Custom WordPress Travel Package Price Calculator
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Job Title: Expert WordPress Developer for Advanced Travel Package Price Calculator Plugin
Project Description:
We need a custom WordPress plugin to create a dynamic price calculator for our travel website. The calculator must handle all-inclusive packages with complex pricing logic, including:
• Per-person rates (adults/children/infants) based on hotel, package type, and room occupancy.
• Date-sensitive pricing (weekdays/weekends, school/public holidays) with custom calendars per hotel.
• Variable child pricing policies (age-based, discounts, or independent rates).
• Hotel-specific occupancy rules (e.g., children counted as full/partial occupants or not at all).
Key Requirements:
1. Input Fields: Travel dates, travelers (adults/children ages), destination, hotel, room type, package type (honeymoon/diving/etc.).
2. Pricing Logic:
o Support two surcharge methods:
Fixed nightly surcharges (e.g., +RM80/person/night).
Separate price tables per date category (e.g., peak season rates).
o Automatically apply hotel-specific rules (e.g., Hotel A treats 2 children = 1 adult; Hotel B ignores children in occupancy).
3. Output: Clear, visual price breakdown (total per person, package inclusions, add-ons).
Technical Specifications:
• Code Ownership: We retain full rights; no unauthorized third-party/GPL code.
• Performance & Security: Optimized for speed, sanitized inputs, SQL injection prevention.
• Compatibility: Works with existing themes/plugins; fully responsive.
Challenges (Must Read!):
• Complex Pricing: Hotels have unique rules for dates, child rates, and occupancy.
• Custom Calendars: Each hotel manages its own holiday/peak dates (e.g., May 1 may be a holiday at Hotel A but not Hotel B).
• Dynamic Calculations: Real-time adjustments based on room type, package, and traveler composition.
Deliverables:
• A user-friendly admin panel to:
o Set hotel-specific calendars and pricing tables.
o Configure child policies and occupancy rules.
• Frontend calculator with AJAX-based real-time pricing.
Ideal Candidate:
• Proven experience with complex WordPress plugins (show similar work).
• Strong PHP/JS skills, especially for dynamic calculations.
• Attention to detail (this project has many edge cases).
Note: Only apply if you’ve handled similarly intricate pricing systems. We’ll test the plugin rigorously before approval.
