Set up package rates
A package [Room/Day] rate is used when you want to set one total price for a stay that lasts a fixed number of nights usually for special multi-night offers.
The total price is based on the check-in day.
It’s useful when pricing needs to change depending on which day of the week the guest arrives.
⚠️Important: Pricing for this rate type can't be integrated with a PMS or channel manager due to restrictions in how those system operate.
Follow the steps blow to create a package rate.
Click the Booking Engine tab.
On the left side navigation hover over Rates and Packages.
Click Browse Rates.
Click the + create rate button.
In the General tab under the price management, macro type heading select package room / day prices from the drop down menu.
Select the Restrictions tab.
Within the package rate you can add restrictions.
This means you can limit the length of stay the rate is available for, the lead-in and more.
Stay minimum and maximum length of stay: This controls how many nights a guest must stay to book the rate.
For package rates, the minimum and maximum stay must be the same. Example: If you set both to four, the guest can only book for exactly four nights, no more or less.
Lead-In minimum and maximum booking notice: This defines how far in advance a guest must book:
Minimum lead in: The minimum number of days before check-in that the guest must book. Example: Set to seven means guest must book at least seven days ahead.
Max lead in: The maximum number of days before check-in the rate is available. Example: Set to four means the rate is visible only for bookings up to fourteen days in advance.
Check in days: Choose which days of the week guests are allowed to check in for this rate.
Great for midweek specials where you don’t want check-ins on weekends.
Length of stay (LOS) pattern: Tick this to force guests to book a specific stay pattern for example always two nights or always Sunday to Tuesday.
Sell date restrictions: Use this to limit when the rate can be booked not when the guest stays. Example: For a flash sale, you can make the rate bookable only between May first and third, even if the stay is later. Leave this unticked if the rate should always be available to book.
Length of stay (LOS) discounts: Apply length of stay discounts without needing to create separate rates. Example: Stay three nights and save 10%. This is an easy way to offer deals and keep things simple in your rate setup.
