Intra-day Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments
Intra-day Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments is an extension of Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments. It allows properties to apply different premiums or discounts at different times of the day based on occupancy—specifically for today (Day 0) and tomorrow (Day 1).
This helps capture last-minute bookings and reduce unsold rooms.
Why it matters
- Many properties see demand change throughout the day. Guests may extend their stay earlier in the day, while later in the day properties often need to offer discounts to fill remaining rooms.
- When the same price adjustments (discounts or premiums) are applied across all these demand changes—and prices are updated only once a day—properties can’t react in time. This results in missed opportunities to apply premiums to bookings that come in earlier in the day or to offer timely last-minute discounts later in the evening.
- Intra-day Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments puts you in control. By applying different discounts or premiums at different times of the day for today and tomorrow, you can optimize every room night, capture last-minute demand, and unlock more revenue—especially in fast-moving, short booking-window markets.
Before You Start
- Please read about Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments first.
- Please note that this feature works based on the sync timings configured under Additional Syncs, and will be available if you have subscribed to one or two Additional Syncs. Each additional sync is priced at $1 per listing per month.
How to set it up
1. Enable Intra-day POBA
Go to Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments and enable “Enable Intra-Day Multi-Room Occupancy-Based Adjustments.” Once enabled:
- The booking window splits into Day 0 (today) and Day 1 (tomorrow) with sync time slots
- All other booking windows automatically start from Day 2 onwards
2. Review sync time slots
Intra-day pricing uses the same times configured in Sync Settings.
- Additional Sync subscribed → Shows 2 time slots (Scheduled Sync + 1 Additional Sync)
- Additional Syncs subscribed → Shows 3 time slots (Scheduled Sync + 2 Additional Syncs)
Important:
- Set these times carefully based on when your demand shifts and when you want prices to react to occupancy changes.
- Time slots are displayed from right to left, starting with the earliest time of the day
- If sync times are updated in Sync Settings, the time slots here update automatically
3. Configure price adjustments
- Using PriceLabs profiles: Discounts or premiums for Day 0 and Day 1 are auto-filled for each profile.
- Using Custom profiles: The Short Booking Window value is pre-filled by default. You can edit and save values based on your pricing strategy.
How it works
Once enabled, Intra-day Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments runs alongside your existing Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments.
- For Day 0 (today) and Day 1 (tomorrow), PriceLabs applies the configured intra-day premiums or discounts and syncs prices at the configured time slots.
- For Day 2 and beyond, your regular Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments continue to apply.
In short, Intra-day Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments takes priority for today and tomorrow, while existing Portfolio Occupancy-Based Adjustments governs the rest of the booking window.
