Tariff Sets

A tariff set provides tariffs for all tariff types and all room types. It can be associated with more than one season.

Tariffsets are where you enter the currency amounts that will be used to calculate tariffs for bookings.

All tariffs are for one guest for one night. When entering e.g. weekend rates or 5-night discounts, do not provide the total cost of the weekend etc. You may have to divide by 2 or 5 in these examples. Retain as many decimals as possible to remove rounding errors from the calculations.

For book-by-room lodges, tariffs can be calculated in three main ways:

  • Flat rate per person (for each tariff-type)
  • A different rate depending on how many people are in the room (occupancy)
  • Charging for empty beds, using a percentage you set of one tariff type for members and another tariff type for guests.

For book-by-bed lodges, flat rate is the only calculation type available. You can also set an amount to add to each booking and to each person. Control the title of these using configuration items BOOKING_FEE_TITLE and FLAT_FEE_TITLE respectively.

For book-by-room lodges, you can set an amount to add to each booking (BOOKING_FEE_TITLE) and to each room (FLAT_FEE_TITLE).

Customisation of tariffs can occur in several ways:

  • By overriding the tariff type based on the age of the member.
  • Overriding the tariff type based on other circumstances such as eligibility for special tariffs.
  • Changing the way 5 or 7 night tariffs work.
  • Overriding occupancy calculations.

Room Types

Grouping rooms into Room Types allows for different tariffs for each room type. (more…)
