There are two options for multiple rates:
'''1. Derived Prices'''

'''2. Multiple Rate Codes'''

6) For each room, enter your Booking.com standard rate id in the Beds24 field called rate code and then SAVE. It is normal for Bookingbooking.com to use the same rate code for each room.

7) Make sure all rates to be sent to Booking.com have the Booking.com XML channel checkbox ticked . Make sure all rates to be sent to Booking.com have the channel manager setting enabled, (set to USE NORMAL PRICES to send your normal rate prices or set to USE EXPORT PRICE to send the value in the Export Price field).
If you do not have any rates enabled for Booking.com your rooms will be unavailable on Booking.com

==Multiple rates on Booking.com==
Booking.com can provide multiple rate codes per room. Each rate code can accept one price and optionally (if enabled by booking.com) a single occupancy price.
Enter the code into your Beds24 rates.

9) If you dont already have it make an additional rate in Beds24 to match your additional rate in Booking.com

10) Set up your new rate with the prices and conditions you want to send to Booking.com. The highlighted items are some of the commonly used fields when setting alternate rates.

11) Enter the rate id directly in the Beds24 RATE >> CHANNEL settings. It will override the standard rate id entered in the CHANNEL MANAGER settings. Create as many Beds24 rates as you need and enter the appropriate Booking.com rate id's in each. All rates in which the rate id is left blank will use the standard rate id.

You can view the live availability and prices that will be sent to Booking.com before or after activating using the '''View data for this room''' link.

4) '''When you go live your rates and inventory will be deleted from booking.com and a full reload will occur from Beds24.''' You can use the "Update" button to speed this up. Your bookings will not be deleted from Booking.com but make sure the dates are blocked in Beds24 before going live so they will not be reopened.
6) New bookings made after XML is enabled will import. We can make a request to Booking.com for your last 3 months of bookings, this usually only works if you have been using XML with another channel manager previously, otherwise it is possible to export them as CSV from booking.com and import the csv file to Beds24. There is also a tool to import booking.com bookings from their CSV file at: [https://api.beds24.com/csv/putbookingcomcsv.php
]
==Common Errors==
*If credit card details are always missing please ask Booking.com to send credit card details to Beds24
*If Booking.com normally sends credit card details but did not do so for a specific booking please ask Booking.com to only accept bookings with a credit card number and if required ccv
