Price Types

Price Types allow for the definition of different levels of pricing attached to Products. Default Price Types exist for the following:

Frontdesk provides the flexibility to specify additional Price Types other than the defaults, e.g. a new price type called "Rep" could be added to allow for a local travel agent (set up as an online Frontdesk Rep) to receive a 15% discount on the standard Internet price for products. Or, a new price type could be created for an Offline Agent to increase your standard Internet prices by 10% to cover commission that could be charged by the Agent.
