Do not allow lower prices but allow shorter stays
Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2020 8:57 pm
Hello,
I have 10+ studios. I have the same « rack rate » for all, with a minimum stay of two nights.
I wanted to add a rate with higher prices for a specific range of dates (vacations in France). I prefer a rate over daily prices because in my calendar view I see immediately that this rate is for the vacations, it is clearer.
However, I am forced to check the strategy « do not allow lower prices or shorter stays », otherwise the rate will be the rack rate (I think the system should always aim for the highest price but whatever).
Now, if I would like to allow a minimum stay of only one night at specific dates during the vacations, it is impossible because of the « do not allow lower prices or shorter stays ».
How do you handle this type of situation (using specific rates aiming at higher rates than the rack rate, while also cherry picking dates with smaller stay length) ?
I have the impression that using rates does not work for that purpose. Too bad, because daily prices are not very clear in the calendar view, I would like to at least have the possibility to add a label « vacations X » visible on the calendar for each listing at desired dates.
Thank you
