How do I sell a private room during public hours with add-ons, not only a full buyout?
Offer private sauna or cold plunge access during shared hours with checkout add-ons, not only a full-space buyout.
Spaces support shared, private, and buyout modes; private is a session type on the room during public hours, not only a full-space buyout lock. Checkout add-ons attach extras on the same reservation without locking the whole space.
What Zettlor does today
A space can run dual-mode: shared seats plus private sessions on the same calendar. A private offering on the space sells a private room slot. Add-ons at checkout layer towels, aromatherapy, or other catalog items. Full buyout uses a separate space lock.
This behavior is live in Zettlor today for a commercial sauna and cold plunge room. Guest booking, cancel, and credit self-serve steps stay on Help. This page is for operators.
Desk path
Scheduling → Configuration for private vs shared on the space; offering add-on catalog at checkout; Schedule to verify private rows.
Do not invent a settings path beyond what is listed here. If the product does not include a control, the desk workaround is the path.
Failure mode
Operators only configure buyout locks when they want a private hour. They skip private session type and miss add-on revenue during public hours.
Operator example
Reddit NYC sells a private sauna hour during evening shared hours with add-on cold plunge tokens at checkout, without locking the entire room for buyout.
A sauna and cold plunge operator can copy the shape of this example without copying another brand's private pricing or customer lists.
How to do this
- Configure the sauna or cold plunge space for shared and private session types.
- Create a private offering on that space with the repeating schedule template you want.
- Attach add-on catalog items to the offering for checkout extras.
- Generate slots and confirm private rows appear alongside shared seats on Schedule.
- Use a space buyout lock only when you need a full buyout, not for a single private hour.
Related questions
Is private the same as buyout?
No. Private is a session type with its own capacity. Buyout locks the space so no other sessions run concurrently.
Can add-ons sell without buyout?
Yes. Configure add-ons on the offering; guests add them during checkout for a private or shared slot.
