Rounding and Smoothing

Rounding and Smoothing

Rounding

Rounding ensures that your final prices always end in a number that looks cleaner or more marketable, such as ending in 0, 5, or 9.

Before You Start

  • The rounding adjustment is applied after all other price calculations.
  • However, rounding will still respect the Minimum and Maximum prices set for a listing.
  • If these options are not visible in your account, please check and enable it in the Control Panel.

Benefits of Rounding

  • Makes prices appear more appealing or uniform to guests 
  • Helps maintain psychological pricing (e.g., ending in 9 or 0)
  • Works well when pushing prices to your own website

Available Options

  • No Rounding
    This is used particularly if rounding is enabled at group or account level, you do not want it to be applied to this specific listings.

  • Number of Digits to Round
    Select how many digits you’d like to round in your prices. This determines the scale at which rounding is applied.
    Examples:

    • Last 1 digit → Prices like 150, 2581, or 575 become 150, 2580, or 570
    • Last 2 digits → Prices like 1500, 1304, or 10499 become 1500, 1300, or 10400
    • Last 5 digits → Higher-value listings like 100,000 or 520,000 round to 100,000 or 500,000

  • Preferred Ending Digits
    Choose the specific digits you want your prices to end with (based on your selected rounding level).
    Examples:

    • 4 or 9 → Final prices will end in either 4 or 9 (e.g., $179, $154)
    • 0 → Final prices will end in 0 (e.g., $150, $1200)

Steps

  1. On the Pricing Dashboard, click Review Prices on the desired listing, then click Edit under Customizations.
  2. Under the All Customizations tab, select Rounding.
  3. Turn on the toggle on and select your desired rounding preference.
  4. Click Save Changes.

Case Examples

  • Case 1: You select "4 or 9" as your rounding preference. If your nightly recommended price is $2823, the rounded price will be $2824.

  • Case 2: You choose to round the last two digits to -50 or -00. A price of $178 would become $180.

  • Case 3: You choose to round the last five digits. A price of $142,580 would be rounded to either $140,000 or $150,000 depending on your selection.

Additional Notes

  • If the final calculated price after rounding is lower than your minimum price, the minimum will take precedence.
  • Example: If rounding lowers the rate to $99 but your minimum price is $100, then $100 will be shown.

Smoothing

Smoothing allows you to even out price fluctuations across the week by averaging them, creating a more uniform guest experience while still staying dynamic.

Before You Start

  • Price smoothing works best when you have consistent stay patterns or longer minimum stays.
  • We do not recommend Smoothing for minimum stays of less than 7 nights. It is best to only be used for weekly and monthly rentals. Otherwise, can heavily skew recommended rates.
  • If these options are not visible in your account, please check and enable it in the Control Panel.

Benefits of Smoothing

  • Provides price consistency for listings published on your own website
  • Reduces guest confusion over fluctuating nightly rates
  • Helps with marketing fixed-rate stays (e.g., weekly rentals)

Available Options

  • No Smoothing 
    This is used particularly if smoothing is enabled at group or account level, you do not want it to be applied to this specific listings.

  • Smooth weekdays vs. weekends: Weekday (Sun–Thurs) and weekend (Fri–Sat) prices are averaged separately
  • Set week start: Choose if your week starts on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday

Steps

  1. On the Pricing Dashboard, click Review Prices on the desired listing, then click Edit under Customizations.
  2. Under the All Customizations tab, select Smoothing.
  3. Turn on the toggle on and select your desired rounding preference.
  4. Click Save Changes.

Case Examples

  • Case 1: You choose to smooth prices across all seven days, starting every Friday. The system calculates the average of your weekly dynamic rates and applies the same rate to each day.
    💡 Best for: 7-night minimum stays or when prices are published on external websites.

  • Case 2: You select the "Sunday to Thursday and Friday to Saturday" option. The system averages prices separately for weekdays and weekends, applying the same price to each group.
    💡 Best for: Shorter stays where you still want weekends priced higher.
