- For accounts with more than 50 properties for performance reasons the system will only check if any rooms are available (not closed) for the selected dates. If there are no prices for the selection you will see 'Check Availability' box
- Prices do not include Obligatory Upsell Items, this is why the price has 'Price from'.
- If you need to show the properties in the same order after each search, then ensure each property has a different Sell Priority.
