Event Temple allows you to charge guests for amenities or services such as Wi-Fi, parking, Eco Fund contributions, or facility access. You can customize both the name of the fee and how it is applied, depending on whether it’s percentage-based or a fixed dollar amount.
Percentage-Based Fees (Taxes & Fees)
If your fee is a percentage of the room rate (e.g., 5%), you can set it up in Taxes & Fees so it applies automatically to bookings.
Steps to Set Up:
Go to Settings → Organization → Taxes & Fees
Click + New Tax or Fee
Type: Fee
Name: Enter any guest-facing label (e.g., Resort Fee, Destination Fee, Eco Fund Fee)
Rate: Enter the percentage (e.g., 5%)
Applies To: Select the relevant categories (e.g., Guestroom, Room Rental)
Click Save
Percentage-based fees calculate before taxes and are included in the taxable sale price unless marked fee-exempt. They appear as separate line items on invoices.
Fixed Dollar Fees (Menu Items)
If your fee is a fixed amount (e.g., $25 per stay or $2.50 Eco Fund), it cannot be added under Taxes & Fees. Instead, it should be created as a menu item:
Steps to Set Up:
Go to Settings → Menus
Click + New Menu Item
Name: Enter the guest-facing label (e.g., Resort Fee, Amenity Fee, Eco Fund)
Price: Enter the fixed amount (e.g., $25)
Revenue Category: Assign to Fees
Add the menu item to bookings manually as needed
Fixed fees appear as separate line items on invoices and contracts. They are not included in percentage-based subtotal merge fields.
