Rule sets
If you have multiple listings, you may have access to features that let you to create custom pricing and availability rules that you can save and apply to multiple listings.
How rule-sets work?
You name your rule-set, then add rules for how you’d like your nightly price to change when your rule-set is applied. You can add the following rules:
Adjust the price per night based on the time of year.
Give guests a discount for booking longer stays.
Reduce your nightly price as the check-in date gets closer.
Add a discount for booking further in advance.
How rules are used to calculate your nightly price
Once you apply a rule-set to a listing, it will override existing pricing and availability settings you’ve set for those dates. However, these rules will not affect listing prices when Smart Pricing is turned on—so you must turn Smart Pricing off in order to use this feature.
