Creating rates

Rate is the basis to which prices and rooms for sale will then be attached. In the rate you specify the basic conditions that will subsequently form the final price and room availability for guests. Please pay particular attention to the creation of the rate, as it will determine all your future sales.

To create a rate, you need to enter the Prices and Offers / Booking Rates section in the main menu on the left. Initially, you only have a Basic Rate without any settings. You can edit it to your needs or create your own rate. This can be done by clicking on the + Add button in the bottom of the screen.

In order to create a tariff, you need to fill in information in 3 blocks on the opened window. We kindly remind you that the fields marked with * are required.

Name - set the name of your rate (for example, Main, Summer, etc.)

Short name - this name will be visible to the hotel staff only.

Description - a description of your tariff, available for viewing by users.

Terms and conditions

Terms and conditions have a purpose to avoid unwanted booking. If, for example, you have a busy time in a certain period of time (in summer or during holidays), then it may not be profitable for you to allow 2-3 day bookings or booking for one person. By setting conditions and restrictions, you can limit the booking in certain cases.

Starting date - from what day the rate will be active.

End date - up to what date the rate will apply.

Condition - select the desired condition from the drop-down list and in the Quantity field specify a variable.

Additional condition - select the desired additional condition from the drop-down list and in the Quantity field specify a variable.

Minimum payment - prepayment, which the client must make to book a room in percents.
