Setting a new discount - WEB

Note: If you are editing discounts on the Local Booking Manager see how here https://support.booking-manager.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002090111

Booking Manager charter portal allows you to setup discounts and lets you choose whether you want to add the discounts manually or to use a trigger so discounts are applied automatically depending on the trigger type.

The discounts are managed in My Account (1.) > Reservation Settings (2.). > Discounts Editor (3.)

• Tab >Properties

When you open a new discount under it will have the trigger type set to no trigger.

This kind of discount is usually used for boat show discounts or regular/repeater client discounts, and it needs to be added manually on the calculation.

However, if you want the discount to be applied automatically according to a certain criteria then you have 4 triggers available:

1. No trigger—by default. This means that the trigger has to be placed on the calculation manually.
2. Service duration—applied if a charter lasts for a certain defined number of days; the most common are two-week discount and three-week discount
3. Reservation period—applied if a charter was booked in a certain period; for example, you are offering a summer discount if the agent makes a booking until the end of February.
4. Service period—applied if charter is taking place in a particular period or it can be used for defining early booking discount
5. Last minute—used for last-minute discounts within a certain number of days of check-in

Each discount can be set to exclude other discounts or whether it is affected by the maximum discount or not.

• Tab >Advanced

Under Advanced settings, you can define 

• Available on base—Valid for base (1) Valid for kind (2) meaning catamaran, sailing boat, motor boat....
