If you run a rental-based business, small booking rule details can make a big difference. This update helps your CRM apply duration discounts and minimum notice rules based on the rental periods you actually offer, so bookings feel more accurate, easier to manage, and less confusing for your customers.
π Why This Matters
When your business rents by days, nights, weeks, or months, customers usually choose dates based on your rental periods, not exact hourly calculations. With this improvement, discount eligibility and booking notice requirements follow those configured rental periods more closely. That means fewer surprises, clearer rules, and a smoother booking experience for both you and your customers.
β¨ Whatβs New
- Duration-based discounts follow rental periods: Discounts are now applied based on the rental period you configured for the listing, which makes date-based bookings behave the way most business owners expect.
- Minimum scheduling notice is easier to understand: For rentals set up in days, weeks, or months, notice requirements are checked against the rental period instead of exact hour counts.
- Better fit for date-based rentals: This is especially helpful for businesses offering day-based, night-based, weekly, or monthly rentals where customers pick dates instead of exact start and end times.
- Hour-based rules still work for precise timing: If your business needs exact time-based restrictions, you can still use hours for notice rules and keep those requirements strict.
π οΈ How to Use It
- Step 1: Review your rental settings and confirm whether your booking options are based on days, nights, weeks, or months.
- Step 2: Check your duration discount rules to make sure they match the rental periods you want to reward, such as 2-day stays or weekly bookings.
- Step 3: Review your minimum scheduling notice settings and decide whether your business needs period-based notice or exact hour-based notice.
- Step 4: Test a few sample bookings to confirm discounts and notice requirements behave the way you expect before sending customers through the booking flow.
π‘ Pro Tip
If your booking rules match how you actually sell rentals, customers are more likely to complete checkout without hesitation, which can lead to more confirmed bookings and less lost revenue.
