Need to allow weekly discount to be per channel
I recently switched from a different PMS and keep running in to issues that are impacting my setup. We have always provided a 5% weekly discount on Airbnb, but we provide a 10% discount on VRBO, due to their algorithm and how they will show up on their platform. VRBO basically ignores anything less than a 10% weekly discount in their algorithm and how they flag the listing for having discounts. So in order to help with bookings on VRBO and in the rankings on VRBO I set that discount to 10%,
The problem is, I do not want any of my other channels to have a weekly discount that high. The rest should be at 5%
Under the Price and fees section under the listing it shows a field called Default for the Weekly discount, then it shows the weekly discount for each channel. When you have a default field, it means that there can be other options, other than the "default". However I just learned via a support ticket that there is no option for me to change the weekly discount per channel. They have to all be the same. This "Default" field simply sets the discount across the board and there are no options to have different discounts per channel. This takes away functionality from hosts.
I really need for this to be updated as I do not want to provide the same discounts across all my channels. In order for me to achieve what I want to do with VRBO, I am now forced to increase my discount levels across all my channels, thereby giving up more income on those channels that I do not need to give up.
Can you please make an update to fix this issue?

Yes please, and would really be better to have per season as well. Even if Hostaway can't implement it for the portals, for our own website it shouldn't be a big ask.
