To avoid double bookings it is advisable to enter the bookings you already have. You have different options:
*If you are comfortable working with '''.csv''' you can upload bookings into Beds24 using our API (https://api.beds24.com). Bookings must have a checkin between 1 year in the past and 5 years in the future. You will see the instructions when you click on putBookingCSV (https://api.beds24.com/csv/putbookingscsv.php). To use the API you need to allow API access in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT > ACCOUNT ACCESS
You need to connect a payment processor to automatically [[:Category:Payments|collect payments]] in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) >PAYMENTS > PAYMENT COLLECTION. [[Stripe|Stripe]] is our preferred partner which offers the best functionality.
Set up the [[:Category:Channel_Manager| channel manager]] to synchronise your sales channels.
Set the system [[Outgoing_Email|use your own Email address for sending]] in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) > ACCOUNT >OUTGOING EMAIL.
Using your own E-mail address is mandatory if you want to use Auto Actions to automate work flows.
Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE.
You have the option to fully customise the look and the content of your booking page. For an overview of your options please go to [[Customise Booking Page]].
Booking widgets connect your website to your booking page. There is a choice including booking buttons, booking boxes, booking strips, calendars. Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) > BOOKING ENGINE > BOOKING WIDGETS. Choose the widget you want to use. If required you can customise the appearance. If you need help please click on the HELP button on the top rights of the widgets page.
Copy your widget to your website. To install the booking widgets on your web site you will need the ability to edit the HTML of your page. This may involve knowing the passwords for your web server and the ability to transfer your files. Your web hosting service should be able to provide information and assist you with this.
This is how you can check everything is working:
