Setting up a custom promotion on Airbnb - Important information

Updated on

You can set up custom promotions on Airbnb rather than sending a discount from SuperControl.  The difference is that this promotion will show as a discount when a user views dates whereas when a discount is sent from SuperControl, it simply discounts the price pre-export and isn't broken down for the user.

Important: Custom Promotions do not use the price sent from SuperControl, they instead use a "60 day median price" which is an average of your daily rate across that period.  If your prices fluctuate, then you should not use Custom Promotions as a much lower price than usual can be offered.

Example calculation:

You create a custom promotion for June 1

  • Today, your price for June 1 is £100
  • Your 60-day median price for June 1 is £75
  • If you create a promotion for June 1, the discount will be calculated off of £75
