'''Multiple Rate Ids using Rates'''
Each Beds24 rate can be mapped to any valid Booking.com rate id. On the CHANNEL tab of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter a Booking.com rate id. If this setting is left blank, the rate code id defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for Booking.com will be used.
If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative Booking.com rate id, enter the Booking.com rate id here.
To define the Booking.com rate id for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons.
For example the following Beds24 rate code 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'''
This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Booking.com rate ids.
If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate code id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Booking.com rate id, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate codesids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.
==Price Multiplier==
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because booking.com requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number to your property codehotel id. (Hotel id)
For example a property code hotel id setting '''123456*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for hotel id 123456. (i.e. raised by 23%)
Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''123456*0.85''' will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)
7) New bookings made after XML is enabled will import to Beds24 automatically.
==Common Errors== '''Beds24 Setup Problems'''==
1) The room is being unexpectedly closed at booking.com
The channel manager will close the room on all dates which do not have a valid price available for sending to booking.com. Make sure you have prices for the complete range of dates you are sending (1 year or 2 years)
2) "Room code is not unique" warning when saving in Beds24.
Each Booking.com room ID id is unique and can be mapped to only one room in Beds24. If you enter the same Booking.com room ID id more than once the room updates will overwrite each other causing inacurate inaccurate information being sent to Booking.com
3) Missing Credit Card Details
4) Daily prices and prices for the Room, Double and Single occupancy can be mapped to Booking.com. These can be mapped to Booking.com rate id's and will use the booking conditions of that rate id. Extra person and extra child prices within a Beds24 Rate and discounts set in a Rates Discount section are not able to export to Booking.com or other channels.
Any errors reported by Booking.com will be emailed to you with the error message as returned by Booking.com.
The error message usually includes information about the date, rate or room with the problem and a brief description.
'''Room is not active'''
Booking.com has not activated the room for selling. Please ask Booking.com to activate it and check the room id code is correct.
'''Rate 123456 cannot be updated via XML'''
