Note<div class="warning">{{#fas: exclamation-triangle}} The gap filler does not work if you use "Do not allow lower prices or shorter stays" as strategy. Also make sure the minimum stay in the SETTINGS->ROOMS->SETUP is the same or lower as in the gap filler and you do not have manually entered higher minimum stays in the calendar.</div>

This page explains how to fill gaps resulting from minimum stay rules.
__TOC__
=Functionality=
If you have minimum stays you can use an additional "gap filler" rate to close gaps. A minimum stay and a maximum stay will narrow the gap. Bookings are only possible for the number of days defined by the min and max stay and only if there is a booking gap. If you have a room type with several units, this is only the case if only one is free which has a gap and all the others are occupied.
To use a rate a "Gap Fill" set "Restriction Strategy" = "Gap Fill ("Summary tab of your RATE)
==Set up==== Example1: Two night minimum stay but allow selling single nights if the night before and the night after is booked ==
A typical situation for a two night minimum stay strategy is to end up with with single nights that cannot be sold because the night before and the night after is booked.
*set maximum stay to 2
== Example 23: Other rates set a seven night minimum stay but allow selling three to six nights if there is a six night gap ==
*set minimum stay to 3
*set maximum stay to 6
