It's easier to update rates when derived, but if you have two groups of derived rates (one for OTAs and another for the booking engine), you can change the prices and restrictions in one group without changing the others. This way, you can manage different conditions and prices depending on the season.

Click on +New Rate from your chosen Category.

Select the currency or percentage for the amount you will add to the base rate.

Enter the amount you are going to add to the base rate. 

Please indicate whether you would like to receive a prepayment for the booking and specify the amount in percentage.

Once you click save, you will see that the light grey rate is derived from the rate in bold, showing that 1 Guest, including Breakfast, is added to one guest room only. 

You can also create separate rates for your booking channels and derive non-refundable rates. 

**Tip!** Under your Categories tab, you can have an overview of your derived rates.

Derived rates modify an existing rate or the base rate. For example, breakfast included would cost an additional amount to the existing rate. Since you can only add an amount onto an existing rate, it’s good to keep in mind when creating your base rate for it to be the lowest rate you offer, for example, one guest room only.
