Bundled walks & per-client pricing
Bundling is the one concept in Barkerway that isn't obvious from the screen alone: walking several pets together in one visit, while still billing each owner separately.
-
Create the booking as normal
From Schedule, tap Booking. Set the walk type and time — duration defaults from the walk type but is editable on this one booking.
-
Add every pet being walked together
This is what "bundled" means: add pets to the same booking even if they belong to different owners. They're walked as one visit — same time, same walker, same trip — but each owner is still invoiced separately when you bill them. A booking with two collies from the same owner looks the same on the schedule as a booking with a dog from one owner and a cat from another.
-
Check who's on it from the booking detail
Open the booking to see every pet included, grouped by owner, with a "View client" link for each. This is also where you'd cancel just this occurrence if it's a recurring booking.
-
Price one client differently, if needed
If one owner pays more or less than your Walk types default for the same service, don't edit the walk type — that changes the price for everyone. Instead set a Custom rate from that client's page in Clients. It applies automatically to every future booking of that type for that client only.
-
Billing keeps owners separate automatically
When you create a bill from Billing, each owner's unbilled services are listed under their own name — a bundle never merges into one invoice across owners, even though the pets were walked together.
