== Summary ==
1. Select the room the rate applies to
2. You can set:
*'''Name ''' - for your rate (this will not display on your booking page)
*the '''room ''' the rate applies to
*'''Room Price for ''' - This rate will be offered for the room up to the number of people you specify or the maximum occupancy you have specified in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS -> SETUP.
*'''Room Price ''' - The room rate will only be offered if the box is checked. You do not need to offer a room rate, you can offer one or more of single, double or room rates. The system will identify the appropriate rate based on the number of guests staying.
If you have limited the number of people the room price is valid for, extra guests will be charged the '''Extra Person ''' or '''Extra Child ''' price as applicable. The extra child price (if allowed) will be calculated first for any excess children and then the extra person price will be applied to the remaining excess guests.
If you also have single or double rates the system will identify the cheapest applicable rate and offer that.
*'''Single Price ''' - his rate will be offered for single occupancy, i.e. one person staying. The rate will only be offered if the box is checked. You do not need to offer a single rate, you can offer one or more of single, double or room rates. The system will identify the appropriate rate based on the number of guests staying.
*'''Double Price ''' - This rate will be offered for double occupancy, i.e. two people staying. If you do not define a single rate, this will also be offered for single occupancy.
The rate will only be offered if the box is checked. You do not need to offer a double rate, you can offer one or more of single, double or room rates. The system will identify the appropriate rate based on the number of guests staying.
*'''Extra Person ''' - This price will be added per extra person to single or double rates when more people are staying.
For example if you allow 3 people to stay, the rate will be the double rate plus the extra person rate. If you only have a single rate and no double, the price for 3 people will be the single rate plus two extra person rates. If you also have a room price the system will determine the cheapest combination and offer that.
The rate will only be offered if the box is checked.
*'''Extra Child ''' - This price functions as per the Extra Person Rate but only applies to children. The rate will only be offered if the box is checked.
*'''First Night ''' the rate is valid
*'''Last Night ''' the rate is valid
'''*Strategy ''' - Set whether you allow the rate to be undercut with a lower rate ("Allow Lower Prices) or not ("Do Not Allow Lower Prices").
*'''Price Number Numbe'''r - Optional field which applies if you are using EXTRA PRICES (SETTINGS -> BOOKING PAGE -> ROOMS -> EXTRA PRICES ) to offer multiple prices (e.g. standard rate/non refundable rate, packages). Select which price row this rate should apply to. If you are not using multiple prices set this to 1.
*'''Minimum Stay ''' - this sets the minimum number of nights that must be stayed for this rate to apply.
For example: if you do not want to accept one night stays, set all your rates to a minimum stay of 2 or more.
This field can also be used to to set a cheaper rate for longer stays. Create a second rate with this field set to the required stay period and your cheaper prices and it will be offered when the guest books to stay this period or longer.
*'''Min Period days until check-in ''' - This rate is bookable beginning this many days 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. This setting can be used to create special late or last minute prices that are only available shortly before the booked night.
*'''Max period days until check-in ''' - This rate is bookable up to this many days in advance. 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.
*A last-minute-rate can be created using ''Max period days until check-in''
*'''Booking Type ''' - you can define different booking styles for different periods or booking conditions.For example: you could define two rates, one with a 1 night minimum stay as an ON REQUEST style "Request only" and the second as a 2 night minimum as AUTOMATIC "Automatic" booking allowed.
*Overnight Stay Fart Allowed - Here you can set which nights of the week this rate applies. If it applies to all nights make sure all check boxes are ticked.
For example : if you wish to define a weekend special rate you could deselect Monday to Thursday and this rate will then only be available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. If you deselect certain nights they will show as not available unless you have another rate set that includes those nights. This rate will only be offered if all dates of the stay fall on checked days.
*'''Check-in Allowed ''' - This sets which night of the week a booking must start on. If you allow bookings to start on any night make sure all check boxes are checked. f for example you rent by the week and a rental must run Saturday to Saturday you could deselect all nights except Saturday.
This rate will only be offered if the arrival day is on a checked day.
*'''Check-out Allowed ''' - This sets the days that a booking may end on (vacate day). This functions in a similar manner to the start allowed night but for the vacate day. If you allow departures on any day of the week please make sure all check boxes are checked. This rate will only be offered when the vacate day falls on a checked day.
