Introducing a sub-rule specifically for both Minimum Prices and Minimum Stays.
By default, Wheelhouse provides the option to set a default value for both Minimum Prices and Minimum Stays. However, those defaults can still be overridden by other sub-rules, such as weekly, monthly, or time-based rules, as well as custom rules like Fixed Rates.
The Absolute Minimums add an extra layer of protection against any accidental or intentional changes to your Minimum Prices and Minimum Stays.
With this rule, you have a floor price limit that will be enforced no matter what other rules you apply. The only way to change that value is by editing it directly in the Absolute Minimum section.
Create Absolute Minimums
There are two options for creating this rule: either at the listing level or at the portfolio level.
The Listing Level
To create a listing-level Absolute Minimum, go to the individual listing’s page and navigate to the Settings tab. Under either the Minimum Prices or Minimum Stays section, you’ll find the Absolute Minimums at the bottom of those settings.
The Portfolio Level
You can create this rule from the Portfolio Settings page.
Select one or more listings.
Choose either Minimum Prices or Minimum Stays.
Scroll down to the bottom of the section until you see the Absolute Minimum.
Enter your value, then scroll back up to save your change by clicking Replace All (if you selected only one listing) or Add New (if you selected multiple listings).
Visibility from Your Calendar
Once you’ve set up the rule and a price or stay requirement reaches the Absolute Minimum, you’ll see a brick icon indicating that the floor limit has been reached for that date.
Why is this optional, yet important?
Knowing you have a safety limit in place, you can create better workflows and adjust your pricing with confidence, knowing it will never go below a certain threshold.
It’s more than just a rule—it gives you stronger protection against accidental changes, helps maintain good relationships with your owners and regulations, and safeguards your revenue from unwanted booking criteria.
