Describe the user story

As an AP I should be able to easily manage my inventory by logging-in with my wallet and making changes to dates and prices through a simple interface.

Describe the features

Here are the few features for this to be accomplished:

Rate Modifiers windingtree/stays#91

• Ability to categorize multiple room types (double, twin, suite) and associate a maximum occupancy for that room.
• Include the room rate excl. and incl. breakfast
• Providing a (discount) rule for min. stays (e.g. min. 7-nights stay (discount))
• Input extra charge for additional travellers (e.g. 2 or 3 travellers)

Calendar View (see the the screenshots to see how it looks like for Airbnb and Booking.com)

• The implementation of the rate modifiers should be connected to a simple calendar view to edit available and blocked days for each room type
• Mark days as sold-out and specify date range (#167 & windingtree/stays#89)

Airbnb Calendar View

Booking.com Calendar View

Additional context

As discussed during our Weekly Sync, @kostysh is doing research on rate modifiers and will include a proposal on this thread.

@kostysh wrote up a proposal - see it at https://www.notion.so/windingtree/Rate-modifiers-195f084953614c7db8b0973034a949b1 .

@mfw78 please provide input, if you have improved process in mind for the rate modifiers implementation. In context of the Videre protocol.

[mfw78]

Rate modifiers in the context of price determination are completely separate from Videre. Rate modifiers may have terms attached to them, in which case, the term needs to be conveyed in the BidLine response by the service provider's "server" instance.

Things such as rates, availability etc, in the quick-start are placed in the auctioneer() function within the server.ts.

So to summarise - pricing / availability etc is completely abstracted away, and essentially what is being discussed here is the basis of property management functions.

split into two stories 1 for lpms server 1 for web

[xdaluca]

this story is being split into 2:

• [x] ability to modify rates, create rules such as blocking certain days and add extra items such as breakfast on the lpms-server windingtree/lpms-server#26
• [ ] give the ability to the accommodation provider to modify rates, rules and add items in a simple interface on lpms-web windingtree/win-stays#49

[mfw78]

@lucarioams I've moved the milestone on this as we decided that lpms-cli will be used for BCN. lpms-web task is still being tracked.
