Adding Rate Shop to Guest Stay

Use this screen to view and select rate plans options for multiple dates of the guest stay duration. You can also view data such as Total Taxes, Average Nightly Rate and Room Adjustments in the summary section. This functionality is used when the rate availability is controlled by the third party booking agency and reservation is done for multiple dates.

Note:

You can reserve the guest stay only if the configured Max Nights for the Rate plan exceeds the total nights of the guest stay.
The Rate Plan(s) is considered Limited if the Limited check box is selected for the rate plan on the Rate Plan Configuration screen. The guest profile has limited number of nights if the rate plan is Limited and the Control Segment with a configured limitation is associated with the profile. The Limited by Profile value is determined based on the total number of nights configured for the limited rate plan and the specified date range.
