== Price Multiplier ==
== Price Multiplier ==
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because of a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by the multiplier number to your hotel Id.
If you want to mark your prices up or down or need currency conversion you can add a multiplier to your prices, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number in the "Multiplier" field
 
For example a property code setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456.
 
You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.


For example *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
Examples:
*'''*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23  (i.e. raised by 23%).
*Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1: '''*0.85''' will send 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).
*To convert the price of bookings imported from the channel add a '''*''' AFTER the multiplier. '''*1.23*''' will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
*For currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
**'''*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
