== Before you connect ==
'''Prices'''
*We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].
The price sent to Expedia is the price per bed. You will need a Daily Price or Fixed Prices for one guest. If you use Fixed Prices enter your bed price as "room price" as well. If required you can ask Expedia support to add extra person fees directly at their end.
==What you will need==
*Your Expedia hotel id
== Set Up==
'''Step 1 - Select Beds24 as your channel manager in your Expedia account'''
Changes to availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes for settings for example minimum stays, the multiplier or number of rooms will send with the next update. Click on "Update" if you want to push them through instantly.
== Manage Bookings==
===Virtual Credit Cards ===
Virtual cards can be set to be auto charged at the date they become valid. To use this option
4) If the room is for more then 2 guests you need a room price for the number of guests the room can accommodate.
==Common Errors==
'''Unsupported operation. Message cannot be added to the specified message thread ID ec54f39b-4e10-432a-a121-538ac6b39c4e because the reservation was made on an unsupported point-of-sale. '''
You are sending a tax inclusive SELL rate with a price which is not permitted. Either adjust the prices in Beds24 or change your prices in Expedia to be tax exclusive so Expedia will calculate the tax for you.
== Notes ==
Expedia supports two different methods to apply minimum and maximum length of stay restrictions. Arrival based restrictions or Stay Through based restrictions. This is a hotel-level setting in Expedia system, and any Expedia market managers can modify this setting. Please contact Expedia to perform this change.
If you have problems please contact Expedia support.
== FAQ ==
=== Will I receive notifications on new bookings?===
After you activate the channel manager the channel will stop sending notifications. You will receive them from Beds24 instead.
