Overview
The Bulk Update tool lets you change pricing, availability, and restrictions across one or several rooms and rate plans, for any date range — up to two years in advance. You can run several actions in a single update, planning peak seasons, holidays, and promotions ahead of time without going day-by-day.
📌 Good to know
Derived rate plans (linked to an independent rate plan, usually your Standard rate) don't need to be selected during a bulk update. They update automatically based on the base plan, with restrictions preserved.
You can't select conflicting actions (like opening and closing a rate at the same time) or duplicate actions in a single update.
Opening availability or adjusting pricing doesn't affect existing reservations. If a date already has a reservation, that unit stays unavailable for that night.

FAQs
Can I perform multiple actions at once?
Can I perform multiple actions at once?
Yes — combine several actions in one go, for example updating both price and availability. Just don't select conflicting actions (like opening and closing the same rate at the same time).
What happens if I select derived rate plans during a bulk update?

No need to select them. If you update the base rate plan (usually your Standard rate), the changes apply automatically to all linked (derived) rate plans.

I updated restrictions, but nothing changed — why?
I updated restrictions, but nothing changed — why?
This usually happens when you select both the original and derived rates. When updating restrictions (like minimum stay or closed to arrival), select only the base rate — derived plans update automatically based on it.
