Summary
This article explains how to configure pricing on the ZenMaid Booking Form, including sliders, extras, base price, minimum booking price, recurring cleaning discounts, and sales tax settings.
Important
Linear Scaling Only: Slider prices always increase by a fixed increment per step.
The Booking Form does not support dropdown options.
Minimum Booking Price Behavior: Once saved, it automatically overrides any total below that amount.
Extras are flat-fee items (no percentages or formulas). However, you can use them creatively to simulate pricing ranges.
Example
“0–1000 sq ft” = $150
“1001–2000 sq ft” = $200
“2001–3000 sq ft” = $250
Save in Batches: Always save after adding or adjusting extras in case of data loss.
Accessing The Form
You can update the Booking Form pricing by going to Bookings > My Booking Form.
From there, identify which booking form you'd like to update and click on Edit Form.
Adding Any Element
To add an element to your Booking Form, just click, hold, and drag it into place on the Booking Form.
Configuring Your Main Pricing Settings
Sliders
In the Form tab, locate sliders for Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Square Footage, and Man-Hours.
Add or remove the sliders that apply to your pricing structure.
Click the arrow next to each slider to open pricing options.
Enter rates for each slider. Values scale linearly only.
Pricing is calculated directly from these slider rates plus any optional base or extras.
Understanding Booking Form Price Scaling
ZenMaid booking forms scale the prices evenly from bedroom to bedroom, and the same is true for the bathroom sliders. For example, each bedroom is $25, and each bathroom is $35 + a base price. If your price list does not evenly scale, you would need to change your pricing to match the booking form specs. Alternatively, use the booking form to collect as much customer information as possible, then call/email them to provide the price. In high-competition cities, not showing prices may work in your favor since sometimes showing prices without the customer understanding the excellent service you provide may scare them from submitting their information. If you want the ZenMaid form with no pricing showing installed on your website, please contact the support team for the next steps.
More about Service Extras below.
Service Extras
Add two extras at a time and their pricing. Save between each set by using the Save Booking Form button located at the bottom of the page.
Setting up recurring cleaning discounts
Drag the recurrence option onto the form.
Edit the wording and add your desired discounts.
Configuring Your Optional Pricing Settings
The Pricing tab controls how pricing appears on your booking form. Here are the options:
1. Show Pricing on Form:
Choose whether customers see estimated prices as they adjust the form.
2. Base Price:
A fixed amount is automatically added to every estimate.
3. Minimum Booking Price:
Establishes the lowest allowable total for any booking once set.
Pricing-Related Settings
Configuring sales tax
Tax is automatically applied in the Booking Form when tax is set to apply to appointments by default in Job Estimations.
To prevent tax from appearing, set No Tax as the default in Job Estimations.
Showing the Price in Your Booking Confirmation Email
Even if you've turned off "Show Pricing on Form" so customers don't see a running estimate while filling out the form, you can still let them know their price afterward through the automated Booking Confirmation email.
Turning on the confirmation email:
Open the booking form you want to edit and go to the Confirmation tab.
Check Send a booking confirmation email to customers.
Click the Settings link next to that option (or go to Settings > Communication Templates > Email > Booking Confirmation) to edit the subject and body of the email itself.
To add the price to the email, insert either of these variables anywhere in the Booking Confirmation email template:
{{booking.price}}— the customer's total price{{booking.estimate}}— the same value, worded as an estimate
Side Note
{{booking.price}}and{{booking.estimate}}display the same number — use whichever wording reads best in your email. The price is calculated and saved with every booking as soon as it's submitted, whether or not "Show Pricing on Form" is turned on. This means these two variables will still populate correctly in the confirmation email even for booking forms that don't show pricing live on the form itself. The confirmation email only sends if "Send a booking confirmation email to customers" is checked for that specific booking form, and only if the customer entered an email address. A matching Booking Confirmation SMS template is also available, with its own toggle and settings link on the same Confirmation tab.
