Managing Rates & Restrictions At The Day Level
Navigate to Product Setup → Rates
Entering Rates
Once a rate has been set, it cannot be deleted or set to zero.
This limitation exists because OTAs do not allow rates to be removed or set to zero once published. To ensure consistent behavior and avoid rate synchronization issues between RoomBoss and connected OTAs, RoomBoss enforces the same rule.
If a rate should no longer be sold, users should close the rate for the relevant dates instead.
Rates can be opened or closed per day at any time as shown at the bottom of this page.
Rates can be entered day by day directly into the page:
A quicker alternative is adding rates in bulk, to do this click the edit icon next to the desired room type:
Example: Using Bulk Update to enter rates
In the example shown, 2 room types exist:
- Studio
- Two Bedroom
Studio - Regular Rate is set to 30,000¥ for dates 2024/12/14 to 2024/12/31.
Modify the rate plan for other rooms as well using the same dates (2024/12/14 to 2024/12/31):
Two Bedroom - Regular Rate set to 56,000¥.
Once the main rate Regular Rate is set, all derived rates will be automatically calculated.
Restrictions

The following restrictions can be set:
- Open/Closed rate plans
- Open/Closed for Arrival
- Open/Closed for Departure
