1 Set Discounts

Opening a rate or creating a new rate in RATES opens a popup where 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.

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.

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.

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.

Long Stay Discount

Can be defined setting Min Nights.

Referer Discounts

These disconts for bookings originating from a certain source e.g. website or link. Links or booking widgets with referers can be created under SETTINGS -> BOOKING WIDGETS

2 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.

3 Packages, Different Prices

Another way do set discounts it to sell a room at different price e.g. lower not cancellable rate or package prices. Create a rate and assign the Price Number to an exra price which you set and enabled in SETTINGS -> BOOKING PAGE -> ROOMS -> EXTRA PRICES.

4 Show Discounts on your Booking Page

You have the option to add an extra column to your booking page. To activate the colum go to SETTINGS -> BOOKING PAGE -> ADVANCED and set Show Extra Maketing Colum to Yes.

When you go to SETTINGS -> BOOKING PAGE -> ROOMS you will see a new setting MARKETING COLUMN. Her you can set the headline for your column and the content for the price row. If you are using extra prices go to EXTRA PRICES to add the values for each extra price.
