What is Instant Arrival
The Instant arrival functionality is meant to cover situations, where you have a last-minute reservation or a walk-in guest.
Benefits of Instant Arrival:
Using Instant arrival enables you:
- to book a reservation for the "currently running" night (time slice), instead of having to add the reservation for the upcoming night and
- to apply the rate of the previous business day, without having to manually adjust the price to "the one of yesterday".
Theory to Action
A) Multi-night booking:
- Add a booking for the current date (Dec 14 from our example).
- Before selecting the rate plan, activate the Instant arrival toggle:

- Check in the reservation (in the desired room if applicable).
- Apaleo will apply the rate of the previous business day.
B) One-night Booking:
