Creating a discount

A discount must be linked to a discount campaign. You may need to create a discount campaign first. There are two types of discounts: using a fixed discount amount or a percentage of the rent. You choose one of these options when creating a new discount.

New discount:

In your PMS, go to the 'Setup' tab and click 'Discount actions' in the right-hand menu. Here you can create a discount via the '+New' button.

1. Select the name of the discount campaign to which the discount belongs; you will also find a button to quickly create a new discount campaign next to this input field.
2. Choose the type of discount and enter the desired percentage/amount. You can also set limits for the number of nights for which the discount applies.

3. In case of an early bird discount or last-minute discount, you can set an additional limit for the number of days between the booking date and the actual stay.
4. The checkmark 'counts as rent' is important if this discount may be applied to accommodations with an owner. Checked: the discount is included in the rent settlement and commission calculation. Unchecked: the rent settlement and commission are based on the original rent price, without this discount.
5. Optionally, you can apply coupon codes to a discount.
6. Under 'Period', you determine when the discount can be booked and when it is valid. Read more about the use of periods in discounts.
7. If desired, you can set conditions for the guest groups that can make use of this discount under 'Applicable to guest group'.
8. Choose the types and channels to which the discount applies.

Click 'Create discount action' to save.

Edit or delete discount:

In the overview of discounts, you can click the ID number of a discount to see its details. At the top right, you will see the 'Edit' button to change information. Here you will also find the 'Archive' button to delete a discount.
