When setting up your pricing structure in SabeeApp, the first and most important step is configuring your Master Rate Plan. This plan acts as the foundation for all other rate plans you may create later, so it’s essential to set it up correctly from the beginning.
Step 1: Accessing Master Prices
- Go to the Prices menu in SabeeApp.
- Select Rate Plans from the submenu.
- Click on the text "Master Prices" — the tile will open up.
- Click on Show tools, which will open up all the settings options
Step 2: Choose a Price Calculation Model
Before entering any prices, you must select how the system should calculate them. Click on "Edit price model" and choose one of the following options:
1. Standard Price Model
- Allows you to manually enter price values for each occupancy level.
- You’ll need to define prices for each combination individually.
2. Price Relation Model
- Lets you define rules that automatically calculate prices based on a default occupancy.
- First, set the default occupancy for each room type.
- Then, define price relationships (e.g., +10 EUR per extra guest, -15 EUR for single occupancy).
Important:
- Prices will only be entered manually for the default occupancy.
- Other prices are calculated automatically using your formula.
- If a formula results in a negative amount, the system will display 0 instead.
- If a rule causes a negative value for a smaller occupancy when modifying prices, a warning popup will alert you to review your setup.
💡 Note: If you use the Price Relation Model, you must set the same rules on your connected OTAs (e.g., Booking.com). Otherwise, prices may not sync correctly. OTA support teams can assist with this setup.
Step 3: Modify Master Price Settings
After selecting your pricing model, click "Edit Settings" to configure how the Master Prices behave:
Available for IBE
- Toggle to enable/disable Master Prices for your Internet Booking Engine (IBE).
- If the bubble is green, the Master Rate is visible and bookable for guests online.
Available for Channels
- Toggle to enable Master Prices for connected distribution channels (OTAs).
- If the bubble is green, the rate available for OTA's to be connected.
- If no channels are active, the toggle will be greyed out and inactive.
Select Channels
- Choose which OTAs the Master Price should connect to.
- You can use this feature only after requesting the channel connection via the Distribution > Channel Manager menu.
Statuses You Might See:
- Requested: The mapping team has been notified and will connect your rate plan soon.
- Active: The Master Price is successfully mapped and will sync with the selected OTA.
- Inactive: The Master Price was disconnected and will no longer sync with that channel.
Step 4: Policy Settings
- If you’ve already added your policies in Settings > Property Policies > Cancellation and Payment Policies, you can assign one to your Master Price here.
- The selected policy will apply to all bookings made under this rate plan.
Step 5: Upload prices:
- With the Help of the Price Wizard you can set up prices for one year in advance or for any selected period. For more information about how to set up the prices, please visit Adding Prices with Price Wizard
Step 6: Set restriction:
