Step 5: Price and availability

LOS pricing model

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/LOSS

Sales Channel does not synchronise this information. However, Sales Channel performs a quote request to Rentals United during the booking process to obtain all pricing and availability information. Therefore, it is ensured that your prices and availability are synchronised with the channel.

FSP pricing model

Daily price model

Daily price

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Price

Daily price is the standard way of setting prices. It indicates the base price per night for the Standard number of guests.

Standard number of guests

Pull_ListSpecProp_RS/Property/StandardGuests

Standard number of guests refers to the maximum number of guests included in the Daily price for whom the price does not change. If more guests than specified book a stay, the extra guests will be charged with the price set in the Extra guest price element.

Example: If the Daily price includes 3 standard guests, the price stays the same in the case when either one, two or three guests book a stay.

Extra guest price

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Extra

Extra guest price is the price for guests that are not included in the Standard number of guests. In other words, if the overall number of guests exceeds the Standard number of guests, Extra guest price is applied for each guest above the specified standard.

Example: If the Daily price includes 3 standard guests and 5 guests book a stay, then Daily price is applied for 3 guests, but the 4th and 5th guest need to pay the Extra guest price.

Minimum stay

Pull_ListPropertyMinStay_RS/PropertyMinStay

Minimum stay indicates the minimum number of days a reservation can be made for. Guests will be not be able to book your property if they want to book stays shorter than minim stay. This value is mandatory to provide. The Minimum stay value is used for the availability check.

Weekend pricing

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Price

Weekend pricing refers to a specific type of pricing rules that are applied on selected weekend days only. If the weekend-specific pricing is set and the reservation matches specified criteria, then the Weekend pricing will be applied instead of the Daily price.

Occupancy pricing

Complimentary topics

Discounts

Pull_ListPropertyDiscounts_RS/Discounts/LongStays

Pull_ListPropertyDiscounts_RS/Discounts/LastMinutes

Discounts are applied in order to deduct certain amount from the price, provided the specified requirements are met by the reservation. Currently, there are two types of discounts:

LOS discount may be applied when criteria specified for the length of stay are met. For example, LOS discount may apply only for 3-days stays. Last-minute discount on the other hand is applied if the reservation is made within the specified time before the check-in day.

Calendar

Pull_ListPropertyAvailabilityCalendar_RS

Calendar stands for the property's availability to rent. You can check here the availability of your property in the selected time frames. Once a reservation is inserted in Rentals United, the availability in the calendar gets blocked for this period. The calendar is updated automatically every time the availability of the property changes or at predefined times to remain up-to-date.

Preparation Time Before Arrival

Pull_ListSpecProp_RS/Property/PreparationTimeBeforeArrivalInHours

Changeover restrictions

Pull_ListPropertyAvailabilityCalendar_RS

Changeover restrictions specify whether check-in or check-out is allowed for a given day. This is a great option if you need the guests checking in and out to fit your schedule and it will help you avoid unexpected guests. If some days are restricted from changeovers, then your guests will simply not be able to select such a stay if the start or end day falls on a changeover-restricted day.

Tax

Pull_ListSpecProp_RS/Property/AdditionalFees
