Greetings, hoteliers! 👋
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the need to constantly update pricing, availability, and restrictions? Fear not—Amenitiz's Bulk Update tool is here to make your life easier. It allows you to update your property’s settings up to two years in advance, ensuring you stay ahead of the game with minimal effort! 🧞♂️✨
With this tool, you can manage multiple actions at once, applying them across one or several rooms for different time periods. Whether you're adjusting prices or controlling availability, Bulk Update makes it a breeze!
Watch our tutorial ▶️👇
Preserving restrictions:
For derived plans (the ones you've previously set up as deriving from your standard rate), all your restrictions stay intact, ensuring consistency and control.
Action restrictions:
To maintain logical consistency, you cannot select conflicting actions (like opening and closing a rate simultaneously) or duplicate actions.
Now, let’s break down the actions you can perform and how each one works.
What is it? This action allows you to set whether your property is open or closed for bookings on your website and across OTAs like Booking.com, Airbnb, or Expedia.
Why use it?
- If your rates are closed, your rooms won’t appear for bookings.
- All rate plans are closed by default, so you’ll need to open them to start receiving bookings.
How to do it:
- Head to the Planning > Inventory tab.
- Select ‘Bulk Update’.
- Choose the rooms and rate plans you want to open/close.
- Select the date range(s) for when this should apply.
- Choose Open rate or Close rate from the action options.
- Hit Update and confirm!
