1. New 'per day' price type
This works exactly the same as 'per night', except we describe it as 'per day' instead. This means that things like bike hire or surf lessons (which generally happen during the day) make more sense:
2. More control over per person extras
Previously, if an extra was priced per person per night (or week), we'd automatically calculate the total based on all nights and all guests on that booking. Now we show you a little box for nights and guests, so if only one guest needs this extra, or it only applies to some of the nights of the booking, you can fine-tune accordingly.
For example, maybe you offer a dinner package which guests can select. But if they don't want the dinner package every night, you can just enter the number of nights they do want it:
Guests booking online can do this too. By default, when they check the extra it'll apply to all nights and all guests, but if they want to over-ride that they can:
Or if only one guest needs surf lessons, then the guest (or you) can adjust the number of guests for that extra:
3. New price type of 'variable'
There is also a new price type of 'variable' which allows you to type in any amount for that extra. This is useful for drinks or food bills, where the amount could be anything. You have always been able to record those types of items as adjustments, but having them as extras makes it easier for you to report on how much revenue you got from food, how much from drink, etc. (rather than having everything lumped together as general adjustments)
4. Limit extras to some rooms only
Sometimes an extra is only available with a certain room. You can now set this up if you need to. Guests booking online will then only see that extra if they have booked the corresponding room. And you can only add it to a booking if the booking is for that room.
