A clearer, faster public checkout
Itemized pricing, a deposit-or-full toggle, timezone-correct times, and a contact-first flow that still shows the price up front.
We went through the public checkout end to end and sharpened the moments where guests hesitate. Pricing is now itemized — base price, add-ons, and a single combined taxes-and-fees line — so guests see exactly what makes up the total instead of one opaque number. When a product takes a deposit, a deposit-or-full toggle lets the guest choose how much to pay now, with the balance due date shown alongside it.
Booking summary times now render in the location’s own timezone, so a 4:00 PM departure reads as 4:00 PM regardless of where the guest is browsing. The flow leads with date, selection, and price before it asks for contact details — the guest can see what they’re buying and hit Continue without filling in a form first, while their contact and selection detail are still captured as a hot lead. Product photos are delivered responsively for sharper images and more reliable loading, and the booking page itself now recovers gracefully from slow or flaky network conditions.
