Close / open room type and rate plan.
In Stayflexi, Closing or Opening room types and rate plans refer to controlling the availability of specific rooms and pricing options for bookings.
Close Room Type: When a room type is closed, it becomes unavailable for booking. Even if rooms of that type exist, they won’t appear as options for guests to book.
Close Rate Plan: Closing a rate plan means that the pricing or promotional offer attached to that rate plan is no longer available for booking. Guests won’t see or be able to select that specific rate plan.
Open Room Type: When a room type is opened, it becomes available again for bookings. Guests will see the room types as an option when making reservations.
Open Rate Plan: means making a specific pricing structure or offer available for bookings again, allowing guests to see and book rooms at those rates.
