How to accumulate promotions

In this manual we detail the steps to create accumulative promotions in the booking engine.

Promotions must be created in the usual way by accessing the Inventory > Promotions / Highlights section following the instructions in the following manual: How to create a promotion?

• The system allows you to define up to 3 groups of promotions. 

• All promotions will be created within one group. By default they will be created in group 1. 

• Promotions that are in the same group will not accumulate with each other. 

• The system will apply the promotion with the highest discount in each group. 

Thus, in order to set up promotions that can be accumulated with each other, they must be created in different groups, as promotions that are in the same group will never be accumulated.  

The following cases 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 together and a discount of 60% 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 of promotions 2 and 3 will be added together 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 applies.

As they are all in the same group, promotion 3 applies as it offers the highest discount.  

The discount applied will be 30%.
