Create an Extended Stay Discount (How-To)

Article Details

If you charge/discount for pets based on the length of their stay, Gingr can automatically reference the duration of their stay to apply the proper discounts or charges using the pricing rule type Units of Reservation.

  • The units of reservation pricing rules are based on the number of nights stayed between the time of check-in and check out. 

  • Units of reservation are based on the charge by setting on reservation types. 

    • Charge by Night
    • Charge by Day 
    • Charge by 24 hrs 
    • Charge by Hour 
Type Description Helpful Hints
Units of Reservation (Daily Rate Modifier) This pricing rule is based on the number of units of reservation completed and discounts the nightly rate.  Example: $5 off per night when staying 10 or more nights. 
Units of Reservation (Final Rate Modifier) This pricing rule is based on the number of units of reservation completed and provides a 1-time discount.  Example: 1 night free for every 10 nights of boarding.
