What is Promotional Code?

A promotional code is a code which can be applied to a rate on a booking in order to give customers/guest's a discounted amount of the original rate price. A promotional code can now be set up and used within our system with any rates you have in the system. 

They will have to be set up before use and then can be easily used. 

Where can I see/use this feature?

There is a new area of the system for promotional codes, if you go to Admin → Finance → Promotional Codes, then you can see what existing promotional codes you have. 

...

We now show Promo Avg, Promo Total and we add to the room stay what promo code has been applied. 

Info

If a promotional code is not used, the system will act and look the same as it did before.



Note

When a promotional code is used, the Average Nightly Rate which could be edited will not be allowed to be edited. This is because the promotional code is based on the rate. If you would require a change, you will need to change the Rate.  If the promotional code is 0% then you can use the discount rate as well.
