Overview
Child Reduction or Child Prices can be defined as special offers on different products and amenities that allow for controlling the price based on pre-configured age ranges.
Important: This feature needs to be enabled by Nezasa. Please contact our support team to enable the feature flag available at the General Settings > Cockpit > Age Dependent Special Offers. Child reduction can only be added and applied to inventory products. Most supplier APIs do not support child prices. |

Steps to add child reduction to a product
- Go to Cockpit.
- Click on Inventory.
- Click on the menu Products.
- Click on the intended Product Type (for example, Accommodation - Own Inventory).
- Select the Product you want to add the child reduction to.
- Click on the three dots button at the top right of the screen and select the Checkout & Open action.
- Go to the tab Room Categories (for accommodation) or Service Categories (other products).
- Click on Add Special Offer:
- Add a Name for the offer.
- Set the special offer Type to Child Reductions.
Please note: A Child Reduction may have multiple Special Offers associated with it. It's important to have a clear naming that generally identifies a Child Reduction and specifically identifies each Special Offer we want to define. |
To define each Special Offer:
-
- Enter the Name of the special offer.
- Select the Age Range (min and max) years.
- Choose the Price Type from four possible values:
- Price (Absolute): allows to specify the exact price children will pay for their stay in the room.
- Price Change (Amount): increases/reduces the total price calculated for the service/room category.
- Price Change (Percentage): increases/reduces the total price calculated for the service/room category by applying a percentage discount based on the room rate for child guests.
- Price Change on Pax Rate (Percentage): increases/reduces the total price calculated for the service/room category by applying a percentage discount based on the assumed rate per passenger (PAX) for child guests.
Please note: A product can define a group/room price or a per PAX price. Depending on what's chosen, the discount may be defined in different ways.
|
-
- Define the Price (either as a value or percentage depending on the previous selection).
- Add further offers to be able to define different age ranges and prices.
- Click on Add Season:
- Enter the Start and End Date when the special offer is applicable.
- Add as many seasons as needed.
Finally, determine whether the defined child reductions Only apply to over-occupancy (exclusively).
This feature guarantees that the set-up rate only applies to children when the number of occupants exceeds the allotted limit. TripBuilder enforces a minimum occupancy prerequisite specifying the least number of adult rates charged per room.
Example: Consider the following configuration:
In this scenario, the room would only accommodate one additional occupant, permitting up to a maximum of 3 PAX in the room. Looking at the remaining conditions we have:
This implies that a room could be entirely booked with 2 adults and 1 child, totalling 3 PAX, but cannot accommodate 3 adults.
If the setup is altered to:
It would be possible to book a room for 1 adult and 2 children, still maintaining a total of 3 PAX. Nevertheless, 2 adults and 2 children would not be permissible, as the total PAX would exceed the room's maximum occupancy. |
The choice to exclusively apply this to over-occupancy circumstances is available only when the Pricing Type is adjusted to Occupancy-based , this is Price per Room.
- Click Save.
The child reduction is automatically applied to products in the front end. If a product is added to an itinerary that includes a child and the age range matches a child reduction special offer, the total price for the itinerary is automatically updated.
