How can I set my 'late availability' discounts?

Late availability discounts help you fill last-minute bookings by offering increasing discounts as the arrival date gets closer. These discounts only apply to properties that haven't been booked yet.

Example Strategy

You can set up multiple discount tiers that increase closer to the arrival date:

• 10% discount for bookings within 14 days of arrival
• 20% discount for bookings within 7 days of arrival

The closer the guest books to their arrival date, the higher discount they receive.

How to Set Up Late Availability Discounts

1. Log in to your Booking Brain dashboard.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the dashboard.
3. Find the "Discounts" section.
4. Locate "Late availability discount" in your list of offers
5. Configure your discount:
   • Days Prior to Arrival - Enter the number of days before arrival when this discount applies (e.g., enter "15" for 15 days before arrival)
   • Discount Percentage - Enter your desired discount amount (e.g., 10%, 20%)
6. Save your settings.

Tip: You can add multiple late availability discounts with different timeframes to create a tiered discount structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will late availability discounts apply to properties already booked?

No. Late availability discounts only apply to unbooked properties. If your property is already booked in advance, these discounts will not be applied to that booking.

Can I set multiple late availability discounts at different time periods?

Yes. You can create a tiered discount strategy by setting up multiple discounts. For example, one discount for 14 days prior and another for 7 days prior. The system will automatically apply the appropriate discount based on when the guest books.

How do I know which discount will be applied to a booking?

The discount that matches the booking timeframe will be automatically applied. If a guest books 10 days before arrival and you have a "14 days prior" discount set up, that discount will apply. If they book 5 days before arrival and you have a "7 days prior" discount, the higher discount will apply instead.
