== Discounts in RATES ==
==Long Stay Discount==
Opening a rate or creating a new rate in RATES opens a popup with three tabs. When you go to the tab "Discounts" you can set different types of discounts. Each rate has its own individual discount settings. Multiple rates can be used together to create sophisticated discount structures.
Long stay discounts can be defined using the setting ''Min Nights'' in the daily prices or rates.  
 
*''Min Nights'' defines for when the discount applies.
 
*The ''Percent'' discount will be applied to the entire stay price. If more than one percentage discount are valid, only the single highest percentage value will be applied.


*The ''Per Night'' discount applies only to nights starting from the number of nights setting. For example a $10 discount set for 4 nights means nights 1 to 3 are normal price and night 4 and later are reduced by $10. Multiple per night discounts are added together so in the case of a second discount of $5 set at 7 nights means the room price is reduced by $15 ($5 + $10) from night 7 onwards.
Example: 1 night costs 120 but if a guest books 3 or more nights each nights costs 100.  


*The ''Once Off'' discount is subtracted once from the total price if the number of nights or more are booked. If you have multiple Once Off discounts they will all be subtracted if their number of nights has been met.
Daily Price or Rate 1:  
 
Set unused value or percentage discounts to zero so they will not be used.
 
The percentage and per night rates are calculated based on the length of the booking regardless of whether it spans multiple rates.
 
The once off discount number of days threshold is calculated as the number of days in the booking that that rate is available for booking.
 
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}}  </span> Discounts entered in the rates will not send to OTAs. They only apply for directe bookings from the booking page. If you are using multiple rates make the highest rate always available and sure you have is set to "Default" to allow lower prices.
 
===Long Stay Discount===
Long stay discounts can be defined using the setting ''Min Nights'' in the rate. The per night discount applies only to nights starting from the number of nights setting. For example a $10 discount set for 4 nights means nights 1 to 3 are normal price and night 4 and later are reduced by $10.
 
If you want to apply a lower price from the first night on you can do this using two rates.
 
Example 1: 1 night costs 120 but if a guest books 3 or more nights each nights costs 100.
 
Rate 1:  


"Room Price"= 120
"Room Price"= 120
Line 46: Line 25:
"Minimum Stay"=1
"Minimum Stay"=1


Rate 2:  
Daily Price or  Rate 2:  


"Room Price"= 100
"Room Price"= 100
Line 52: Line 31:
"Minimum Stay"= 3
"Minimum Stay"= 3


<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> Use the link at the bottom of the page for more examples.


Example 2: One night costs 220 but if a guest books 5-6 nights each night costs 210. From seven night each night costs 205, from 8 nights each night costs 200.  
===Last Minute or Early Bird Discount===
A last-minute-rate can be created using Max days until check-in in the daily prices or rates.


Rate:
The setting defines how many days in advance this rate is bookable. 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.


"Room Price"= 220
The Min days until check-in setting can be used to create special early bird prices that are only available shortly before the booked night. It defines how many days in advance a rate bookable beginning  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.


"Minimum Stay"=1
=== Referrer Discount ===
These discounts apply to bookings originating from a certain source e.g. website or link. To give discounts for bookings from Facebook enter the referrer code facebook.


Discounts tab:
1. Create a referrer discount in the "Discounts" tab of the rate and enter the name e.g. NameOfReferrer


5 Nights: "Per Night" = 10 "Once Off" = 40
2. Rates set for the &referer=NameOfReferrer parameter in the URL


7 Nights: "Per Night" = 5 "Once Off" = 30
Note if you use the channel manger: These discounts are not sent to the channels.


8 Nights:  "Per Night" = 5 "Once Off" = 35
== Discounts in RATES ==
Opening a rate or creating a new rate in RATES opens a popup with three tabs. When you go to the tab "Discounts" you can set different types of discounts. Each rate has its own individual discount settings. Multiple rates can be used together to create sophisticated discount structures.


If a booking overlapps two rates and the total number of nights booked fulfils the long stay the discount will be applied but only to the nights falling under the rate where the discount is set.
*''Min Nights'' defines for when the discount applies.  


*The ''Percent'' discount will be applied to the entire stay price. If more than one percentage discount are valid, only the single highest percentage value will be applied.


Example 3: One night costs 220 but if a guest books 5 nights or more the 5th night is free
*The ''Per Night'' discount applies only to nights starting from the number of nights setting. For example a $10 discount set for 4 nights means nights 1 to 3 are normal price and night 4 and later are reduced by $10. Multiple per night discounts are added together so in the case of a second discount of $5 set at 7 nights means the room price is reduced by $15 ($5 + $10) from night 7 onwards.


Rate:
*The ''Once Off'' discount is subtracted once from the total price if the number of nights or more are booked. If you have multiple Once Off discounts they will all be subtracted if their number of nights has been met.
