You DO NOT need to access this information unless you think you are missing something or have deleted information from your PMS.

IMPORTANT REMINDER. Since getawayGoGo is a direct marketplace all communication and payments are between you and the Traveler.

Important note about displayed pricing, strike out pricing and discount badges for new properties on getawayGoGo.

Q: How does displayed strike out pricing work? I see other listings with discount badges and strike out pricing and would like to know how I can create special pricing or discounts for my properties on getawayGoGo?

A: All pricing is directly sourced from your PMS, whether you manage pricing manually or through a dynamic pricing engine. Displayed pricing (current large print price) is based on what the pricing is for nights currently available. Strike out pricing is based on the highest pricing for current available nights over the last 60 days. Since a property’s pricing data is new to getawayGoGo it does not know what the highest pricing was for these nights over the last 60 days. As we accumulate pricing data for the next 60 days getawayGoGo will be able to automatically compare your old pricing for the same days with new pricing. We are not able to look backwards to see what the pricing was over the last 60 days to compare.

Regarding changing pricing directly on getawayGoGo. It is one of our values to keep property management simple with all data entry done exclusively in the PMS. Any changes in price you make on the PMS will be reflected on getawayGoGo.
