An Experience is a bookable reservation offering on Tock. Experiences are generally the best option if your offering will be available on a consistent basis, for a prolonged period of time, or has multiple seatings per day. Experiences can be free for guests to book, or you can require a deposit or prepayment.
To create an Experience:
- From the Control Panel tab, click Experiences.
- Click Add experience in the top-right.
- Select the type of reservation you'd like to create:
- Prepaid: a reservation to be paid for in full for an all-inclusive experience. View this article to learn more about prepaid reservations.
- Deposit: a reservation requiring an upfront deposit payment. View this article to learn more about managing deposits.
- Reservation: a standard reservation requiring no deposit.
