<embedvideo service="youtube">https://youtu.be/Jd6mFFWhpRE</embedvideo> <span class="" style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> We recommend you let the [https://www.beds24.com/wizard/wizard1.php Setup Wizard ] guide you through the set up process. = Use of properties and rooms ==
Hotels, B&B´s and inns are usually set up as one property with a number of rooms. If you have several independent lodgings e.g. apartments or villas you can still set them up as rooms if it suits your marketing strategy. Each room (which can also be an apartment, house etc) can have its own pricing and booking rules.
If you are using the channel manager we advise to set the booking system up as similar as your booking channels. If your lodgings have different hotel codes for booking.com etc. then they must be setup as different properties in the system.

=Import existing bookings=
After you have created a property you will need to import upcoming bookings.
For Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia we have the option to automatically import all upcoming bookings. We recommend to use this method because for bookings imported directly we will then be able to automatically import changes. These options are available in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB MAPPING / BOOKING.COM / EXPEDIA after you have connected the channels. Use the channel help pages for instructions.
Other bookings can be uploaded as a .csv file.
Via the .csv import can import a maximum of 100 bookings at a time.
The import is designed for upcoming bookings but you can import bookings up to one year in the past.
<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> Carefully check which bookings will be imported. If you have upcoming bookings on Airbnb, Booking.com Expedia make sure you import them directly from the channels and do not duplicate them.
