Calendar limitations

[Livia1308]

I am trying to restrict my bookings to a Saturday turn during PEAK season.  I find it hard to believe that this platform, limited as it is, does not let you restrict check days by a date range.  Any ideas?

Actually, you can do this by turning on Professional Hosting Tools and creating a rule set. You have to apply the Rule Set to each Saturday manually (it won't allow you to do it by calendar date or date range), but it will work.

Thank you, Joan. I was hoping it wasn’t so. I can’t believe that accompany this big has such a limited platform. I’ve never seen the professional tools I’ll take a look.

Yes...I believe they used to have this functionality, but removed it in a software release. 2022? If you use a dynamic pricing tool (like PriceLabs) or a channel manager, they can provide tools to do what you are wanting as well. 

Here is some info on How to Use Pro Tools

Hi @Livia1308!

Were you able to restrict your bookings?

@Joan2709 shared a very useful link that I'm sure it will help you.

Warm regards,

Alex

@Alex Actually, it took me forever to get the hang of it but yes, I was able to go through 2025. I am not going to go back to instant booking, though in the event, it doesn’t work. I do not have any confidence in this platform.  They should let you take the percentage of a discount or an increase to a three point precision.

Still an issue.  When you toggle to the original calendar, the pricing is all jumbled and nonsensical.  What does the guest see?
