Pricing and GST
Understanding how Atlas builds the total a guest pays — and how GST and invoices are handled — helps you price with confidence before your first booking arrives.
How the guest total is built
Section titled “How the guest total is built”Base price = nightly rate × number of nights+ GST = 5% or 18% of the tariff (see slabs below)+ Convenience fee = optional, if you choose to pass on gateway charges─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Guest total = base price + GST (+ convenience fee)- Base price is your nightly rate multiplied by the number of nights. It is linear — there is no automatic length-of-stay discount unless you set one.
- GST is added on top of your tariff (your nightly rate is exclusive of GST) and shown as a separate line on the guest’s invoice.
- Convenience fee is optional. You can configure a convenience fee in your pricing settings to offset payment-gateway charges; if set, it is shown to the guest.
GST slabs
Section titled “GST slabs”Atlas applies GST for accommodation under SAC 9963:
| Nightly tariff | GST rate |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹7,500 per night | 5% |
| Above ₹7,500 per night | 18% |
GST is split as CGST + SGST when the guest’s place of supply is in your state, and charged as IGST when it is in a different state.
GST is only added when your business is GST-registered and you have entered your GSTIN. For bookings that come through an OTA where you are below the GST-registration threshold, the OTA is responsible for GST under Section 9(5) — not you.
Setting your nightly rate
Section titled “Setting your nightly rate”In Rooms & prices, set your base nightly rate in ₹. You can also configure:
- A weekend rate or weekend uplift percentage
- Bulk rate overrides for a date range (from the Calendar)
- Seasonal pricing rules and festival presets
- Long-stay discounts (weekly / monthly) per listing
Setting up GST for your property
Section titled “Setting up GST for your property”- Open your host profile in Settings.
- Enter your GSTIN (validated for the correct format) and your Place of Supply state.
- Optionally add your legal name and an invoice logo, header, and footer.
Once your GSTIN is saved, guest invoices automatically include the correct GST breakdown. If you are not GST-registered, leave the GSTIN blank — no GST line is added.
Invoices
Section titled “Invoices”Atlas generates a GST-compliant invoice for each booking automatically. Invoices are numbered per financial year in the format ATL/2026-27/00042, sequential and gapless. Credit notes use ATL/CN/2026-27/00001. You can view and download invoices under GST Invoices.
What you earn per booking
Section titled “What you earn per booking”Your earnings are the base price, less your own costs:
- GST is collected from the guest and remitted to the government — it is not your earning.
- Payment-gateway charges apply to whatever Razorpay processes. If you set a convenience fee, it helps offset this; otherwise it comes out of your receipts. Exact charges depend on your Razorpay plan.
When the money actually reaches your bank, and the conditions for release, are covered in Payments and Payouts.
Pricing for multiple nights
Section titled “Pricing for multiple nights”Atlas multiplies your nightly rate by the number of nights. There is no automatic length-of-stay discount unless you have configured weekly or monthly discounts on the listing. Weekend and seasonal rules apply only if you set them.
Changing your rate after a booking is confirmed
Section titled “Changing your rate after a booking is confirmed”Editing your nightly rate affects future bookings only. A booking that is already confirmed keeps the price the guest agreed to at the time of booking.
Coming soon
Section titled “Coming soon”On the roadmap, not yet available:
- Built-in automatic dynamic pricing. Today you can connect your own PriceLabs account on the Premium plan, but Atlas does not set prices for you automatically.
