How pricing and availability rules work

Price and availability rules are part of the core functionality of Rezgo and make up the fundamentals of the business rules engine. Here is how they work:

Price Rules
Price rules affect the price of a particular option during a particular period of time. They can be a percentage difference or a fixed amount. For example, if you create an option that is $99 and you want it to be 5% less on Saturdays, you could create a price rule for Saturdays where the Adult price is -5% and apply it to the option. You are not limited to associating the price rule with just one option. You could in fact, apply the price rule to any option in your inventory.

You also want to set minimum price for each option by editing option information. This is a safety feature to prevent discounts from rules overlapping and lowering the price too far.

Availability Rules
These work in much the same way as the price rules except that they affect the number of available seats for an item. If you wanted to set a black out period for example, you might create an availability rule starting on one date and ending on another with an availability of “0″. When someone searches for availability during your black out period, they will be given a “0″ availability and will be unable to book during that time.
