During peak holiday seasons - like December getaways, Easter weekends, or school breaks - you might want to adjust your pricing strategy. While your standard child policy works smoothly throughout the year, you may want to charge a specific fixed rate for children staying in a particular room type during high-demand dates.
With a seasonal Child Policy Override, you can easily apply a dedicated, season-specific child rate to any individual room type.
Here is how to set up your seasonal override step-by-step:
Step 1: Open the Rate Capture for your room type
Click on Setup on your Main Menu.
Click on Setup Rates.
Select the specific room type you want to set the child rate override for.
Step 2: Configure your Child Policy Override
- Locate and tick the box for Override Child Rules to reveal the seasonal override options.
- Use the fields to enter the override rate that the system will override your child policy with for the selected season.
With a seasonal Child Rate Override, you must enter the actual value you want to charge, not a percentage. - Click on Save.
- Important:
- When setting a seasonal child rate override, you must enter the actual cash value (e.g., 150) you wish to charge, rather than a percentage.
- Keep in mind that this fixed rate will override all of your standard child rates and age categories for that room type during the selected season.
Step 3: Save and Publish your updates
Click Save (where available) and then click Exit to return to your main NightsBridge Setup screen.
- Click the Publish button to distribute your updated rates live across all your connected channels and your direct booking engine.
A friendly tip:
Once your changes have published, we always recommend doing a quick test on your online booking form. Search for a stay with a child over your chosen seasonal dates to ensure the total rate calculates exactly the way you want!
