Understanding promotions
The Promotions API enables you to create and manage promotions. Promotions help properties offer discounted prices, with the discounts specified as a percentage of the parent rate.
Use the Promotions API to:
- Create a promotion.
- Update an existing promotion to change the promotion validity dates.
- Activate/deactivate a promotion.
- View promotion details.
Promotions in the extranet appear under the Promotions tab.
Promotions API endpoints
