1.6 Planning your Pricing Models
The Planning module of WattStation Connect enables you to configure, plan, and
remotely manage pricing policies to better attract business, and offer advantages to
your customers.
This module allows you to dynamically set pricing by user, and by station or station
groups. You can choose different pricing on different days such as weekends and
holidays to attract business. You can predefine several parameters and manage them
remotely to make sure that your pricing reflects your business goals.
TIP
You must set up your PayPal account (through the Settings tab) before you start
implementing any pricing models at your WattStation. If you do not have a PayPal
account set up, you will not be able to receive payments for any WattStation
transactions even if the pricing models take effect.
To access the Planning module, click the Planning tab in the menu bar. If this is the
first time you are setting up the Planning features, the following page displays:
Several parameters are listed in the pane on the left hand side. Use these parameters
to define your pricing rules. The right hand side of the page displays how each user or
station is set up with the pricing rules and when these rules are applied.
1.6.1 Adding a Pricing Rule
You can add, delete, or modify a pricing rule for different sets of users according to
different time and date patterns, and apply different pricing models to the pricing
rules.
To define a new pricing rule for a user, follow these steps:
1. Click the add icon from the task bar.
A new row appears under the Pricing Rules pane.
2. Click Stations or Station Groups in the left panel. A list of stations or station
groups will display. Drag and drop your selection to the Stations column which
reads ‘All’. The word ‘All’ will be replaced with a Station name or Station Group
name you selected. To remove your selection, simply click the delete icon on
the tab (not the icon at the end of the row).
