player knows the package will expire and comes in more often. Capping the bonus-payment share protects real revenue when a loyalty program is running hot.

IZI puts no limit on the number of tariffs. A typical club runs 5–10 entries: daytime, night, weekend, package, student. The more tariffs you have, the more important it is to organize them into categories so the cashier does not get lost at the POS.

Where to Find It in IZI

All club tariffs live in the Tariffs section of the CRM. Schedules, categories, discounts, and expiration rules are all there too. To create a new tariff, click Add Tariff and fill in the four blocks above in sequence.

Tariff analytics (revenue and sales count per tariff) are in Analytics → Tariff Sales — it shows which positions drive the bulk of revenue and which can be retired.

Multipass — package tariff for a prepaid number of hours
Tariff expiration rules — when purchased time stops being valid
Tariff schedule — availability windows: days of the week, hours, dates
Bonus balance — account that can receive the remainder when a tariff expires

Frequently asked questions

What is a tariff in IZI?

A tariff is the rule that governs gaming time sales: it defines the price, expiration conditions, refund policy, and availability schedule. Every session at a station is opened under a specific tariff — the cashier selects it at the desk or the player purchases it through the app.

How is a tariff different from a simple hourly price?

A tariff is a full set of rules: who can buy it, when, at what price per zone, what happens to unused time on exit, and what share can be paid with bonus balance. The hourly price is just one of several parameters.

What types of tariffs does IZI support?

Three base types by behavior: hourly (player pays for a volume of hours), unlimited (player pays for a time window — night, morning), and package multipass (prepaid hour bundle with an expiration deadline).

When does a tariff expire?

Depending on the rules configured: N days after purchase, N days after first use, after N hours consumed, after N sessions, or on a fixed date. Multiple rules can be combined — the tariff expires on whichever event occurs first.
