Fixed prices have a start and end date so they apply to a range of dates. Fixed Prices contain many rules about the conditions which must apply to make them available.  
  
Availability is calculated for each room based on bookings already in the system and rates that that have been set. If you have no rates for a certain date the system will show no availability. For this reason it is important to keep the bookings and rates up-to-date.

1. Select the room the rate applies to
+
*'''Room Price''' -  The room price will only be offered if the box is checked. You do not need to offer a room price you can offer one or more of single, double or room prices. The system will identify the appropriate price  based on the number of guests staying.

*'''Room Price for''' - This price will be offered for the room up to the number of people you specify or the maximum occupancy you have specified in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS -> SETUP.

*First Night the rate is valid
 
*Last Night the rate is valid
 
*Rate Type - you can define different booking styles for different periods or booking conditions.
 
For example: you could define two rates, one with a 1 night minimum stay as an ON REQUEST style and the second as a 2 night minimum as AUTOMATIC booking allowed.
 
*Minimum Stay - this sets the minimum number of nights that must be stayed for this rate to apply.
 
For example: if you do not want to accept one night stays, set all your rates to a minimum stay of 2 or more.
 
  
This field can also be used to to set a cheaper rate for longer stays. Create a second rate with this field set to the required stay period and your cheaper prices and it will be offered when the guest books to stay this period or longer.

If you have limited the number of people the room price is valid for, extra guests will be charged the '''Extra Person''' or '''Extra Child''' price as applicable. The extra child price (if allowed) will be calculated first for any excess children and then the extra person price will be applied to the remaining excess guests.
  
*Min Days in Advance - This rate is bookable beginning this many days in advance. For example a setting of 365 will allow this rate to be booked up to a year in advance. A setting of 7 means this rate is only available one week before the first night of the booking.

+
If you also have single or double prices the system will identify the cheapest applicable price and offer that.
  
*Max Days in Advance - This rate is bookable up to this many days in advance. For example a setting of 0 will allow this rate to be booked for a stay tonight. A setting of 3 means this rate is only available at least 3 days before the first night of the booking.

If you only have a single price and no double, the price for 3 people will be the single price plus two extra person prices. If you also have a room price the system will determine the cheapest combination and offer that.
  
For example if you wish to define a weekend special rate you could deselect Monday to Thursday and this rate will then only be available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. If you deselect certain nights they will show as not available unless you have another rate set that includes those nights. This rate will only be offered if all dates of the stay fall on checked days.

Fixed Prices
This page is about the menu PRICES > FIXED PRICES

1 Summary

Fixed prices have a start and end date so they apply to a range of dates. Fixed Prices contain many rules about the conditions which must apply to make them available.

Daily Prices are easier to manage if you have seasonal prices, many price options or want to use dynamic prices.

Tip: Click on "Price Check" at to the top to see which prices and rules apply for specific dates/selections and why a certain price or rule was applied or not applied.

2 Functionality

  • When multiple Fixed Prices exist for a given date the system default will calculate and offer the lowest price that matches your criteria.
  • You can override this setting in the Fixed Pricesby changing "Strategy" to "Do not allow lower prices or shorter stays"

When creating multiple Fixed Prices , you would generally set your highest price to always be available and create discounted price prices for longer stays, specific days of the week or date ranges as you require. This way you can create sophisticated price models.

The PRICE CHECKER lets you see which price applies to a certain booking situation.

3 Create a Fixed Price

Go to PRICES > FIXED PRICES and lick on the button Add Fixed Price (there is a limit of 100 Fixed Prices per room type, if you need more than this, daily prices may be a better way to define your prices)
