Each RATE can have it's own value of minimum stay, using this will make rates unavailable for shorter stays than the minimum. Creating multiple rates each with different minimum stays is an easy way to offer different prices for different length stays. | Each RATE can have it's own value of minimum stay, using this will make rates unavailable for shorter stays than the minimum.

== Change Minimum Stay on individual dates== | |||
== Minimum Stay only on Weekends == | |||
This can be done by using two rates. One would be set for a minimum stay of one night and have the "Rate Allowed" deselected for the weekend nights. | |||
Make sure the check-in and check-out tick boxes are enabled on all days otherwise this rate will not be allowed for a booking that arrives or departs on a weekend but also includes weekdays. | |||
The second rate should have a minimum stay of 2 nights. If the price is the same or higher than the first rate you can leave this rate available on all nights. If the 2 night weekend price is lower and not allowed on weekdays you can deselect the "Rate Allowed" tick boxes for the weekdays. Again make sure the check-in and check-out tick boxes are selected for all nights so the two rates can be combined for bookings which overlap both. | |||
By creating two rates you can specify a different minimum stay based on the day of the check-in. | |||
This example shows how to make a 2 night minimum for Friday arrivals while a 1 night minimum applies to arrivals on every other day. | |||
