N.B.: When editing the rates of your offer, you are only able to change the selected amount (i.e. change the discount from 20% to 30%) and the translations. You are not able to edit the arrival & book dates of your offer. If you have made a mistake in any of those dates, you will have to remove or block the rate and create a new one. Please note that the offer module is being reviewed and will soon be updated with usability improvements in the near future.
Offer Combination
It is possible to combine offers together. However, there are certain rules & best practices that need to be followed. Within an offer, you will find a Combinations Card which has 2 sub-tabs :
- Combinations
- Linked in other combinations
The Combinations sub-tab refers to what other resources the current offer is associated with (link from this offer to other resources).
The Linked in other combinations sub-tab refers to which other resources are associated to the current offer (link from other resources to this offer).
Only 1 of these two sub-tabs should be configured (either link in one direction or the other for a given Offer.
As a best practice, Maxxton suggests to have an a link from the less bookable & open resources to the more bookable & open ones. For example, a long stay offer should not be linked to an early booking offer, but rather the early booking offer should be linked to the long stay offer.

| Please note that our system can automatically pick up only 2 offers that are simultaneously applicable (i.e. Long stay + Early booking) via either Reservation Manager or via API. If 3 offers are automatically applicable, the system will not show a rate with the 3 offers to the user, but only 2 (the ones offering the best price will be selected). However, it is still possible to have 3 offers within a booking. The 3rd offer (or more) can be manually selected by the user once a rate has been selected and booked. |
