FAQ

Per room applies once per room and is split across occupants.

Per passenger applies to each passenger.

Rule changes do not always trigger recalculation immediately.

Updates can take up to 30 minutes.

Why do I only see one hotel cost total in Profit?

The Profit tab shows the total first.

What does Extra Cost Included do?

It reduces the base price value used in the rule.

Why is my Early Booking rule with Board not applied?

All passengers in the room must match the same board type.

Can Early Booking and Stay and Pay combine?
