=General=

To show/send availability the system needs a price for the guests selection. If you have no prices for a certain date the system will show no availability. For this reason it is important to keep prices up-to-date.

<span class="" style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> <span style="font-weight: bold;" >Tip</span> The [https://beds24.com/wizard/wizard3.php price wizard] will guide you through the price set up.

The system has two types of prices:

*Daily Prices

*~~Rates~~

*Fixed Prices

Which type you use depends on your pricing structure:

==Daily Prices==

Daily Prices are prices for one date. Up to ~~four~~ prices ~~per date~~ can be ~~defined~~ for ~~example~~ for ~~different occupancies~~.

Daily Prices are prices for one date which are entered in the Calendar. You can have a set of daily prices with different rules.

*Daily prices flexible and easy to handle.

*If you want to dynamically adjust prices on a daily basis it is best to use daily prices.

*Extra Person prices can be sent to the channels that accept occupancy pricing.

This [https://beds24.com/wizard/wizard3.php setup wizard] guides you though the setup. Please find more information on the help page for [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Category:Daily_Prices daily prices].

==Fixed Prices==

Fixed Prices have a start and end date so they apply to a range of dates. If multiple Fixed Prices are available for the same dates the rules of each Fixed Price will determine which Fixed Price is offered.

Daily Prices ~~can be used~~:

Use Fixed Prices instead of Daily Prices:

*if you want to ~~fine tune prices on a daily basis~~

*If your prices are fixed ahead and you do not want to adjust them and you have none or few seasons

*if you do not ~~use Last Minute or Early Bird pricing~~

*If you want to allow guest to enquire when no price can be found but the room is not fully booked

*If you want to grant referrer discounts

~~If you have more complex restrictions you need~~ to ~~use rates~~.

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Extra Person Prices can NOT be sent to the Channels.

~~==Rates==~~

Please find more information on the help page for [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Category:Fixed_Prices Prices Fixed Prices].

~~Rates have a start and end date so they apply to a range of dates~~. ~~Rates contain many rules about the conditions which must apply to make them available~~. ~~Multiple rates can be used to create complex pricing structures~~. ~~If multiple rates are available for the same dates the rules of each rate will determine which rate is offered~~.

~~Rates can be used:~~

== Combination on Daily Prices and Fixed Prices ==

*for prices for extra guests or extra children

It is not necessary to use both Daily Prices and Fixed Prices but a combination of Daily Prices and Fixed Prices can be used to fine tune pricing structures.

*if you require the guest to ~~book more than one day before Check-in~~

*if you want a ~~price to be available only certain days in advance (e.g. Last Minute or Early Bird)~~

*if you want to allow guest to enquire when no price can be ~~found but the room is not fully booked~~

*if you have extras (upsell items) which only apply to ~~certain rooms~~

*for special pricing ~~for channel management~~

~~== Combination on~~ Daily Prices ~~and Rates ==~~

*You can use Daily Prices to override the a Fixed Prices for a few individual dates. If you you often adjust prices use Daily Prices only.

~~It is not necessary~~ to use ~~both daily prices and rates but~~ a ~~combination of~~ daily prices ~~and rates can be used to fine tune pricing structures.~~

*You can add a Gap Filler fill gaps when using daily prices with minimum stays is required

*For example Daily Prices ~~can be used to override the price and conditions of a rate for individual dates.~~

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Rules in Fixed Prices have no effect on Daily Prices.

*The booking rules for your rates and daily prices will determine which daily price or rate will be used.
