If you would like to apply a rule-set for Airbnb from SabeeApp, just click on the Distribution / Channel Manager / Active channels / Airbnb / Rule sets. As you click on the add new rule set button, the following window appears:
Create a rule set
1. Add name and colour
First, you have to give a name and choose a color of your rule-set. This is how it will appear in Airbnb's extranet.
2. Define discount rules
After this, you can specifiy the conditions of the rules. You can add the following rules to a rule-set:
- Nightly price: Adjust the price per night for your listing based on the time of year. For example, you can create a rule that increases your nightly price by 10% for dates during the holiday season.
- Length-of-stay discounts: Give guests a discount for booking longer stays. You can discount by the week, month, or a custom timeframe that you create.
- Last-minute discounts: Reduce your nightly price as the check-in date gets closer.
- Early-bird discounts: Add a discount for booking further in advance.
- Trip length requirements: Set the minimum and maximum number of nights that guests can book.
There is no limitation how many rules you're setting in a rule-set. E.g. You can specify all rules or just one.
If your rule-set includes multiple pricing rules, they’ll be applied in this order:
1. Nightly and weekend pricing
2. Early-bird, last-minute, and length-of-stay (weekly, monthly) discounts—these will be combined and then applied as one discount.
3. Select host IDs
At the end, select the Hosts where you would like to apply. Only those HostID numbers are appearing here, which have an active Airbnb synchronisation with SabeeApp.
Once you have set up the rules you wish to apply click on the Create Rule button.
After this, the details of the Rule-set will appear like this:
4. Activate your rule set
Please note it's not enough to create the Rule-set, you have to activate as well!
First, you have to select the HostID, then listings. At the end you've to set a period where the rule-set will be applied.
By the action section you have three options. By clicking on the Edit button, you can modify your current rule-set. With the activate button you can apply this rule-set on Airbnb. And with the Archive button you're deleting the created ruleset what will be removed on Airbnb as well.
As you have done everything, the chosen listings will receive the chosen color in Airbnb's extranet:
Important notes:
- Anytime you check the Rule-set section on SabeeApp, all Rule-sets created on AirBnB will be visible on SabeeApp as well. However, we suggest to create and apply Rule-sets only on SabeeApp and not on Airbnb.
- Once you decide to use the Rule-set creation an application on SabeeApp for Airbnb, do not edit the Rule-set on Airbnb anymore, but on SabeeApp.
