Children Prices
This page explains how to create prices for children.
How many children are allowed in a room is defined in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP.
To set a price for children go to RATES open the rate (or create a new one) and enter the children price in the field "Extra Child". You can also set if the children price applies on its own or if the price of an adult is changed additionally.
If your children price applies to a specific age group to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > PROPERTY BOOKING PAGE > DEVELOPERS "Custom Text" and exchange the default text for children:
Children|Children under 10 Child|Child under 10
You can use the descriptive areas of the booking page to give further explanation on how your children prices work.
In rates you can set one price for children. If you have prices for different age groups you can set them as upsell items with a negative value.
Example: A room costs €100 for one guest and €50 for each additional guests. One child can stay per room. Following discounts for children apply:
- children under 2 years are free
- €20.00 discount für children 2-6 years
- €10.00 discount für children 6-14 years
- children over 14 pay full prices
Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES-> ROOMS -SETUP and set
