Properties can set up a Rate Plan specifically for a Promo/Special Event Rate, such as designated Holidays or Weddings for example, and this will enable guests to book online with the Promo entry. The Rate Promo will have to be setup for each separate Rate Plan (Unit Type) and Seasons, so please repeat the guidelines for each one. Once you have the intended dates, you may also close off any regular season rate, so that the general public would be prevented from booking those specific season dates.
Please reference these links for Knowledge Base guides for Rate Setup:
Navigate to Configuration>Rate Plans (Unit Types)
You will have to repeat the Rate Promo setup for each separate Rate Plan (Unit Type), so please follow the guidelines and apply the same setup steps for each one.
Select the Rate Plan (Unit Type) that will include a promo.
Click 'Add a Rate'.
Enter the rate name, drop-down Bookable with promo code, then 'Save' in the upper right.
The next step is to set the seasons for those dates under this new Rate.
Click 'Add a Season'.
Enter a Promo Code, which can be provided to the guests. Setup the rate values, base capacity, extra guest fees, include minimum stay requirements.
The Promo Code will be related to the specific season setup.
The property can provide the specific season promo code to the guest for online booking.
Once the season is setup, then you can also setup a closed season for when this should end.
You may also want to close off the regular season rate, so that the general public is prevented from booking those dates.
Please note a closed season makes it unbookable until another season is added afterward. $0 indicates closed season.
To conclude, you have now successfully setup a Rate Promo, along with adding closed seasons on the Rack Rate. If you would like a Rate Promo to be applied for each Unit/Unit Type, please repeat the same the steps for each Rate Plan.
The booking engine will create a box for the guest to enter a promo code when they book online.
