Beds24.com lets you set almost unlimited rate and discount combinations. In the section RATES you can see your rates in a table or calendar view.

Availability is calculated for each room based on bookings already in the system and rates that that have been set. If you have no rates for a certain date the system will show no availability. For this reason it is important to keep the bookings and rates up-to-date.

1 Set a simple rate structure

Go th DASHBOARD -> ROOM GRID and activate DAILY PRICES. You can set your room prices here. Click in the DAILY PRICE row and set price and date range and click SAVE. You may modify individual dates as required.

Override Dates: Each date can be set to BLACKOUT in which case it is not available on that date or EXCEPTION in which case it uses the same booking strategy as the properties exceptional period. If no override is set (- - - - -) the booking strategy is as defined for the property.

To remove a price set it to 0 (numeral zero)

The price offered to the guest will be the lowest from your Daily Prices and your Rates which match the requested stay period.

2 Set a refined rates and discount structure

To set a definded stucture go to RATES. Multiple rates and discounts may be defined for each room. When multiple rates exist for a given date the system default will calculate and offer the lowest price that matches your criteria. You can override this in the rates settings.

When creating multiple rates you would generally set your highest price to always be available and create discounted price rates for longer stays, specific days of the week or date ranges as you require. This way you can create sophisticated rate models.

Adding Rates and Discounts: To add a new rate click on the button Add Rate

Changing Rates and Discounts: Click on the rate you want to change and enter your changes. You can delete rate setting and add new ones. You may re-use old rates that are still in the system by changing their start and end dates.

Discount Codes: If you use discount codes or phrases you may define them under PROPERTIES -> DISCOUNT CODES. If a guest enters the code at the time of booking the specified discount will be applied to their booking. Typical uses of discount codes or discount vouchers may be for purposes such as offering certain customers loyalty discounts or running a marketing campaign with bonus discounts for people in-the-know. Codes apply to each property. You can define phrases that discount the room price only, extra items only or everything being booked.
