How to Set Up Discounts in mr.alfred

The Discounts submodule in the Revenue module allows you to configure automatic price reductions based on:

  • Stay length
  • Booking dates
  • Booking creation windows
  • Channel-specific promotions

These discounts are ideal for applying weekly/monthly stay incentives or early-bird and last-minute offers.


🧭 Accessing the Discounts Submodule

  1. Go to: Revenue → Discounts
  2. Use the top filters to search existing discounts by:
    • Keyword
    • Property
    • Date range (stay or creation)
    • Channel
    • Status (Enabled / Disabled)


➕ Creating a New Discount

  1. Click “+ Add Discount”
  2. Fill out the discount details:

🔹 Required Fields:

  • Properties – Select one or more properties
  • Type – Select discount logic: Long Stay, Weekly, etc.
  • Name – Label your discount clearly (e.g. “Weekly Winter Offer”)
  • Booking Dates Between – Stay date range the discount applies to
  • Booking Created Between – Reservation creation window
  • Minimum Stay / Maximum Stay – Stay duration range
  • Discount (%) – Total discount applied to eligible bookings
  • Apply On – Select which OTA channels this applies to
  • Status – Enable or disable the rule

Optional:

  • Description – Add internal notes or logic explanation

🔄 An individual discount will be created for each selected property.


🧠 How It Works

  • The system checks if all criteria match (stay length, booking window, channel)
  • If the booking fits the rule, the discount is applied automatically
  • Discount is calculated on the final price before taxes/fees

⚠️ Note: Discounts configured here do not sync with OTAs. They only apply to direct bookings via the booking engine or internal reservation creation.

✅ Tip: Use different rules for each season or target OTA if needed
