In this manual, we detail the steps to create cumulative promotions in the booking engine.
Promotions should be created in the usual way by accessing the section Inventory > Featured / Promotions following the instructions in the following manual: How to create a promotion?
The accumulation can be configured by clicking on the "View promotion accumulation" link:
Promotion accumulation by groups
The system allows organizing promotions into groups, which determines how they are applied and if they can be accumulated with each other.
Number of available groups
By default, the system allows creating up to 3 promotion groups.
If you need more groups, you can contact the Support Department to request their activation.
Creating promotions
- All promotions must be created within a group.
- If not specified otherwise, promotions will be created by default in Group 1.
Application rules within the same group
- Promotions belonging to the same group do not accumulate with each other.
- If, for the same dates, there are several applicable promotions within the same group, the system will automatically apply the promotion that offers the greatest discount or benefit to the customer.
Accumulation of promotions between groups
- For promotions to be cumulative, they must belong to different groups.
- Only promotions from different groups accumulate.
- Promotions in the same group will never accumulate with each other.
Application by dates
The accumulation of promotions is done per day of stay, not per entire booking.
This means that, within the same booking, promotions from the same group can be applied as long as they do not coincide on the same dates of stay.
Here are some cases that illustrate the functionality:
Example 1:
- Promotion 1 / 10% --> Group 1
- Promotion 2 / 20% --> Group 2
- Promotion 3 / 30% --> Group 3
In this case, all 3 promotions will apply as they are in different groups.
The discounts will be added, and a 60% discount will be applied.
Example 2:
- Promotion 1 / 10% --> Group 1
- Promotion 2 / 20% --> Group 1
- Promotion 3 / 30% --> Group 3
In this case, promotions 2 and 3 will apply.
Promotion 1 will not apply as it is in the same group as promotion 2 and has a lower discount.
The discounts from promotions 2 and 3 will be added, and a 50% discount will be applied.
Example 3:
- Promotion 1 / 10% --> Group 1
- Promotion 2 / 20% --> Group 1
- Promotion 3 / 30% --> Group 1
In this case, only promotion 3 will apply.
As they are all in the same group, promotion 3, which offers the highest discount, will apply.
The applied discount will be 30%.
