AmpUp's new Group Pricing feature gives site hosts a single, flexible way to manage pricing and access across one or many locations. Access Groups have been renamed Pricing Groups, and pricing management now has its own dedicated home on the Locations page — so you're no longer setting things up one location at a time.
Whether you manage a single lot or a portfolio of properties, Group Pricing makes it easier to keep rates consistent and roll out pricing changes to driver groups without repeating the same setup at every location.
Why This Feature Matters
Site hosts often ask:
- "I manage several properties — do I really have to set up pricing at each one separately?"
- "How do I make sure only residents (not the public) can use our chargers for free?"
- "Is there one place I can go to see all my locations' pricing at once?"
Group Pricing solves these by letting you:
- Apply one pricing setup to multiple locations at once, instead of repeating the same configuration site by site.
- Manage all of your pricing groups from a single, dedicated tab, rather than digging into each location individually.
- Control exactly who a rate applies to — everyone (public) or only approved drivers (private).
Access Groups Are Now Pricing Groups
What used to be called an Access Group is now a Pricing Group. The rename reflects what these groups actually do: bundle together a rate, an access rule, and the location(s) it applies to, all in one place. If you had Access Groups set up before, they're still there — just under their new name — and nothing about your existing rates or drivers has changed.
A pricing group is set up as one of two types:
Public: Applies automatically to any driver who charges at the location(s) it's assigned to. Each location can only have one active public pricing group at a time.
Private: Applies only to drivers who've been added to the group — either manually or by entering an access code. Use private groups for residents, employees, members, or any driver population you want to price differently from the general public.
Creating a New Pricing Group
- In your Community Manager portal, go to Locations.
- Click Pricing Groups under Actions.
- Click Add Pricing Group.
- Enter a Pricing Group Name (drivers can look up access to pricing groups under Access Passes in their app)
- If you chose Private, optionally add an access code drivers can enter to join the group, or add specific drivers directly.
- Choose a Price Type: Public or Private by using the toggle.
- Set your pricing rate that will be charged to drivers.
- Select the location(s) this group should apply to under Shared Locations. You can assign a group to one location or several at once.
- Use Apply for new locations created toggle if all future locations will use this pricing as default.
- Click Save.
A Few Guardrails to Know
- Only one public group per location. If you assign a new public pricing group to a location that already has one, you'll see a warning that the new group will replace the existing one. Confirm to proceed.
- Drivers can't belong to two private groups in the same location. If you add a driver who's already in another private group there, you'll be asked to confirm moving them to the new group.
- Bulk changes ask for confirmation. When you apply a group to multiple locations at once, you'll get a summary prompt before the change is applied — since it affects everyone charging at those locations.
Setting a Default Pricing Group for New Locations
If you regularly add new locations to your account, you can mark a pricing group as the default for new locations. Use the Apply for new locations created toggle for that. Once a group is set as default, any location you add to your account going forward automatically has that pricing group applied — no need to manually set up pricing every time you bring a new site online.
This is especially useful if you run the same rate structure across a portfolio of similar properties and want new locations to be priced and accessible from day one.
Managing Pricing in One Place: The Multi-Location Updates Tab
If you manage three or more locations, the Locations page includes a dedicated Multi-Location Updates tab. This gives you a single view of every pricing group across all of your locations, so you can:
- See at a glance which pricing group is applied to which location(s).
- Assign an existing pricing group to additional locations without opening each one individually.
- Make a rate change once and push it out to every location that shares the group.
Each pricing group also has a Shared Locations section showing every location it's currently applied to, so you always know the full reach of a change before you make it.
What Happens to My Existing Access Groups?
If you already had Public or Private access groups set up, they've been automatically migrated into the new Group Pricing system under their new name — your existing rates and registered drivers carry over, so there's nothing you need to redo. You'll now manage and update them as pricing groups going forward.
