2. Add pricing to the availability event

This opens the Add Availability Rates modal. From there, you can select the availability event.
The modal then refreshes to reveal your pricing options. Select Custom Pricepoint and the Save to close the modal and move to the next step.
You can then specify the custom rates for that availability event within the Pricing Table and the fields provided.
What this looks like varies depending on your base rate configuration. Whether you are using product rates, guest rates, group pricing or a combination of these rate types - our pricing features are very flexible!
