Creating and Using Check-in Check-out Profiles
Similar to PriceLabs Minimum Stay Profiles, Check-In/Check-Out Profiles help you apply CICO settings by season and across your portfolio.
With this feature, you can now create and save different Check-In/Check-Out settings and apply them to your listings, groups, accounts, or seasons with much ease.

Before You Start
- Check-In/Check-Out restrictions are available only for limited Channels and Property Management Systems.
- Check out our table at the end of this article to see if we push this restriction for your PMS.
- If your PMS is not mentioned in the table, you will need to set this restriction directly in your PMS or booking channels.
How to create Check-in Check-out Profiles?
- Navigate to Dynamic Pricing → Customizations.
- Go to the Profiles tab
- Under Check-in Check-out Profiles, click Create Profile.

- Once done, click Save Profile.
Creating Check-in Check-out Profiles from Custom Seasonal Profile
You can create Check-in Check-out Profiles when creating a Custom Seasonal Profile:
- On the Pricing Dashboard, click Review Prices on the desired listing, then click Edit under Customizations.
- Under the All Customizations tab, click Custom Seasonal Profile.
- Enable the toggle for Custom Seasonal Profile and click Edit Profile.
- Click on Add Seasonal Profile, then under Check-in Check-out Profiles, click on Create Profile.
- Make your changes and click Save Changes.
Applying Check-in Check-out Profiles
You can apply Check-in Check-out Profiles to Listings, Groups, or Accounts:
- On the Pricing Dashboard, click Review Prices on the desired listing, then click Edit under Customizations.
- Under Stay Restrictions, and click on Check-in Check-out then enable the toggle
- Select the corresponding Check-in Check-out Profile
- Click "Save Changes"
Check-in Check-out for Seasonal Profiles
There are markets where depending on the season, you might want to have different Check-in Check-out settings. This can be achieved by applying Check-in Check-out Profiles to your Seasonal Profiles. If you leave any season with "None" as the Check-in Check-out profile, the corresponding listing/group/account level Check-in Check-out settings will be applied.
- On the Pricing Dashboard, click Review Prices on the desired listing, then click Edit under Customizations.
- Under the All Customizations, click Custom Seasonal Profile tab, enable the toggle
- Click "Edit Profile" then choose your CSP type between Percentage or Fixed
- Click the three dots near "Add Season Profile" button and tick the box for the "Add Check-in Check-out Profile" option
- Set your preferred name, date range and then select the corresponding Check-in Check-out Profile
When Check-in Check-out profiles are applied to seasonal profiles, account, group and listing-level Check-in Check-out settings are ignored. Also, Check-in Check-out settings are all or nothing, this means that rules from different levels/profiles can't apply together (i.e., you can't have some CICO customizations from the CICO profile and some from group level). A full description of the hierarchy is available here.
Archiving Check-in Check-out Profiles
While deleting Check-in Check-out Profiles is currently not possible, you can declutter your Check-in Check-out Profiles by archiving the ones you no longer use.
To archive a Check-in Check-out profile:
- Navigate to Dynamic Pricing → Customizations.
- Go to the Profiles tab → Check-in Check-out Profiles.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the profile and select Archive.
To unarchive a Check-in Check-out profile:
- Navigate to Dynamic Pricing → Customizations.
- Go to the Profiles tab → Check-in Check-out Profiles.
- Click Show Archived.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the archived profile and select Unarchive.
Note: Check-in Check-out Profile can be archived even if they're applied/active somewhere. Active Check-in Check-out Profile, when archived, will continue to take effect, and there will be no change in the Check-in Check-out settings where it is applied. Archiving Check-in Check-out Profiles basically hides the profile from the Check-in Check-out profile tab.
