=Examples=
*Minimum stay = 2 nights.
'''Solution 2 multiple ratesFixed Prices:'''
Rate Fixed Price 1:
*Minimum stay = 1 night
Rate Fixed Price 2:
*Minimum stay = 2 nights.
Go to the date you want to change the minimum stay for. Click in the field "Min Stay". In the pop up tick the weekend days and set the date range.
'''Solution 2 multiple ratesFixed Prices:'''
By creating two rates Fixed Prices you can specify a different minimum stay based on the day of the check-in.
This example shows how to make a 2 night minimum for Friday arrivals while a 1 night minimum applies to arrivals on every other day.
Rate Fixed Price 1:
*Minimum stay = 1 night
*Rate Allowed = deselected for the Friday.Make sure the check-in and check-out tick boxes are enabled on all days otherwise this rate rprice will not be allowed for a booking that arrives or departs on a weekend but also includes weekdays.
Rate Fixed Price 2:
*Minimum stay = 2 nights.
*If the price is the same or higher than the first rate Fixed Price you can leave this rate Fixed Price available on all nights. If the 2 night weekend price is lower and not allowed on weekdays you can deselect the "Rate Allowed" tick boxes for the weekdays.
Again make sure the check-in and check-out tick boxes are selected for all nights so the two rates Fixed Prices can be combined for bookings which overlap both.
