Lesson 9/10 Products Created in Inntopia Don’t Have to Have a Price…and Why

In the last installment we covered how you can create and manage products directly in Inntopia Commerce and sell them alongside products that live in other systems. But there’s something important to understand about these products:

The products you create in Inntopia Commerce don’t have to have a price.

This is a small, but important, distinction. It means that you can allow guests to reserve something or add something to an itinerary even if they don’t have to pay for it.
