Novelle

Pricing

Clear package prices, without paid ranking.

At launch, verified packages show a frozen customer total before contract acceptance. Fresh calendar inventory can be held instantly; custom or uncertain supply moves into a clearly labelled quote flow.

Verified package total

The checkout review freezes the approved scope, inclusions, exclusions, customer price, tax treatment, supplier terms, date, guest count, and payment schedule before acceptance.

  • Integer minor-unit pricing
  • Versioned package scope
  • No browser-controlled totals

Instant booking where availability is fresh

Verified, published packages with a current calendar source can enter the instant-booking path. Stale, failed, unknown, or non-instant availability never receives the same claim.

  • Live-calendar freshness
  • Atomic date hold
  • Database conflict protection

Invoice-based payment

After contract acceptance, Novelle emails the customer payment invoice. The dates remain held only until the persisted deadline, normally 48 hours, and booking confirmation follows correctly reconciled cleared funds.

  • Bank transfer, not card checkout
  • Exact payment reference
  • Safe review for payment mismatches

Quote fallback

When instant availability cannot be confirmed, couples can request a versioned supplier quote with a clear expiry. An accepted, still-valid quote joins the same contract, hold, invoice, and booking workspace.

  • Versioned quotes
  • Expiry enforced
  • No instant-booking disguise

Transparent supplier economics

Novelle does not sell undisclosed ranking. Category margin rules and supplier settlement terms are versioned, accepted before performance, and kept separate from the customer package price and tax calculation.

  • No undisclosed paid ranking
  • Frozen supplier settlement
  • Maker-checker payout controls

What is not included

Novelle does not promise the cheapest market price, global real-time coverage, or instant booking for every supplier. Availability freshness and the applicable booking path remain visible.

  • No broad price-parity promise
  • No fabricated inventory
  • No fake urgency
