Complex Tariff 1.8.0
- New feature: Occupied vs Unoccupied pricing. This feature can be enabled in Solidres Config > Rate plan. When enabled, there will be a separated price field input for unoccupied date in your rate plan. In frontend, Solidres shows a list of checkboxes for user to specify what day would be occupied or not in order to calculate the appropriate price.
- New feature: Occupancy restriction type. This new rate plan option is available for rate plan type “Per person per stay” that allows you to override the default room type’s occupancy restrictions (Max occupancy, Max occupancy for adult and Max occupancy for children) with the rate plan level Min adults, Max adults, Min children and Max children. The new flexibility open new ways to define rate plan for scenarios which were not possible before.
- New feature: Percent pricing type. This new rate plan option is also available for rate plan type “Per person per stay”. When enabled, then Adult 1 price will be set as the BASE price for other adults and children price, it is for scenario like: the booking cost for adult 1 is 100, adult 2 is 70% of the adult 1, the first children is free and the second children is 50% of the adult 1. It helps simplifying rate plan setup and reduce the updating time.
