PCR Educator now lets schools group discounts and tell the system that only one discount in the group may apply to a purchase. Tiered pricing such as one-week, two-week, three-week, and four-week rates can be entered at face value, in one place, and the highest tier a family qualifies for is the one they receive. Percentage scholarships and sibling discounts outside the group continue to stack on top.

What's new

Product Groups. A new setup page under Finance > Products holds named groups of products. Each group has a behavior. The first behavior, Exclusive, applies only the first qualifying discount in the group and skips the rest.

Order decides the winner. Discounts in a group are ranked by an order you set on the group's Products tab. Put the four-week rate first, the three-week rate second, and so on. A family registering for three weeks receives the three-week discount and nothing lower.

Groups compose with everything else. A discount outside the group, such as a percentage scholarship tied to a student attribute or a per-family sibling discount, stacks on the group's winner exactly as it does today.

Membership from the Products list. Select products, choose the Multi Action "Add Products to Product Group," and pick the group. Each discount's Discount tab shows which groups it belongs to.

Built for more than tiers. Early-bird and regular pricing with different expiration dates can share a group ordered early-bird first, so the better rate wins while it is open and the standard rate takes over afterward.

Why it matters

Summer programs, intensives, and camps price by the week, and families often qualify for several rates at once. With Product Groups the business office enters each rate as a true amount, keeps scholarships stackable, and lets the system choose the single correct tier for every cart. Setup reads the way the price sheet reads.

A few ways to talk about it

• Enter tier prices at face value. One group, one winner, no arithmetic on the back of an envelope.
• Scholarships and sibling discounts still stack on top. Only the tiers compete.
• Order the group the way the price sheet reads, and registration follows it.

Available now to all PCR Educator schools. Your account team can walk you through setting up a tiered discount group whenever you're ready.
