Charge for additional guests over a set number
Hi there!
We had to let go of Checkfront during the pandemic, and unfortunately, that meant that we lost our entire configuration, and it's been a painstaking process to get back online. Unfortunately, there are some things that I'm stuck with that I just can't remember how we had it set up.
One of them has to do with our Airbnb API connections...
Our properties have a base charge, and we charge more for additional guests.
Example: Tranquility Manor, rate of $500/night for up to 5 people. After 5 people, we charge an additional $25/night up to 15 people. (So 15 people would be $750.00/Night).
I thought this was pulled over from Airbnb, but it doesn't seem to be. I'm sure it's something small, I just need a bit of a refresher... How do I make this happen?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your question!
Currently and in the past, pricing based on occupancy which we refer to as Group Pricing is not something compatible with the Myallocator (> Airbnb) integration.
Checkfront will send the default value of the parameter applied to the item and its pricing to Myallocator, but pricing won't conditionally change based on occupancy selected via Airbnb.
That said, it may be worth checking directly with the Airbnb Support team to see if there is some way to override and set up occupancy/group pricing on their end.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can clarify further. -
Checkfront-Documentation-Team hi again!
OK so I figured that part out; the updated Airbnb API actually took care of it.
Now my issue is this:
I am also creating the direct booking widget on our site for the property. I'll use the group pricing to make it work on the booking widget for direct booking? I'm just wondering if there'll be any clash. -
Hi Patrick!
An item in Checkfront can have group pricing set up and still sync with myallocator.
As full group pricing syncing is not currently supported, when syncing a group pricing item, only the price for the main parameter will be synced to myallocator. The item when booked in Checkfront will work as expected with group pricing
Hope this helps!
