Daily price model
You may also operate on the Daily price model. Calculation of daily prices is based on the values from various data fields. It allows for creating detailed prices and customizing them in a great detail.
Daily price
Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Price
Daily price is the standard way of setting prices. It indicates the base price per night for the Standard number of guests.
Standard number of guests
Pull_ListSpecProp_RS/Property/StandardGuests
Standard number of guests refers to the maximum number of guests included in the Daily price for whom the price does not change. If more guests than specified book a stay, the extra guests will be charged with the price set in the Extra guest price element.
Extra guest price
Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Extra
Extra guest price is the price for guests that are not included in the Standard number of guests. In other words, if the overall number of guests exceeds the Standard number of guests, Extra guest price is applied for each guest above the specified standard.
Minimum stay
Pull_ListPropertyMinStay_RS/PropertyMinStay
Minimum stay indicates the minimum number of days a reservation can be made for. Guests will be not be able to book your property if they want to book stays shorter than minim stay. This value is mandatory to provide. The Minimum stay value is used for the availability check.
Weekend pricing
Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Price
Weekend pricing refers to a specific type of pricing rules that are applied on selected weekend days only. If the weekend-specific pricing is set and the reservation matches specified criteria, then the Weekend pricing will be applied instead of the Daily price.
Occupancy pricing
Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/EGPS
In Occupancy pricing, it is possible to specify pricing plans for different numbers of guests. The difference between Extra guest price and Occupancy pricing lies in fact that with Extra guest price the same price is applied for each extra guest. On the other hand, in Occupancy pricing it is perfectly possible to specify different prices for different numbers of guests. Note that Occupancy pricing takes precedence over Extra guest price.

Calendar
Pull_ListPropertyAvailabilityCalendar_RS
Calendar stands for the property's availability to rent. You can check here the availability of your property in the selected time frames. Once a reservation is inserted in Rentals United, the availability in the calendar gets blocked for this period. The calendar is updated automatically every time the availability of the property changes or at predefined times to remain up-to-date.
Preparation Time Before Arrival
Pull_ListSpecProp_RS/Property/PreparationTimeBeforeArrivalInHours
PTBA stands for Preparation Time Before Arrival. It is a general keyword to describe the minimum time a booking has to be made in advance in order to be accepted by the PM. The dates restricted by PTBA are normally set as not available already in the calendar. Hence, the PTBA data is already applied in availability and sent to the channel within the ARI data.
The PTBA in Rentals United blocks the availability x hours from 23:59 PM of the day of arrival on the property's local timezone. For example if the PTBA is set to 6 hours, bookings will be accepted until 6:00 PM of the day of arrival, after 6:00 PM the calendar will be closed. If the PTBA is set to 24 hours, bookings will be accepted until 23:59 PM before the day of arrival, after that the calendar will be closed.
Changeover restrictions
Changeover restrictions specify whether check-in or check-out is allowed for a given day. This is a great option if you need the guests checking in and out to fit your schedule and it will help you avoid unexpected guests. If some days are restricted from changeovers, then your guests will simply not be able to select such a stay if the start or end day falls on a changeover-restricted day.
