Upload photos of the accommodation

-
Create the accommodation price
Click on Edit
Click on the option "Enter custom prices"
Simple pricing: Used when you have a weekly/Monthly/Yearly price, the same price regardless of the duration.
Example: $200 per week - If an agent quotes the accommodation for 4 weeks the price will be 4x$200= $800.
Flexible pricing: Bookable for a range of durations when the prices are in tiers/by range.
Example: If an agent quotes the service for 6 weeks the price will be 6x$200 = $1200.
Fixed Pricing: When the service is sold with a specific duration.
Tip: By using fixed pricing you won't have to set a minimum and maximum duration in your accommodation additional settings, the duration of the course will be fixed by the price template.
