Customizations That Can Override Minimum Price

Date-Specific Overrides (DSO)

• PriceLabs allows you to create Date-Specific Overrides (DSO) to set custom prices for specific dates or date ranges.
  
• Only a Fixed DSO can override the Minimum Price since you are entering a manually set price.
  
  
• When applying a Fixed DSO, other pricing adjustments will no longer apply to that date.
  
• If you attempt to set a Fixed DSO below the Minimum Price, you will see a warning message. Simply click "Update" to proceed.
  
  
• Example:
  
• If a listing has a Minimum Price of $2,000, but a Fixed DSO of $1,800 is set for a specific date, the override takes effect, and the price will drop to $1,800 instead of maintaining the minimum rate.
  
  

Custom Seasonal Profiles

• Custom Seasonal Profiles allows you to define seasonal Minimum, Base, and Maximum Prices for specific time periods throughout the year.
  
• If a Custom Seasonal Profile is active, it overrides the standard Minimum, Base, and Maximum Prices for that duration.
  
• Example:
  
• If you create a Custom Seasonal Profile that sets a Minimum Price of $1,100 from October 1 to October 31, then $1,100 will be the enforced minimum for that entire period—not the listing’s default Minimum Price.
  
  
• Note:
  
• If the Base and Maximum Prices are left blank in a Custom Seasonal Profile, PriceLabs will continue using the listing’s standard rates.
  
  

Fixed Last-Minute Prices

• Only Fixed Last-Minute Prices can override the Minimum Price.
  
  
• If you apply a % Flat or % Gradual Last-Minute Discount, it will still respect the Minimum Price.
  
• Example:
  
• If a listing’s Minimum Price is $1,100, but you set a Fixed Last-Minute Price of $800, the system will use $800 as the final price instead of the minimum threshold.
  
  

Pricing Offsets

• The Pricing Offset customization allows you to set a Fixed or Percentage-based discount/premium on top of your listing’s recommended price.
  
• Since this customization directly modifies the final price, it can reduce the listing price below the Minimum Price.
  
• Example:
  
• If a listing’s Minimum Price is $2600, but a Pricing Offset lowers it to $2,340, the system will apply the adjusted lower price.
  
  

Weekly & Monthly Discounts

• Weekly and Monthly Discounts are designed to encourage longer stays by providing a price reduction for bookings of a full week (7+ days) or a full month (30+ days).
  
• These discounts are applied after PriceLabs' pricing recommendations are sent to the connected platform.
  
• Example:
  
• If a host applies a 20% Monthly Discount, PriceLabs will continue sending daily rates as usual. However, if a guest books for 30 days or more, the system will apply a 20% discount to the total booking cost.
  
• Warning:
  
• Because Weekly and Monthly Discounts are applied on top of PriceLabs' recommended rates, the average daily rate for long-term stays may drop below the set Minimum Price.
