==Notes==
1) Credit card details are imported and shown on the "INVOICE" tab of the booking. If not please refer to "Missing Credit Card Details" in Common Errors above.
2) Multiple Rates - if you want to send multiple prices for a room you must have a rate id for each rate in Booking.com and a matching rate with the price and rate id setup in Beds24. See the Beds24 Multiple Rates section above for more details.
3) There are two ways to stop selling a room when available inventory becomes zero. A zero for availability is the normal way to stop selling, this means if there is a cancellation of an existing booking the room will immediately become re-available for booking at Booking.com. The alternative is to close the room, this means the room will not be automatically re-opened after a cancellation. The room will only be re-opened after the next inventory update from Beds24. This can reduce the chance of further over bookings if the room is already over booked but means the room will be unavailable for re-booking for a short period.
4) Single occupancy prices must be activated within booking.com if you are sending them to multi person room rates.They can be disabled by setting "Rates" = "Full Only"
5) For bookings imported through the button "Import upcoming bookings" Booking.com will only send a summary of the booking, not the full information. The full information can still be accessed in the Booking.com extranet. New bookings made after activation will include full booking information.
6) Deleting a rate or price in Beds24 will not delete the price in Booking.com. If you need to close a rate at Booking.com, make the rate id unbookable at Beds24, for example by closing the room or removing the priceand wait for it to update at Booking.com. Only once the rate has closed at Booking.com it is safe to remove it from Beds24.
==Disconnect==
*Unticking "Inventory and Prices" and "Bookings" will stop Beds24 sending data to Booking.com. Booking.com This will not delete remove the data from Booking.com and it will still be bookable.
*To completely disconnect the channel manager please contact Booking.com and ask them to disconnect you.
