Type

The type option

The type is the name of the charge. There are a pre-determined number of types available. If there is a charge you would like to add that is not listed, please contact us.

Percentage Or Fixed

The percentage option

This option allows you to choose whether the charge is a percentage of the booking total or a fixed amount. If you select percentage, the amount will be calculated as a percentage of the booking total. If you select fixed, the amount will be added as a fixed charge. Percentage based charges calculate after discounts but before any other charges.

Calculation

Calculation option

There are four ways a fixed charge can be calculated:

  • Per Stay - The charge will be added once for the entire booking.
  • Per Night - The charge will be added for each night of the booking.
  • Per Person Per Stay - The charge will be added for each person in the booking.
  • Per Person Per Night- The charge will be added for each person in the booking per night

Percentage based charges are always charged Per Stay.

Optional Charge?
