This page explains functions which can be used if you work with agents.

1 Special prices and booking page for agents

You can create a special booking page which can be used to sell your property at different prices. This can be used for example if you have agents selling your property.

By creating different prices with and without the agent channel activated you can show different prices depending on the URL which opens the booking page and you will see in the "referrer" field in the booking on which agent page the booking was made. In the "Charges and Payments" tab of the booking you will see name of the agent price which was booked.

1.1 Create an agent page

Go to (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE->PROPERTY BOOKING PAGE->BEHAVIOUR. Agent Booking Page

• Agent Prices = Agent Only
• Enter your "Agent Code" - If you have multiple, then add with a space between

Add the agency code in the format &agent=AGENT_CODE_SETTING to the URL of your booking page.

Example: Your booking page is: https://beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=13208

Your agency code is: Agent

Your agency URL is: https://beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=13208&agent=Agent

If you want to see the bookings created by this Agent in the booking referrer setting, then add &referer=Agent to the URL where Agent is the agent code.

Your agency URL is: https://beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=13208&agent=Agent&referer=Agent

2 Login for agents

Under Account Management (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) you can create log ins with full or restricted access for agents using the agent role.

A sub account with the role "Agent" has access to the CALENDAR only. They can view, add and manage their own bookings. Bookings from other sources only show as blocked dates with no details visible.

To limit the prices for Agents, add the Agent code into Account Management > Manage Account > Account Settings > Agent codes.

Individual fields in the booking can be hidden from the agent account using the "hidesettings" menu for their sub account.

Sub accounts with the agent role can access API functions JSON getBookings and JSON setBooking to view, create or modify their own bookings with the same limitations as the control panel.

Agents can only access rooms in the control panel with a sell priority of 10 or higher
