Before creating a listing, you need to add Categories. Categories are the foundation for keeping you organized. Categories impact you, your guides, and your available trips. So it's crucial to understand how they work.
Using Categories ensures you assign only qualified guides per listing.
For example, if you offer Rafting and Climbing, create those respective categories. If Jill is only qualified to lead Rafting trips, apply the Rafting category to her profile. This means she'll only be notified of available rafting trips.
Categories also affect availability.
If you have numerous trips on the calendar but no available guides in that category, none of those category-trips can be booked.
For example, you offer 5 Rafting day trips throughout the week. Jill is your only qualified rafting guide. She can guide 3 out of the 5 trips but is unavailable for the last 2 trips. The last 2 trips without a guide will not show on the calendar for customers.
Make sure you create categories that work for you and your team, and what you’ll remember.
