[Property Settings] Creating a Rate Plan

[Overview]

This guide explains the steps to create a rate plan in the [Admin Console] -> [Property List] -> [Channel Manager] -> [Rate Plan] -> [Add a Rate Plan]. If there are multiple rate plans available on the OTA side, it is necessary to add corresponding rate plans in AirHost as well.

Creating a Rate Plan

Note: A default rate type is automatically created.

For accommodations typically used for vacation rentals, one rate plan is usually sufficient. Adjustments for high-season rates, such as during the Golden Week or year-end/New Year holidays, can be made within the same rate plan's calendar.

If you wish to set prices linked to other rate plans (e.g., a room-only plan and a breakfast included plan), when creating an additional rate type, select "Link to another rate plan" and set the differential amount.

Steps to create a rate plan:

The Default Rate > [Default Rate] is only relevant for Airbnb and Rakuten Oyado.

If a default base price (Base Price) is already set on the Airbnb side, the “Default Rate” configured under AirHost > Rate Plans:

The Default Rate shown in Content Management is initially imported from Airbnb during the first synchronization.

The Default Rate configured in AirHost > Rate Plans is used only as a fallback when no default base price exists on the Airbnb side.

Even if the Default Rate in AirHost > Rate Plans was used during the initial setup,
any subsequent changes or saves to this Default Rate will not be reflected in the Airbnb Base Price.

If you wish to update the default base price on Airbnb, please do so by:

In Channel Manager > Channel Settings, when:

the Default Rate (Base Price) is sent to Rakuten Oyado as part of the API parameters.
The final handling and application of the price are then managed on the Rakuten Oyado side.

When Inventory Sync is enabled, the Default Rate does not affect pricing on Rakuten Oyado.
