Zone Pricing

Zone pricing lets you charge different amounts for the same tariff depending on which part of the hall the player is sitting in — without creating multiple tariffs. One tariff configuration, one catalogue entry, multiple prices: Standard at the base rate, Pro at a mid-tier rate, VIP at a premium. The setting lives in the Prices by Zone block inside the tariff card (Usage Policy section). If a zone has no price, the tariff is simply not available for sale on devices in that zone — no separate toggle needed.

A common starting point: Standard is the base price, Pro is 20–30% above it, VIP is 40–60% above Standard. These are parametric benchmarks — set what reflects the hardware difference and demand in your club.

What you will need

• Zones already created in your club — see Zone setup for VIP, Pro, Standard or custom names
• At least one tariff in the Tariffs section — see Creating a tariff
• A role with access to tariff settings (Owner or Administrator with the “Club settings” permission)

Steps

1. Open the tariff card

Go to Tariffs and select the tariff you want to configure. Click the pencil icon to the right of its name to open the editor.

2. Find the Prices by Zone section

Inside the tariff card, locate the Usage Policy block. Within it, find the Prices by Zone row — this is where zone-specific prices are set.

If no zones have been created yet, the system will show a “Zones not configured” message. Set up your zones first, then return to this step.

3. Enter a price for each zone

A separate price field appears for each active zone in your club. Fill in the zones where the tariff should be available; leave the others blank.

Zone	Recommended benchmark	Example with base 200
Standard	Base price	200
Pro	Base × 1.2–1.3	240–260
VIP	Base × 1.4–1.6	280–320

The numbers in the table are parametric benchmarks. Set prices that match the hardware difference and demand in your club.

If a tariff should not be sold in a zone at all — for example, a night tariff that is off-limits in VIP — leave that zone’s field empty. The tariff will simply not appear at the cashier for devices in that zone.

4. Save the tariff

Click Save. Changes take effect immediately: the next sale of this tariff will use the new zone prices. Active sessions that are already running are not recalculated.

5. Verify the result

Switch to the hall view in Shift. Click on a PC in each zone and confirm that the tariff’s sale menu shows the correct price per zone. This is faster than waiting for a real sale to verify.

For a deeper check, compare ARPU by zone through Comparing ARPU by zone: if the markup is working, VIP-ARPU should be proportionally higher than Standard-ARPU.

Combining with schedules

Zone pricing and time-based scheduling work independently and can be combined. A single tariff can have different prices per zone and a schedule restricting its availability to specific hours. If you need different sales schedules per zone — for example, VIP only available on weekends — that requires a separate tariff rather than zone pricing alone.

What next

• To remove a tariff from a specific zone entirely — clear its price field, do not delete the tariff
• For zone-specific sales schedules, create a separate tariff: Tariff schedules
• For discounts on VIP for specific player groups (students, regulars) — configure those through Tariff configuration
