The combination of rates allows sales possibilities that would be restricted, by minimum anticipation or minimum stay, by combining the price of the best available rates for the days of the restriction.
This functionality offers the best price for options that would otherwise be restricted and allows you to compete directly with OTAs such as Booking.com that already apply such combinations in their rates.
To enable this functionality, go to Settings > Behavior > Advanced features and Enable automatic rate combination.
Case studies:
- For minimum advance notice
A minimum 3-day advance inventory line (i.e. non-refundable) will allow same-day bookings but the first 3 nights will be offered at the price of the unrestricted advance rate (i.e. free cancellation).
Example:
- For minimum stay
An inventory line restricted by a minimum stay of 7 days on any of the days of the search (e.g. Non-refundable) will combine restricted day rates with other unrestricted or lower minimum stay rates (in this case Free Cancellation).
Example:
In both cases:
*The resulting combination will apply to the most restricted rate and the contracting conditions will be maintained (in this case those of the Non-refundable rate).
*Promotions will be applied per day: if we have a promotion that applies to the Non-refundable rate, the discount will be applied to the days that have taken the price of that rate.
