TL;DR: Booking companies filter for listings that offer a monthly discount, and a discount you set on Airbnb does not come over in the Airbnb sync. Set your Monthly term discounts in your PMS or in Radius, so a 30+ day guest pays a monthly rate and not your nightly rate.
Who this is for: š Host
Overview
Every stay on Radius is 30 days or longer. The companies that book them often filter their search to hosts who offer a monthly discount. This is common in insurance housing. A listing with no discount can drop out of that search before anyone reads it.
Radius has five monthly term discounts: 1 month (29+ nights), 2 months (60+ nights), 3 months (90+ nights), 4 months (120+ nights), and 6 months (180+ nights). Each one is a percentage off your nightly rate, applied at checkout for stays of that length. A stay gets one discount: the longest tier it reaches that has a discount. Tiers do not add up. The 1-month tier is optional. If you leave it empty, stays under 60 nights pay your nightly rate.
The 2, 3, 4 and 6-month fields need a value before you can submit the listing for review. 0% is accepted. The 1-month field is optional. A listing with 0% in every tier offers no long-stay incentive, and the booking companies that filter by discount will not see it.
š Host: If your listing syncs from Airbnb, the monthly discount you set on Airbnb does not come over. The Airbnb connection brings your nightly rate and your calendar. It does not bring Airbnb's weekly or monthly discounts. Until you set the tiers yourself, a 30+ day stay on Radius is priced at your normal nightly rate, with no discount at all.
How it works ā step-by-step
1. Find where your discount lives today
If your PMS offers multi-month or length-of-stay discounts, set them there, so every channel stays in sync. If your PMS does not offer them, or you have not set them up, set them in Radius instead.
š Host: A discount that exists only on Airbnb counts as not set. Go to step 3.
2. Set the discounts in your PMS and sync
Set the multi-month discounts in your PMS. After your PMS syncs, open the listing in Radius and go to the pricing step. The Monthly term discounts fields should show the values from your PMS. If they are blank or 0%, your PMS is not passing them over. Set them in Radius as in step 3.
š” OwnerRez: a 29+ night discount fills the 1-month tier, and 60, 90, 120 and 180+ night discounts fill the longer tiers.
š” Hospitable: your Hospitable monthly discount does not fill a tier. Radius takes it off every nightly rate instead, because every Radius stay is a month or longer. Your 60+, 90+, 120+ and 180+ night discounts in Hospitable fill the 2, 3, 4 and 6-month tiers. See How pricing sync works.
3. Set the tiers in Radius
Open the listing in Radius and go to the pricing step. Under Monthly term discounts, enter a percentage for 2 months (60+ nights), 3 months (90+ nights), 4 months (120+ nights), and 6 months (180+ nights). Enter a value in all four, even if some are the same. To give stays of 29 to 59 nights a discount too, fill in 1 month (29+ nights). Save the listing.
š Host: Saving does not submit. If the listing is still a draft, click Submit for review after you save.

Common situations
You have a monthly discount on Airbnb, but Radius shows none
This is expected. The Airbnb connection does not carry Airbnb's length-of-stay discounts. Set the tiers in Radius, or in your PMS if it supports them.
Your PMS has no long-stay discount setting
Set the tiers in Radius. Your PMS keeps your nightly rate and your calendar. Radius applies the tier discount on top: from 29 nights if you set the 1-month tier, otherwise from 60 nights.
You set 0% in every tier so you could submit
The listing can be submitted. Our review flags a listing with 0% in every tier as offering no long-stay incentive, and the booking companies that filter by discount will not find it. Enter a discount in at least one tier and save.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to offer a discount?
No. The 2, 3, 4 and 6-month fields need a value, and 0% is accepted. The 1-month field is optional. We strongly recommend a discount in at least one tier, because booking companies filter for it.
Why does Airbnb's monthly discount not come over?
The Airbnb sync sends your nightly rate and your availability. Airbnb's weekly and monthly discounts are not part of that data, so Radius never receives them.
Which tier applies to a stay?
The highest tier the stay qualifies for. A 90-night stay gets the 3-month tier. A 200-night stay gets the 6-month tier.
I changed the tiers on a live listing. Do I need to resubmit?
No. Save the listing. Edits to a live listing do not take it offline.
