Day Rates

If you set up day rates, you will be able to charge different rates for different times and different days of the week. You can, for instance, use the concept of happy hours, i.e. hours during which the use of your terminal will be more (or less) expensive than usual.
Important:
If you use zone rates in addition to day rates, you should always use multipliers as well.
You can use the add, edit and delete functions to manage your day rates.
1. Time periods and rates
Proceed as follows to set up time periods and rates:

1. Select a color.
2. Click on the timeline to assign the color to one or several time periods.
3. Set the rate you which to apply to the time period you defined.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 if you wish to set up several time periods with different rates.

2. Weekdays
As a last step, you will have to select the weekdays on which the selected rate is supposed to apply.
Press All to assign the rates you set above to the entire week. You can select individual days by clicking on them.
Grayed-out days indicate that they can no longer be selected and have already been assigned different day rates.
3. Tips and recommendations

1. SiteRemote provides a good overview of the times your terminal is in use. It might be a good idea to reduce the rates for hours during which the terminal is not used that much. Similarly, you might want to increase the rate for the hours during which the terminal is used extensively. If you follow these tips, you will operate your terminals at maximum efficiency and possibly with increased profits.
2. You can use the service rates to charge for applications, downloads, and other services.
3. Define zone rates including a multiplier if you have set day rates.
4. The Start Page is free as a general rule as long as no credit is available.
5. When switching zones, the user will always be charged at the rate that applies to the most expensive zone that is currently active.
