- In Maximum/Single occupancy price model you specify a default price for when the maximum number of adult guests stay in the room and a price for when a single adult guest stays in the room.
- In Derived pricing model, you specify a price for a standard number of occupants, and one or more "offsets" to derive prices for other numbers of occupants. When the number of occupants is different than the standard number, we add or subtract the offset from the standard price. An offset can be a percentage or an amount. These offsets are defined at Rates/Availability → Price per guest.

Make sure you have connected all available rooms from channel otherwise it will result in an error from channel. Also, be careful not to select a room type twice as it will result in an error from the channel. Please double-check!
