Tick "Hotelbeds" and enter the contract name and sequence for this contract separated by the / symbol. *Daily Prices, scroll down to 'Enable List' Tick "Hotelbeds" and enter the contract name and sequence for this contract separated by the / symbol under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (SETTINGS- >PROPERTIES- >ROOMS- >DAILY PRICES then click on "Edit").

==Price Multiplier==
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices - perhaps because Hotelbds Hotelbeds requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency - add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number to your Contract Name.
For example a Contract Name setting '''ABC*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for Contract Name ABC. (i.e. raised by 23%)
The connection is working if you are not receiving error messages and the display in the channel is correct. If you are receiving error messages check in the "Common Errors" section why you are receiving the error and how to fix it.
