== 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 Long stay discounts. Each rate has its own individual discount settings. Multiple rates can be used together to create sophisticated discount structuresdefined using the setting ''Min Nights'' in the prices.

*''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. '''NOTE:''' 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.
