Let's clarify this concept that often makes our customers feel confused:
👉 What's a Rate (rate plan)?
it is the price decided on the basis of specific characteristics of a room type.
In fact, you can have different rate plans related to a single room type: that is to say derived rates, based on a standard rate, according to specific criteria (Derivation Rules).
Let's have a look at this example👇
For this typology - Double we have 4 rates (in order)
- the first one is the basic rate, the STANDARD
- the SINGLE USE rate of the Double Room
- the single use NON REFUNDABLE
- the double standard NON REFUNDABLE
For this typology - Triple we have 2 rates (in order)
- the first one is the basic rate, the STANDARD
- the triple standard NON REFUNDABLE
We therefore have 6 rate plans, in total.
However, real rooms are only 3, divided in two typologies.
❗In order to close a rate to sell:
🔻 Activate the Stop Sales on the rate in question!
In order to do so, the Stop Sale box must be unticked, when
setting up the Derivation Rules.
