==Use Daily Prices in combination with rates ==
If you use rates and daily prices together, the system will offer the lowest available price which meets all your rules.
== Mapping channels rate codes ==
To map the rates the connection to the channel needs to be established. The set up instructions for each channel explain the procedure. When the connection is established you will be able to access your codes.
*Click on the "Get Code" link next to the rate id setting and a list of rate ids will be retrieved from the channel.
*Choose the rate id for this room and click on it. This will normally be the standard rate.
*When the correct rate id has copied to the rate id setting, click Save.

Please also see the help the channel help page for specific information for the channel you are setting up.
=== If you have multiple rate codes per room ===
Some channels support more than one price per room for example to send prices for different occupancies, minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.
The capabilities depend on the channel and are explained on the help page for each channel.
==== Multiple rate codes using daily prices ====
Each daily price can be mapped to any active channel rate code. Under "Enable" in the daily price settings (SETTINGS- >PROPERTIES- >ROOMS- >DAILY PRICES then click on "Edit") you can enter a channel rate code.
If this setting is left blank, the rate code defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for the channel will be used.
If the daily price should be mapped to an alternative channel rate code, enter this rate code here.

==== Multiple rate codes using rates====
Each Beds24 rate can be mapped to any active channel rate code. On the CHANNEL tab of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter a channel rate code.
If this setting is left blank, the rate code defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for the channel will be used.
If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative channel rate code, enter this rate code here.

==== Multiple rate codes using offers ====
Note: This method is obsolete. Use the method described under "Multiple rate codes using daily prices"
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room. Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different channel rate code.
To define the channel rate code for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons. For example the following Beds24 rate id setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and offer 4 to rate id 44444:
11111:22222:33333:4444
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for the channel leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon. For example :22222:33333:44444
The settings for daily prices allow each daily price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different rate codes.
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple rate codes at a channel, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them. For example 12345678,123456789
This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple rate codes at ta channel. If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific channel rate code, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.
== Price Multiplier ==
Check the instructions for the channel if this feature is supported. If the instructions do not mention the option to add a multiplier please send us a support ticket (click on HELP in the top right in the channel page in the control panel) and we will see if we can add it.
Note:
The prices will only be sent to the channels you have activated in the channel manger settings.
