[🗓 Availability & Restrictions](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#availability-restrictions) # Stop Sell Restriction ## The Stop Sell tool helps you manage your availability efficiently by blocking certain rate plans for specific dates — or entirely. You can apply it to a single date, an entire rate, or use the Bulk Update option in your calendar to make changes faster.   ### 💡 What is Stop Sell? **Stop Sell** is a restriction that allows you to **stop selling** specific rate plans for selected dates or for all future dates. **Example:** - You may want to stop offering your *Standard Rate* for private rooms on a busy weekend, leaving only the *Non-Refundable Rate* available. - Or, you might choose to permanently stop selling the *Standard Rate* and offer only the *Non-Refundable Rate* for that room type. This feature gives you more control over what guests can book and when. --- #### ⚙️ **How to use Stop Sell in Hostelworld Inbox** Here is a short video to help you better understand how to use Hostelworld Stop Sell: ![](https://play.vidyard.com/wPkFayUSb5ajpRpaQX5Fgp.jpg)   #### You can activate Stop Sell in your **Hostelworld Inbox** calendar in three ways: --- #### 🗓️ 1.

Click **Update** to save your changes --- ### ⚠️ Important note for Channel Manager users If your property uses a **Channel Manager** that supports **Stop Sell functionality**, you **must apply Stop Sell through your Channel Manager**. Any Stop Sell changes made directly in **Hostelworld Inbox** may be **overwritten** by your Channel Manager’s updates — even if the Inbox temporarily allows you to make the change. To keep your availability accurate and avoid conflicts between systems, always manage your **Stop Sell restrictions directly through your Channel Manager**. --- ### ✅ Tip for efficiency - Use **Bulk Update** if you want to apply Stop Sell across **multiple dates or rooms** — it’s the fastest way to manage larger updates. - Always double-check your calendar after applying changes to ensure availability is displayed correctly. --- ### 💬 Need help? If you have any questions about using **Stop Sell** or managing your availability, your **Hostelworld representative** or the **Support Team** will be happy to help you.
