Airbnb sellers can charge a fixed fee directly by setting minimum stay lengths or by charging different nightly rates based on the length of stay (e.g., weekly and monthly stay discounts).

Former isn't the same thing and is in fact less efficient. Is latter actually possible on the platform?

Edit: At most latter is possible with complex rule sets. But I'm really not sure: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2061

What if I just want to stay 3 days and I’m willing to pay the fixed fee anyway?

What I do see is some booking automation that will dynamically set minimum stay lengths to avoid filling, say, a 3 day gap with a 1 or 2 day booking if it’s far enough out and set minimum stays to the duration of the gap.

Simple they just have a minimum fee, book whatever days you want.
