__TOC__
To show/send availability the system needs a price for the guests selection. If you have no prices for a certain date the system will show no availability. For this reason it is important to keep prices up-to-date.

The system has two types of prices:
__TOC__
*Daily Prices
*Rates
==Daily Prices==
 
Daily Prices are prices for one date. Up to four prices per date can be defined for example for different occupancies.
Daily Prices can be used:*if If you want to fine tune dynamically adjust prices on a daily basis*if you do not it is best to use Last Minute or Early Bird pricingdaily prices.

==Rates==
Rates have a start and end date so they apply to a range of dates. Rates contain many more rules about the conditions which must apply to make them available. Multiple rates can be used to create complex pricing structures. If multiple rates are available for the same dates the rules of each rate will determine which rate is offered.
Rates can be usedUse rates instead of daily prices:*to fill gaps when a minimum stay is required*if you have children prices (these do not send to channels)*for prices for extra guests or extra children*if you require the guest (these do not send to book more than one day before Check-in*if you want a price to be available only certain days in advance (e.g. Last Minute or Early Birdchannels)
*if you want to allow guest to enquire when no price can be found but the room is not fully booked
*if you have extras (upsell items) which only apply to certain roomsoffer referrer discounts*for special == Combination on Daily Prices and Rates ==It is not necessary to use both daily prices and rates but a combination of daily prices and rates can be used to fine tune pricing for channel managementstructures.
*For example Daily Prices can be used to override the price and conditions of a rate for individual dates.
*The booking rules for your rates and daily prices will determine which daily price or rate will be used.
Note: Rules in rates have no effect on daily prices.
