Summary

Gingr can automate fees that apply during date ranges in the year. This lets you collect extra revenue for reservations booked in your busiest times, and saves you from tracking it by hand.

The system creates a surcharge for each unit of the reservation that falls in the date range. If you charge for boarding by the night, the charge applies to every night that falls on a peak date. If you charge by the day, the charge applies to each calendar date with a peak date rule.

Before You Begin

• List all the date ranges when you charge a fee because they fall in a peak period.
• Gingr can apply a daily flat fee to reservations that fall in the periods you set.
• If you are not sure Gingr can automate your peak date pricing, ask your onboarding specialist.

Steps

1. Go to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Pricing Rules.

2. Select the Location and Reservation Type for this rule.

   

3. Select Manage Peak Dates.

   

4. In the Create New Rules section, set up each peak date range with these settings:

   

   • From Date: Enter the date the peak date charge starts.
   • To Date: Enter the date the peak date charge ends.
   • Type: Select dollar or percent. Dollar adds a flat amount. Percent adds a percentage of the reservation cost.
   • Amount: Enter the amount (in 00.00 format) to charge per day in this peak date range.
   • Label: Name the charge as you want it to show on estimates, the shopping cart, and receipts.
   • Repeating: Select this box if the date range should have a charge every year. This works well for holidays and busy times that fall on the same dates each year.
5. Select Save.
6. Repeat for each other peak date range you want to charge for.
