Escapia’s Rates Manager is a modern tool focused on saving you time and making more money—all within Escapia at no additional cost. Design rate strategies that align best for your property management business, owners, properties, and market conditions. Accurately and strategically set future rates in minutes!

• Escapia’s Rates Manager gives you the flexibility to set pricing conditions based on specific days of the week, holidays, vacancy gaps, and more.
• Escapia’s Seasons feature provides an easy way to set bulk rates. You can create a base rate plan for one season, and quickly copy and adjust for different unit sets or time periods.
• Quickly increase or decrease rates by a percentage or dollar amount to easily update rates on the fly and adjust for periods of high or low demand.
• Length of stay adjustments give you flexibility to entice travelers to stay for your ideal length of time while not limiting search results. You can automatically apply a discount or premium for travelers who stay a specified number of nights.
• Flat rate adjustments allow you to modify rate adjustments by a flat dollar amount per night or for the full stay to give you more control for length of stay and booking window rates.
• Booking Window Adjustments allow you to automate discounts or premiums based on booking window with time-based custom adjustments that can help you meet demand (and willingness to pay) for early bookers or last-minute guests.

In addition to flexibility, Escapia’s Rates Manager helps you set pricing more efficiently with tools for bulk pricing and functionality that makes it easier to make changes on the fly. You can be more proactive with rates with fewer clicks!

• With Click and drag to set rates functionality, you can simultaneously select the units and dates to populate the rate change screen much faster to immediately update the nightly rates, quickly update minimum night stays, or change check-in/checkout days.
• Unit Code Search and Unit Name Search help you quickly find, filter, and select units when creating or editing new Seasons, Rate Adjustments, and Rate Export. Plus, if an owner calls you with a rate question, you can find their property and have an answer in seconds!
• You can edit multiple date ranges at once by selecting up to 10 different date ranges to customize rates and minimum night stay settings. This feature also allows you to select specific days of the week so you can define your own weekends with customer rates and minimum night stays, or quickly set different rates for each night of the week.

With the Reservation Overlay in Escapia’s Rates Manager you can view all confirmed bookings at a glance so you can see where you may need to adapt rates and to also help you reply to customer inquiries quicker.

Reservation Overlay works alongside unit filters to easily see availability for a group of properties. And the quick search functionality allows you to view bookings for a specific unit. To get more information on the booking you can simply right click, and the reservation details page pops up with the booked rates, folio information, and more—all from within the Rates Manager!

This functionality allows you to optimize occupancy by quickly viewing confirmed bookings, review any gaps between bookings, and keep an eye on occupancy for upcoming seasons. It also allows you to better serve guests and reply to requests for late checkout and extended stays—with less clicks and less headaches.

We understand that vacation rental property manager professionals need robust tools to fully support their team and provide the best service to your owners, so we’ve rolled out extra features designed for professionals.

• The Rates Audit Log allows you to view and track changes within your Escapia account to give you more operational efficiency and oversight.
• You can easily export current rates with the Export Rates feature, enabling you to quickly share rates with owners, retain historical records, and analyze rates data in external applications like Excel and Google Sheets.
• The Limit Advanced Bookings feature allows you to set maximum lead time for bookings by number of days so you can reserve bookings for repeat guests or owners and lower the risk of setting future rates with unpredictable demand.
• Easily verify and edit active filters with the Active Filter Visual so you can easily keep track of which filters are actively applying to your rates grid and edit to suit your needs.

These features are designed to give you and your team more operational oversight to master the rate setting process.

To help drive more direct bookings, Escapia’s Rates Manager allows you to easily create targeted promotions with Coupon Codes. Whether your goal is to attract and retain travelers with enticing offers or increase occupancy and revenue, Coupon Codes allow you to offer promotional pricing without devaluing the perception of your properties with mass discounts. Guests can book these exclusive rates directly on your API-supported website or by contacting a reservation agent.

Coupon Codes allow you to offer discounts as a percent or flat dollar amount. You can also specify whether to attribute the discount per night or apply the discount rate to the entire stay. Both options give you control over your discount strategy without limiting bookings or coupon usage.

This functionality provides flexible options for when you want to offer an anytime/anywhere discount to all members of an association or affinity group, as well as more restrictive offerings, such as Black Friday deals, which must be booked during a specific time period.
