Pricing & rates

Pricing is the engine room of every booking site. So we rebuilt Solidres’ most important pricing tool — the Complex Tariff editor — completely from scratch. Say hello to the new Rate Plan plugin: same powerful rates, a faster and far friendlier editor — arriving with the upcoming Solidres 4.1.0 release.

Since Complex Tariff v1.1.0, asset owners are now able to specify minimum and maximum length of stay per day in their complex tariff settings.  Setting length of stay requirement per day is more flexible than per tariff, in the current version you can set it for type “Rate per room per day” and mod “Day”.

This new feature was added in Complex Tariff 1.8.0 for rate plan type “Per person per stay”, there is a new setting “Pricing type” with 2 values: Fixed and Percent. When activated, the adult 1’s price will be set as BASE price, and other adults and children’s prices will be the percent of the BASE price. The percent pricing feature could help maintaining rate plan easier and faster for specific businesses.

One of the new features in the upcoming Complex Tariff plugin v1.5.0 is the ability to set Min/Max quantity, as can be seen in the screenshot below:

With this new feature, it is now possible to create a special rate plan for those who book from X to Y rooms. Having a flexible pricing structure is a great way to attract more guests, and our Complex Tariff plugin is your solution.

We are working on a new feature in Complex Tariff plugin 1.3.0 which allows owner to reorder tariffs in back end using drag & drop, then the new order will be applied when showing tariffs in front end. It is helpful when you want to highlight specific tariffs to your potential guests.

Four Solidres add-ons have new releases: Hub 2.2.0, Experience 2.1.0, Feedback 2.1.0 and Rate Plan 1.1.1. The biggest change is how three of them install: Hub, Experience and Feedback now each come as one Joomla package. There is also a new Hub module, partner sign-up for new visitors, tour booking in every language and a long list of fixes. All four need Solidres 4.3.0.

It’s official: Solidres 4.1.0 has landed. Over the last few weeks we previewed the three tools we’d been rebuilding from the ground up — and they’re all here now. Rate Plan, Front Desk and Dashboard cover the three things you do most: set your prices, run your day, and check how the business is doing.

Each one replaces an ageing, end-of-life foundation with modern, framework-free code that’s faster, dark-mode ready, and accessible to WCAG 2.1 AA. Here’s the short version.

We are happy to announce the first major release in 2024: Solidres for Joomla 3.1.0 BETA. This release introduces several new features, especially for enhancing the rate plan functionality with Complex Tariff plugin, detailed change log can be found below. Please note that this is a BETA release, it should be used for testing purpose only, do not use it in your product sites.
