Overview
By using AirHost Automatic Discounts, you can automatically apply discounts to room rates for stays up to 45 days in advance, based on the property's occupancy rate (OCC).
The occupancy thresholds and discount percentages are configured at the account level and apply globally. However, the feature can be enabled or disabled individually for each room type.
Note: AirHost Automatic Discounts do not apply to rate plans where [Pricing Tiers] is enabled.
Details
1. Account-Level Automatic Discount Setup Procedure
This feature is available for all AirHost ONE HMS Lite, Pro, and Premium plans.
You can configure discount conditions and discount rates from: [Admin Console] > Account Settings > Discount Settings
2. Room Type-Specific Automatic Discount Setup Procedure
You can configure this from: [Admin Console] > [Property List] > [Select Property] > [Channel Manager] > [Dynamic Pricing]
⚠️ Note:
Discounts are not applied immediately. They will be reflected at 4:00 AM on the following day.
Once automatic discounts are applied, a "%" icon appears on the pricing calendar. By hovering over this icon, you can also check the applied discount rate.
3. Syncing Automatically Discounted Rates to Each OTA (Enable per Plan)
By default, automatically discounted rates are not synced to each OTA’s rate plans.
To sync discounted rates to each OTA plan, please enable the “Sync Automatic Discounts” switch under: [Channel Settings]
⚠️ Note:
If a rate plan linked to a plan with [Rate Rank] enabled, this setting will be hidden.
4. Room Type-Specific Automatic Discount Setup Procedure
This feature requires a subscription to the AirHost ONE HMS Premium plan.
a) Click the Action [...] button, then select [% Customize Discount].
b) You can create three types of discount rates:
Last 1 week
Last 2 weeks
15–45 days
c) Click [+ Add New], enter the occupancy rate and discount amount, then save.
To edit an existing discount setting, click the ✎ (pencil) icon.
To delete it, click the trash icon.
5. Occupancy Rate (OCC) Calculation Method
OCC = (Number of Reserved Rooms ÷ Total Number of Rooms) × 100%
Number of Reserved Rooms: Total number of rooms booked within the specified period
Total Number of Rooms: Total number of rooms available for sale during the period (blocks and stop-sell are not considered)
6. Points to note when automatic discounts are not applied
Please ensure that discount rates are set for all required occupancy rate ranges.
If any range is not configured, there is a possibility that an unintended 100% discount may be applied.
If a discount rate is already set for a specific date, manually entered prices will be treated as the final price after discount, and the system will automatically calculate the original (pre-discount) price.
For example, if a discount is already applied to a date and you want the final price to be 10,000 yen, simply enter 10,000 yen.
If the discounted price falls below the room type’s minimum price, the minimum price will be applied instead.
