A new option to collect the value of the first nights stay has been added to the deposit percentage selector on the Booking Rules settings page.
This option will request a payment for the first night based on a 1 night stay with the selected number of guests as a deposit.
Long stay discounts and extra items will not be included in the calculation of the deposit

I understand that it does not work with long term discouted rates but what about a standard rate for say three nights, will it still take a the first night as a deposit?

The other question is different room prices, can it charge the right rate for the right room if say you have four rooms in a B&B and each has a different price? If it can what do you put in the 'amount' box or do you keep it empty and your system puts the correct amount in?

For a standard stay of three nights it will collect the value of one night.

It will collect the value automatically based on the room and rate that applies for the period booked.
