==== Multiple rate codes using offers ====
 
−
Note: This method is obsolete. Use the method described under "Multiple rate codes using Daily Prices"
 
−
 
−
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room. Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different channel rate code.
 
−
 
−
To define the channel rate code for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons. For example the following Beds24 rate 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
 
−
 
−
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for the channel leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon. For example :22222:33333:44444
 
−
 
−
The settings for Daily Prices allow each Daily Price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different rate codes.
 
  
−
 
−
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''
 
−
 
−
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple rate codes at a channel, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them. For example 12345678,123456789
 
−
 
−
This can be used to allow a Daily Price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple rate codes at ta channel. If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific channel rate code, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and Daily Prices will be mapped to all the specified rate ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.

Prices for OTAs
This page is about the menu PRICES > CHANNEL MAPPING and explains how to set prices for  booking channels

1 Pricing Models

Each channel has its own capabilities and limitation when it comes to prices. There are general pricing models which are used.

Occupancy pricing

The channel supports prices for different occupancies.

  • If you use Fixed Prices 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple Fixed Prices with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. 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 the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price will send.

Examples: Agoda, Expedia

Occupancy and length of stay pricing

A price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 and prices for different length of stay can be sent.

  • If you use Fixed Prices the price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 and prices for different length of stay can be sent.1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple Fixed Prices with different occupancies can send. 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 the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send. Extra person price will send.

Beds24 sends the price for max. 16 guests. If your property accommodates more than 16 guests use "Per Day" pricing with an extra person price.

Examples: Airbnb, VRBO


Per day pricing

Only ONE price can be sent per date. If you have multiple prices activated for a channel with different minimum stays the system will send the price with the lowest minimum stay. 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.

Examples: Airbnb, Booking.com, Ctrip, Homeaway, Hostelworld, HRS, TripadvisorRentals


Derived/Linked Prices

The channel derives form a price sent by Beds24 or links prices. The disadvantage is that you will not be able to control all prices from Beds24.

Examples: Booking.com, Expedia


Some channels support only one pricing models some support more than one. For specific capabilities please check this page.

2 Rate Plans or Rate Codes

Some channels support Rate Plans or Rate Codes (i.e Agoda, Booking.com , Expedia and other hotel-based channels). Often you can have multiple rate plans or rate codes which allows you to sell at different prices.

3 Setting Prices

You can see in PRICES > CHANNEL MAPPING where a price is used. If you need to make changes click on the price to edit it. We recommend you use the "Prices in individual columns" view.

3.1 Using Daily Prices in Beds24 - RECOMMENDED

Each daily price can be used for any combination of channels and your booking page. Use the tick boxes at PRICES > DAILY PRICE RULES to specify which channels the price can be used for.

Channel-Manager-Daily-Prices .png view large

If you have multiple rate codes at a channel, you can map different Daily Prices to each by entering the rate code in each of the Daily Price settings.


Example: Create a Daily Price for your booking page and a different price for one or more channels.

1. Daily Price for your booking page

  • Tick only "Beds24" under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (PRICES > DAILY PRICE RULES then click on "Edit")

2. Daily Price for the channels

  • Tick only the channels for which the price should be used under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (PRICES > DAILY PRICE RULES then click on "Edit")

Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your daily prices there.

By default, daily prices are disabled for all channels. You can disable or enable channels for all prices in a room at the same time. Click on the 'User' icon on the top right and then on 'Account Management (in the old control panel SUB ACCOUNT in the top right) then go to MANAGE ACCOUNT > MANAGE PROPERTIES > MANAGE ROOMS "Channels".

3.2 Using Fixed Prices

Only prices per day can send. In the Summary tab, the setting for "Price per" needs to be set to "Night".

The "Channels" tab of the Fixed Pricesdefines where a Fixed Prices is used.

Channel-Manager-Rates.png view large

  • If you want to use a Fixed Price only on your own website untick all channels.
  • If you want to use a Fixed Price only for channel management untick "Beds24" and "Beds24 Agents".


You have the option to create a special Fixed Pricesfor one or each channel and your web site.

1. Fixed Prices for your website

  • Create a PRICES > FIXED PRICE clicking on "Add Fixed Price"
  • Go to the "Channels" tab and make sure "Beds24" is ticked but not the channels you do not want to use the price for

2. Fixed Prices for the booking channel

  • Create a PRICES > FIXED PRICE clicking on "Add Fixed Price"
  • Only per night prices can be sent to booking channels so make sure "Prices per" is set to "Night"
  • Go to the "Channels" tab of the price and make sure "Beds24" is unticked and the channels you want to send the price to are ticked

Strategy: You can set three different values:

  • Allow lower prices - this is the default and will always apply the lowest price for the guests selection
  • Do not allow lower prices - if you use multiple rate codes this blocks only this rate code
  • Do not allow any other prices - if you use multiple rate codes this blocks all other rate codes

Using the Export Price

The export price can be used to send a different price to channels than used on your booking page.

  • Open the Fixed Prices and go to the "Channels" tab
  • Enter the price you want to send to the channels in the field "Export Price"
  • Set "Channel Management" = "Use Export Price"

Channel-Manager-Export-Price.png view large

When you go to PRICES > CHANNEL MAPPING in the top menu you will see a list of all prices activated for channels.

By default, prices are enabled for all channels. You can disable or enable channels for all prices in a room at the same time. Click on the 'User' icon on the top right and then on 'Account Management (in the old control panel SUB ACCOUNT in the top right) then go to MANAGE ACCOUNT > MANAGE PROPERTIES > MANAGE ROOMS "Channels".

3.3 Use Daily Prices in combination with Fixed Prices

If you use both Daily Prices and Fixed Prices, the system will offer the lowest available price which meets all your rules.


3.4 How to show/send prices for two years

3.5 Mapping channel rate codes

If a channel rate code is entered directly in a Daily Price or a Fixed Prices, it will be used with that price. If the rate code field is left empty in the Daily Price or Rate, the rate code entered in the Channel Manager settings for the channel will be used, in this case the offer number of the Daily Price or Fixed Prices determines which rate code will be used.

To map the rate codes/rate plans the connection to the channel needs to be established. The set up instructions for each channel explain the procedure. When the connection is established you will be able to access your codes.

  • Make sure your property and room codes for the channel are correctly saved.
  • Click on the "Get Code" link next to the rate id setting and a list of rate ids will be retrieved from the channel for that room.
  • Choose the rate id for this room and click on it. This will normally be the standard rate.
  • When the correct rate id has copied to the rate id setting, click Save.


Please also see the help the channel help page for specific information for the channel you are setting up.

3.5.1 If you have multiple Channel rate codes per room

Some channels support more than one price per room for example to send prices for different occupancies, minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.

The capabilities depend on the channel and are explained on the help page for each channel.

3.5.1.1 Multiple rate codes using Daily Prices

Each Daily Price can be mapped to any active channel rate code. Under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (PRICES ->DAILY PRICE RULES then click on "Edit") then select the appropriate rate code from the 'get codes' list. If this setting is left blank, the rate code defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for the channel will be used. If the Daily Price should be mapped to an alternative channel rate code, select the appropriate rate code from the 'get codes' list..

3.5.1.2 Multiple rate codes using Fixed Prices

Each Fixed Prices can be mapped to any active channel rate code. On the CHANNEL tab of each Fixed Prices is a setting to enter a channel rate code, select the appropriate rate code from the 'get codes' list.

If this setting is left blank, the rate code defined in the channel manager settings for the channel will be used. If the Fixed Prices should be mapped to an alternative channel rate code, select the appropriate rate code from the 'get codes' list.

If you have linked a Fixed Prices to be used for other offers or rooms use the selector to choose the room you want to map.


3.6 Price Multiplier

For many channels you can add multiplier to your prices, for example because the channel requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency or you want to add the commission onto your prices.

For some channels we can also convert the prices of bookings imported back to the currency you use in Beds24.

Check the instructions for the channel if this feature is supported. If the instructions do not mention the option to add a multiplier please send us a support ticket (click on HELP in the top right in the channel page in the control panel) and we will see if we can add it.


Channel-manager-multiplier.png view large


The prices will only be sent to the channels you have activated in the channel manager settings.
