The following lesson will show you how to add rates to new seasons which you have created in the NightsBridge Setup.
NightsBridge can only show availability and be bookable online for time periods where you have rates entered.
Log into the NightsBridge Setup
Have a look at our tutorial on how to access your NightsBridge Setup.
Click on Step 3: Setup Rates
Click on the first room type
Choose how you want to charge for this room type
Click on the drop down arrow next to How do you charge for this room?
Select either Per Person Sharing or One Price for the Unit.
** Per Person Sharing means the rate increases as the number of guests staying in the room increases.
** One Price for the Unit means there is only ONE rate charged for the room, regardless of the number of guests staying in that room.
See separate tutorials for:
- How Do I Set Up Per Person Sharing Rates?
- How Do I Set Up Unit Rates ?
Choose whether or not you charge different rates at weekends
Click on the drop down arrow next to Do you have different rates at weekends?
If you charge different rates on certain days of the week (e.g. the weekend), select Yes from the drop down menu and tick the days of the week the different rates will apply to.
Otherwise, if you charge the same rate throughout the week, select No from the drop down menu.
See the tutorial on How Do I Charge Different Rates on Weekends?
Click on the first meal plan (if there is more than one)
Enter rates for your new season
Your newly created season will appear at the bottom of the existing seasons, and will display zero rates throughout.
Enter rates by selecting and typing over the 'zero' in each of the fields, and then click on Save.
Repeat the above steps to enter rates for additional meal plans (if applicable)
Click on Save when you have finished entering rates for all meal plans which are available for the room type.
Select your NEXT room type and enter rates, then the NEXT and so on, until ALL your room types have rates
When you have finished entering rates for all room types, click on Exit to return to the main menu of the NightsBridge Setup (Version 6).
TEST your rates online from your own NightsBridge booking form
Go online to your property's own website and click on the link to the NightsBridge booking form.
Select dates to check availability for EACH new SEASON that you created.
Test that your rates are correct for ALL room types and meal plans by selecting one night in each season and selecting different numbers of guests (e.g. adults and children) to see that the correct prices are displayed.
NB: YOUR RATES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY --- PLEASE TEST THEM ONLINE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE ALL CORRECT.
After you've adjusted any of your rates or seasons, please remember to check your minimum stays and other additional settings.
