A combination of daily use dynamic prices and rates can be used for more complex pricing structures.
*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 setting in the rate by changing "'''Strategy'''" to "Do not allow lower prices or shorter stays"
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.
The ''PRICE CHECKER TOOL'' in '''RATES''' lets you see which rate applies to a certain booking situation.
A popup with five several tabs "Summary" "Rooms" "Discounts" "Upsell" and "Channels" opens.
