== Before you connect ==
'''Prices'''
*We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].
*One room price per Ctrip rate plan code can be sent.
*Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the Fixed Prices can not be sent.
*If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value so the price for the full occupancy can send.
'''Extras and Taxes'''
'''Rooms and room types'''
If you sell rooms individually at a another channel like Airbnb or your own web site and want to sell them on Expedia here as a "roomtype" with a quantity of more than one you can [[Combine_individual_rooms_into_a_roomtype|set up virtual roooms]].
=== What you will need ===
=== Set Up===
====Ctrip====
You request a connection with to Beds24 channel manager from your Ctrip market manager. If you do not know who your Ctrip market manager is contact hwywyzz@Ctrip.com and cc [email protected] support instead. After Ctrip has set the connection up you can start setting it up in Beds24.
====Beds24====
*Enter your Ctrip hotel id
*Set the currency. If you are using different currencies on Ctrip and on Beds24 you can use the price multiplier (see below)
*Choose the Payment Collect method. This defines weather whether Ctrip collect the payment from the guest or the guest pays a at the hotel.*Set weather whether breakfast is included in the price or not.

==Prices==
Only one price can be sent per rate code. If you have multiple prices for one rate code which are activated for the channel the system will use the price for the highest occupancy.
Ctrip can set up multiple rate plan codes for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different Beds24 or daily price to each Ctrip plan code. [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these instructions]].
Because Ctrip does not use room codes, we need to know all the rate plan codes that are possible to be booked for each room so we can import bookings to the correct room.
If you have a dorm on Ctrip and you use Fixed Prices set a "Room Price" with the max capacity of 1.
'''Breakfast'''
You can set if breakfast included or not. If you want to offer different prices with and without breakfast map your most common option in the channel manager settings.
You can specify the other price option in the channel manger settings of the daily price Daily Price or the rate Fixed Price by adding this information to the Ctrip rate code.
If you use daily prices you can set the rate code under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (SETTINGS- >PROPERTIES- >ROOMS- >DAILY PRICES then click on "Edit)
If you use rates Fixed Prices go to the "Channels" tab of the rateFixed Price.

=== Price Multiplier ===
For example a hotel id setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456.
Examples:*'''123456*1.23''' will multiply all prices for property 123456 by 1.23 (i.e. raised by 23%).*Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1: '''123456*0.85''' will send 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%) for property 123456.*To convert the price of bookings imported from the channel add a '''*''' AFTER the multiplier. '''123456*1.23*''' will divide the price of the booking by 1.23 for property 123456.*For example currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.**'''123456*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.**'''123456*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] [/]0.85''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Eurosand lower the price by 15%. == Check Connection ==The connection is working if you are not receiving error messages and the display in the channel is correct.
