== Step 2 - Set your Prices ==
===Using Daily Prices===
===Using Daily Prices===
Go to PRICES > DAILY PRICE SETUP and create a daily price for each number of guest which can book.  
Go to PRICES > DAILY PRICE RULES and create a daily price for each number of guest which can book.  
 
Example 1:
 
If a dorm can accommodate three guests and the extra person price is different, then you will need three daily prices:
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Up to 1 person.
*Daily price 2: "Price for" = Up to 2 People.
*Daily price 3: "Price for" = Up to 3 People.
 
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for each daily price/number of people.
 
 
Example 2:


Example:  
If a dorm can accommodate three guests and the extra person price is the same, then you can enter an Extra Person Price:
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Up to 1 person, Extra Person Price = 20


If a dorm can accommodate three guests you will need three daily prices:
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for the first person.
*Daily price 1: "Maximum Guests" = 1.
*Daily price 2: "Maximum Guests" = 2.
*Daily price 3: "Maximum Guests" = 3.  


Then go to the CALENDAR  or PRICES > DAILY PRICE and enter your price.


===Using Rates===
Example 3:
Go to PRICES > RATES click on ADD RATE to open the rate popup.
 
If your prices change on a regular based and your dorm can accommodate three guests and each person is charged at the same price, you will need ONE daily price:
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Per Person.
 
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for 1 person, the price for each additional person will be calculated from the 1 person price.
 
===Using Fixed Prices===
Go to PRICES > FIXED PRICES click on "Add Fixed Prices".
