Products and Pricing

A product is the sellable item on your listing. It connects a unit type to pricing and booking policies. When a guest books your "Deluxe Room, Overnight Stay" for PHP 3,500/night, that is a product.

Booking Types

Products support different booking types depending on how your property operates:

• Overnight stay. Nightly bookings for hotels, resorts, transient houses, and Airbnb-style stays
• Day tour. Daytime-only access, common for resorts and pool venues
• Monthly lease. For apartments, condos, boarding houses, and long-term rentals
• Event booking. For function halls, venues, and event spaces
• HOA assessment. For subdivision and community association dues

Your property's transaction type determines which booking types are available. A short-term rental property can create overnight and day tour products. A long-term lease property creates monthly lease products.

How Base Pricing Works

Every product has three pricing components that work together:

• Base rate. The starting price for the room (e.g., PHP 2,500/night)
• Base occupancy. How many guests the base rate covers (e.g., 2 adults)
• Extra person fee. The additional charge per guest beyond base occupancy (e.g., PHP 500/person/night)

Here is a real example. You have a Family Room priced at PHP 3,000/night with a base occupancy of 2 adults and an extra person fee of PHP 500. A couple pays PHP 3,000. A family of 4 adults pays PHP 3,000 + (2 extra x PHP 500) = PHP 4,000.

This setup lets you price competitively for smaller groups while still earning more when larger groups book.

Weekend and Holiday Rates

Pricing rules let you charge different rates for specific days:

• Weekend rates. Set a higher rate for Friday and Saturday nights (or whatever days you consider "weekend"). A resort in Batangas might charge PHP 2,500 on weekdays and PHP 3,500 on weekends.
• Holiday rates. Set special pricing for holidays and peak season dates. Holy Week, Christmas, New Year, and local fiestas are the big ones in the Philippines.

Pricing rules override the base rate for matching dates. If a guest books Thursday to Sunday, they pay the weekday rate for Thursday and the weekend rate for Friday and Saturday.

Cancellation Policies

Each product has a cancellation policy that determines refund rules:

• Flexible. Full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before check-in. Best for attracting more bookings.
• Moderate. Full refund if cancelled at least 5 days before check-in. Good balance between flexibility and protection.
• Strict. Full refund if cancelled at least 7 days before check-in. 50% refund after that. Best for high-demand properties and peak season.

Choose based on your no-show risk. A transient house in a tourist area during peak season can use Strict because demand is high. An apartment in the city during off-season might want Flexible to encourage bookings.

Add-On Products

Add-ons are extra items or services guests can purchase with their booking. They increase your revenue per booking without requiring more rooms.

Common add-ons for Filipino properties:

• Extra mattress: PHP 300-500/night (great for families with kids)
• Breakfast: PHP 250-400/person (if you have a kitchen or nearby carenderia partner)
• Airport/port transfer: PHP 500-2,000 (common for resort areas in Palawan, Siargao, Boracay)
• Parking: PHP 200-500/night (especially in city properties)
• Late checkout: PHP 500-1,000 (easy money, especially on weekdays when the room is not booked next)
• Kayak or equipment rental: PHP 300-800/day (for beach resorts)

The "You Will Receive" Calculator

When you set your product pricing, Tuluyan shows a "You will receive" breakdown. This tells you exactly how much you keep after platform fees and payment processing fees are deducted.

For example, if you price a room at PHP 3,000/night:

• Platform fee is deducted
• Payment processing fee (for GCash, card, or bank transfer) is deducted
• The remaining amount is what you receive

This helps you price accurately. If you want to take home PHP 3,000, you might need to set your rate slightly higher to cover fees. The calculator updates in real time as you adjust your base rate.

How the Property Setup Wizard Handles Pricing

The wizard creates your main product automatically based on the unit type and booking type you selected. It sets up the base rate, occupancy, and extra person fee in one step. If you add add-ons during the wizard, those become separate add-on products linked to the same unit type.

After the wizard completes, you can fine-tune everything: adjust rates, add weekend pricing, change cancellation policies, or create additional products from the property dashboard.
