How to add booking notice discount or price increase

Give your early bookers a discount or add a price increase for last minute bookings.

This price modulator works for all product types and has the role of lowering or increasing the price, depending on how long before the travel date the customer is booking. You could e.g. give a 30% early bird discount to everyone who books more than 30 days before departure or increase the price by 10% for all those who book less than 7 days before departure.

 

1. To start with, click Settings, Product extensions > Price modulators

2. Click Add to create a new price modulator rule.
3. Select Booking notice price modulator from the list of available price modulators.
4. Define the modulator's settings.
   • Title: The name of the price modulator
   • Price Change: Should it be a fixed amount or percentage?
   • Notice ranges: Add the notice range, e.g. 15-30 days in advance, and the percentage increase or decrease. You can add more than one. Please note that discount is added with a minus (-) prefix.

You're on the new pricing system if:
