    How to add dumpster sizes and prices for online booking in Dumpster Controls

    The sizes and prices your customers see on the booking page come straight from your Registered Inventory. Each size carries its own pricing tiers, weight allowance, and fees.

    Before you start

    • An admin account with access to Inventory
    1. 1

      Open Registered Inventory

      In the left menu, click "Inventory". The page is titled "Registered Inventory" with the subtitle "Manage your dumpster fleet".

    2. 2

      Add a size

      Click "Add Dumpster" and pick the yard size in the wizard. You can also upload a photo of the dumpster; it is shown on the booking page card for that size.

    3. 3

      Set the rental prices

      Fill the pricing tiers: "Rent for 24 hours price:", "Rent for up to 3 days price:", "Rent for up to 7 days price:", "Rent for up to 14 days price:", and "Rent for up to 30 days price:". Each multi-day tier has a toggle, so you can turn off tiers you do not offer. Set "Additional daily charges:" for days beyond the rental period.

    4. 4

      Set weight and fees

      Configure "Initial weight included (Ton):" and "Additional charge per Ton:". Then set the fee toggles: "Fuel Surcharge (FSC)?" (added to every invoice when enabled), "Do you charge sales tax?" with a percentage, "Rescheduling fee?", and "Cancellation fee?".

    5. 5

      Allow rental extensions (optional)

      The "Customer portal" step includes "Let the customer request a rental extension?". When on, customers can request extra days from their tracking link; the request always waits for your approval, using the additional day price for that size.

    6. 6

      Register units

      Use the quantity stepper on each size row to register how many physical units you own. If a size has 0 units, the row warns that you will not be able to accept orders for that size.

    What happens next

    • Active sizes appear on the booking page automatically, sorted by yards, showing the included tonnage and the price for the selected duration.
    • A paused size ("This dumpster size is paused") is hidden from booking until reactivated.

    Troubleshooting

    My booking page shows no sizes at all.

    If a company has no active bookable sizes, visitors see the paused screen instead of the form. Check that at least one size is active in Registered Inventory.

    The price on the booking page does not match my base price.

    The card shows the price for the duration the customer selected (3, 7, 10, 14, or 30 day tiers, plus additional daily charges beyond the tier). Sales tax and the fuel surcharge are added in the Order Summary.
