Automatic time-based pricing rules (day-of / last-minute price increases)

Problem
Merchants running events with tiered pricing based on when a customer books currently have no way to automate this. A customer running tournaments wants advance registrations at $30 and day-of registrations at $35. Today, the only way to do this is through manual intervention.

Current workarounds (both poor)

  • Manually change the event price as the date approaches — doesn't scale across many events.

  • Set the minimum booking period so day-of online booking is blocked, then collect the $5 difference at point of sale. This creates manual work at the counter and turns customers away if inventory (bookable spaces) is unavailable.

Requested behavior
Rules-based pricing that adjusts automatically relative to the event start time. For example:

  • More than X days before start → base price

  • Within X hours/days of start → +$Y or +Z%

  • Day-of bookings → surcharge

Ideally configurable per experience, with support for both fixed-amount and percentage adjustments, and multiple tiers.

Impact
Enables last-minute/urgency pricing and early-bird discounts without staff intervention and lets merchants keep day-of inventory bookable online instead of forcing walk-ins.
