# 3.1.1 Set Your Rates Manually

Set and adjust your property rates directly in Zeevou. Use the Rates & Availability Calendar for quick changes to individual dates, or Calendar Toolbox for more detailed rate setup across date ranges.

Now that you've reviewed how the Calendar works, the next step is to set your rates.

**Important:** If your rate plans are connected to booking channels, changes you make in Zeevou may be sent to those channels. Before saving, make sure you're updating the correct rate plans.

### **Do You Need to Set Rates Manually?**

**Yes** — if you want to control your rates yourself in Zeevou.

**No** — if you intend to use a Dynamic Pricing Provider to automatically adjust your rates. In that case, continue with [Enable Dynamic Pricing](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/715-enable-dynamic-pricing.md).

Watch this video tutorial to learn how to set your rates in Zeevou:

## Understand Your Base Rate

When you create a Unit Type, its rate plans automatically provide the starting prices used for your accommodation based on the Default Rate.

You can then customise your rates for specific dates or date ranges. When you set a rate for specific dates, that rate can override the rate previously applied to those dates.

If you change a rate-plan price later, Zeevou may ask whether you want to apply the change to existing rates or keep the rates already set for those dates.

Editing the Default Rate will not change the rates for any specific dates for which you have set manual overridden rates.

## Choose How to Set Your Rates

There are two ways to set or adjust rates:

-   **Rates & Availability Calendar:** Best for quick changes to one or a few dates.
    
-   **Calendar Toolbox:** Best for creating rates across a date range or applying different prices and restrictions by day of the week or month.

## Method 1: Rates & Availability Calendar (Quick Edits)

Use the **Rates & Availability Calendar** when you want to update a rate or stay restriction for one or a small number of dates.

1.  Go to **Calendar** → **Rates & Availability Calendar**.
    
2.  Select the date or date range you want to update.
    
3.  Enter the new **Price**, **Min Stay**, or **Max Stay**.
    
4.  Click **Save**.
    

You can select dates in either of these ways:

### Select Dates by Dragging

1.  Drag across your preferred dates on the pricing row.
    
2.  A pop-up will appear.
    
3.  Enter the new **Price**, **Min Stay**, and **Max Stay**.
    
4.  Click **Save**.

### Edit a Single Date

1.  Double-click the date you want to update on a specific cell.
    
2.  A pop-up will appear.
    
3.  Enter the new **Price**, **Min Stay**, and **Max Stay**.
    
4.  Click **Save**.
    

### Overriding Rates

When you set a new rate for specific dates, it can override the rate previously applied to those dates.

## Method 2: Create Rates with Calendar Toolbox

Use **Calendar Toolbox** when you want to create or update rates across a longer date range or apply different prices and restrictions based on the day of the week or month.

### Create a Rate

1.  Go to **Calendar** → **Rates & Availability Calendar**.
    
2.  In the top-right corner, open **Calendar Toolbox**.
    
3.  Select **Create a Rate**.

4.  Choose the rate type: **Nightly**, **Weekly**, or **Monthly**.
    

You'll then be taken through two configuration steps:

### **Step 1: Set Your Rate Details**

Select a time period:

1.  Click the **Time Period** field.
    
2.  Select the dates you want the rate to apply to.

**Choose How to Set the Rate**

Depending on the rate type you've selected, you can configure your rates in different ways:

**Option A: Fixed Rate**

Apply the same rate for the entire selected period (not available for Weekly Rates).

-   **Price:** Enter the nightly rate.
    
-   **Extra Guest Price per Night:** Set additional charges for extra guests (optional).
    
-   **Min Stay:** Set minimum stay requirement.
    
-   **Max Stay:** Set maximum stay limit.
    

**Set Restrictions** **(optional):**

-   **Override Stop Check-Ins:** Guests cannot check in on selected days.
    
-   **Override Stop Check-Outs:** Guests cannot check out on selected days.
    
-   **Override Stop Sell:** Guests cannot book on selected days.
    

**Option B: Day of the Week / Month of the Year**

Set specific rates for different days or months (not available for Weekly Rates).

For each row, you can configure:

-   **Price**
    
-   **Extra Guest Price**
    
-   **Min Stay**
    
-   **Max Stay**
    
-   **Relevant booking restrictions**

> **Note:** When you fill in the first row, the data will automatically be copied to the rest of the rows. You can manually change the data in each row if needed.

### Step 2: Apply the Rate

Choose which **Rate Plans** should receive the new rates.

1.  Select the relevant **Nightly, Weekly, or Monthly Rate Plans**.
    
2.  Expand the sections to check that you're applying the changes to the correct rate plans.
    
3.  Review your settings.

Your new rates will appear in the **Rates & Availability Calendar**.
