RoomBoss supports daily pricing of accommodation bookings as an option on the vendor.
When daily pricing is disabled for a vendor, each room booked has a single sell price. It is easy to quickly manually adjust the price of a booking but, not possible to see night by night breakdown of the sell price.
When daily pricing is enabled for a vendor, each night of a room booking will have an individual sell price. Manually changing the price of a booking may require changing multiple daily prices.
To Enable Daily Pricing
Navigate → Product Setup → Product Details choose the appropriate vendor and select the Policy tab.
Uncheck the “Disable Daily prices for booking elements” and click save at the bottom of the page.
It is now possible to set a sell price for each night for every booking element (room) for all bookings. For existing bookings the existing price will be maintained (daily prices will not be automatically added). If the booking is edited, daily prices will need to be manually set in order to save the booking.
Making a Booking With Daily Prices
If daily pricing is turned on for a vendor, individual nightly rates will be stored on bookings when they are made. However it is possible to edit the daily prices while making the booking.
At the Room Rate stage click Edit Daily Prices, make changes to the existing prices and click Save. The booking’s sell price will take account of your changes.
When editing daily prices, each daily price can be changed individually or you can apply an adjustment across all the daily prices using the % or Target Sell Price at the top:
- Editing the % and clicking apply will adjust each daily rate accordingly. eg entering 90% will reduce each rate by 10%
- Editing the Target Sell Price will adjust each daily rate so that the sum of the daily rates matches the target and the relative size of daily rates remains the same. eg in the above screen shot changing the target sell price to 200,000 would change 28,000 to 21,212, 35,000 to 26,515 and 20,000 to 15,152. Daily rates would sum to 200,000.
Editing Daily Prices On An Existing Booking
On the Edit a Booking screen, to change daily pricing click Edit on the Stay Details area and click Edit Daily Prices, make changes to the existing prices and click Save. The booking’s sell price will take account of your changes.
