=Limitations=
 
If you export inventory you will also need to export rates from Beds24, rates can not be set within the Booking.com extranet.
 
 
 
Booking.com may sometimes withhold the credit card number or CCV unless you specifically request they are sent to you. Contact your Booking.com rep if this is occurring and you require this information.
 
 
 
= Before you Connect =
 
'''Prices'''
 
 
 
When the connection is activated Booking.com will remove all price and availability details on the Booking.com extranet and replace them with the data sent from Beds24. Therefore prices and availability of all rooms must be set up in Beds24 before connecting. 
 
*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]].
 
*Booking.com needs a room price for the maximum number of guest.
 
*If you want to send a single price and a room price you need to ask Booking.com to activate the single price option for you.
 
*Prices for "Extra Person",  "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be exported to Booking.com.  If you need prices for more occupancy levels talk to Booking.com about derived rates or additional rate codes (see chapter "Multiple Rates" further down).
 
 
 
'''Extras and Taxes'''
 
 
 
"Upsell Items" can not be exported to Booking.com.
 
 
 
If required you can enter extras and fees can directly in Booking.com.
 
 
 
'''Bookings'''
 
 
 
Upcoming bookings can be imported.  Booking.com will only send a summary of the booking, not the full information. The full information can still be accessed in the Booking.com extranet. New bookings made after activation will include full booking information.
 
 
 
'''Credit Cards'''
 
 
 
If you want to access credit card details through Beds24 ask Booking.com to only accept bookings with credit card details and always send all details to Beds24.
 
 
 
'''Rooms and room types'''
 
 
 
If you sell rooms individually at another channel or your own web site and want to sell them on Booking.com as a "roomtype" with a quantity of more than one you can [[Combine_individual_rooms_into_a_roomtype|set up virtual rooms]].
 
 
 
'''Dorms'''
 
 
 
Booking.com requires the bed price be sent to them as the room price. Therefore they do not accept a single price for a dorm. Make sure you set  "Booking.com Rate Type"= One Price. If you want to send a single price for other rooms ask Booking.com to set up a "Single" rate id for these.
 
 
 
= Sync Prices, Availability and Bookings =
 
Setting up the connection is a 4 step process:
 
 
 
1) You request a connection on Booking.com extranet- nothing changes you are still bookable according to the prices and inventory you have set in the Booking.com extranet
 
 
 
2) Beds24 accepts your request - nothing changes you are still bookable according to the prices inventory you have set in the Booking.com extranet
 
 
 
Between step 2 and 3 you should map your rooms and rates, check everything and import existing bookings from Booking.com to block the booked dates.
 
 
 
3) You enable the connection in Booking.com - this is when Booking.com removes your inventory and rates and you are temporarily not bookable.
 
 
 
4) Beds24 sends prices and availability to Booking.com. You are bookable again. To send the update immediately click the "Update" buttons in the channel manager settings.
 
 
 
Bookings are not removed from the Booking.com extranet. Existing and new bookings are always visible in the Booking.com extranet.
 
 
 
 
 
==Initiate the connection in Booking.com==
 
Initiate the XML connection from the property menu within the booking.com extranet and then do the Beds24 setup.
 
 
 
1) Login to Booking.com and go to ACCOUNT->CHANNEL MANAGER. If you do not see this option contact Booking.com and tell them you want to use a channel manager
 
 
 
2) Click the Start button and search for BEDS24.
 
 
 
<embedvideo service="youtube">https://youtu.be/VYzWI-PDVYk</embedvideo>
 
 
 
3) Complete the rest of the on screen instructions.
 
 
 
It is possible to select a "one way" or "two way" connection with Booking.com. The normal case is "two way" which will both export inventory to Booking.com and import bookings from Booking.com. If you select any of the "one way" options only one of these actions will be performed and the other must be manually maintained by you.
 
 
 
4) When ready you will receive a notification from Booking.com, go to the Channel Manager menu again and activate the connection.
 
 
 
==Set up and mapping in Beds24==
 
1) Enter your Booking.com Hotel Id into SETTINGS -> CHANNEL MANAGER -> BOOKING.COM  "Hotel ID" setting and '''then scroll to the bottom of the page and click SAVE'''.
 
 
 
[[Image:bookingcom1.png|450px|link=]]
 
[[Media:bookingcom1.png|view large]]
 
 
 
2) Set "Booking Price Import" to either import the room price only or the room price plus unpaid extras (cleaning charges, local taxes etc.)
 
 
 
3) Some Booking.com rate ids can accept a room price plus a single occupancy price on the same rate id. If you have this rate type and want to send the single occupancy price set "Booking.com Rate Type " = "Full + Single". If you do not have this rate type or you are not sure set "Booking.com Rate Type "= "One Price "
 
 
 
 
 
4) Mapping
 
 
 
<embedvideo service="youtube">https://youtu.be/-SbeMMSk8wc</embedvideo>
 
 
 
Map Rooms:
 
*Click on the "Get Code" link next to the room id setting, a list of room ids will be retrieved from Booking.com and displayed.
 
*Choose the Booking.com room you want to map to the Beds24 room and click on it.
 
*When the correct room id has copied to the room id setting, click Save.
 
 
 
[[Image:bookingcomrooms.png|450px|link=]]
 
[[Media:bookingcomrooms.png|view large]]
 
 
 
 
 
Map Rates:
 
*Click on the "Get Code" link next to the rate id setting and a list of rate ids will be retrieved from Booking.com for the saved room id.
 
*Choose the Booking.com 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.

<span class="circle" >Tip</span> ''Click on the "View Actual Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send.''
 
 
 
===Multiple Rates at Booking.com===
 
Booking.com can 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. There are two options:
 
 
 
'''1. Linked/Derived Prices'''
 
 
 
Booking.com can auto calculate different occupancies from one standard rate. This rate is either for the base or for the maximum occupancy of a specific room. The system then automatically adds or subtracts a percentage price per person when the occupancy increases or decreases.
 
 
 
Talk to your Booking.com rep about how to best set this up (either a base rate to add on to or a maximum occupancy rate to subtract from).
 
 
 
 
 
'''2. Multiple Rate Ids'''
 
 
 
Booking.com can set up multiple rate ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24  can send a different price to each Booking.com rate ID.  [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these instructions]].
 
 
 
If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Booking.com to add them.
 
 
 
===Price Multiplier===
 
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because the channel requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number to your hotel id.
 
 
 
For example a hotel id setting '''123456*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for hotel id 123456. (i.e. raised by 23%)
 
Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''123456*0.85''' will send a price 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, for example '''123456*1.23*''' will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
 
 
 
You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
 
 
 
Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
 
 
 
Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR][/]0.85 will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and  send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)
 
 
 
 
 
===Activating in Beds24 and Booking.com===
 
You can view the live availability and prices that will be sent to Booking.com before or after activating using the "View actual data" button.
 
 
 
[[Image:booking13.png|450px|link=]]
 
[[Media:booking13.png|view large]]
 
 
 
 
 
1) Import existing bookings from Booking.com
 
 
 
Make sure the "Bookings" check box for each mapped room is ticked and saved and then click the "Import existing bookings" button.
 
 
 
[[Image:booking15.png|450px|link=]]
 
[[Media:booking15.png|view large]]
 
 
 
If for any reason your existing bookings do not import, the dates could be reopened and resold. To prevent this import the bookings via CSV.
 
 
 
a. Export your bookings as CSV from booking.com
 
b. Go to https://api.beds24.com/csv/putbookingcomcsv.php and import the csv file to Beds24.
 
Follow the instructions on the page carefully so they import to the correct rooms.
 
 
 
If this is also unsuccessful, block the booked dates in the beds24 calendar. Please note that in this case cancellations and modifications will not be imported automatically.
 
 
 
 
 
2) Make sure your inventory is correct in Beds24. Check existing bookings in Booking.com imported and dates blocked by other sources are blocked in Beds24. Dates can be blocked by either entering a booking manually into Beds24 for those dates or using the inventory and override functions on the control panel calendar for those dates. Failure to do this could allow new bookings on dates you are not available. All available dates in Beds24 will be sent to Booking.com as available for new bookings.

[[Media:Booking_com_12.png|view large]]
 
 
 
 
 
3) Enable the connection in Beds24 by ticking "Inventory and Rates" for each mapped room and saving. The "Bookings" checkbox should already be ticked but tick it as well if it is not ticked and bookings should be imported.

+
= Create and manage promotions =
 +
Promotions can be  created, modified and deactivated.
  
Each Booking.com room id is unique and can be mapped to only one room in Beds24. If you enter the same Booking.com room id more than once the room updates will overwrite each other causing inaccurate information being sent to Booking.com
+
[[Booking.com:_Promotions|Click here for more information and setup instructions.]]
  
3) Missing Credit Card Details
+
=View reviews and react to reviews=
 +
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 +
You can handle your Booking.com guest reviews straight from Beds24.
  
When Booking.com sends the credit card number it will be available in the "Payments and Charges" tab of the booking unless it has been stored in a third party system such as Stripe.
+
[[Booking.com:_Synchronise_bookings_prices_availability|Click here for more information and setup instructions.]]
The encoded CVC number is available from the booking notification email sent to the host as the line labelled Security Code. Enter the Security Code value from the email into the booking to view the CVC.
 
  
*If there is no Security Code item in the host notification email, the CVC was not collected or sent for this booking. Please ask Booking.com to collect and send it to Beds24 if you require it.
+
=Import properties from Booking.com to Beds24=
*If credit card details are always missing and you require them, please ask Booking.com to collect and send credit card details to Beds24
+
Use [[Booking.com:_Import_Properties_from_Booking.com_to_Beds24|these instructions]] if you want to import properties from Booking.com to Beds24.
*If Booking.com normally sends credit card details but did not do so for a specific booking and you always want a card as security, please ask Booking.com to exclusively accept bookings with a credit card number.
 
  
4) Daily prices and prices for the Room, Double and Single occupancy can be mapped to Booking.com.
+
=View and action opportunities=
 
+

+
[[Booking.com:_Opportunities|Click here to see your current opportunities.]]
 
 
=== Notes===  
 
1) Credit card details are imported and shown on the "INVOICE" tab of the booking. If not please refer to "Missing Credit Card Details" in Setup Problems above.
 
 
 
2) Multiple Rates - if you want to send multiple prices for a room you must have a rate id for each rate in Booking.com and a matching rate with the price and rate id setup in Beds24. See the Multiple Rates section above for more details.
 
 
 
3) Single occupancy prices must be activated within booking.com if you are sending them to multi person room rates. They can be disabled by setting "Rates" = "Full Only"
 
 
 
4) For bookings imported through the button "Import upcoming bookings" Booking.com will only send a summary of the booking, not the full information. The full information can still be accessed in the Booking.com extranet. New bookings made after activation will include full booking information.
 
 
 
5) Deleting a rate or price in Beds24 will not delete the price in Booking.com. If you need to close a rate at Booking.com, make the rate id unbookable at Beds24, for example by closing the room or removing the price and wait for it to update at Booking.com. Only once the rate has closed at Booking.com it is safe to remove it from Beds24.
 
 
 
You can close a rate at booking.com by making sure there is no price for it on the dates to close in Beds24.
 
As long as the rate has at least a price for 1 day in the next year, all the other dates without prices will be closed.
 
 
 
If you have multiple rates at booking.com, the other rates can continue to be available by giving them prices.
 
 
 
Note that if there is no price on any day at all for a rate, this will not necessarily close the rate, in this case no information will be sent and whatever data is in Booking.com will remain.
 
 
 
You can always see the data being sent with the "View Actual Data" button in the channel manager.
 
 
 
6) Bookings with payment collected by booking.com will show the payment amount collected as a payment in the booking invoice.

This screenshot shows specific settings for bookings from Booking.com:
 
 
 
[[Image:bookingcom_manage.png|800px|link=]]
 
[[Media:bookingcom_manage.png|view large]]
 
 
 
If you want to not allow channel modifications by default you can change the setting for "Allow Channel Modifications" value" in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER.
 
 
 
If you need a different invoice template for the bookings from this channel you can use the [[Invoicees|invoicee]] function. Enter the ID number of the invoicee and all incoming bookings from the channel will be assigned to this invoicee (it does not change existing bookings.

= 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.
 
 
=== Do guests receive a confirmation? ===
 
The channel confirms the booking with the guest. Beds24 will not sent a confirmation message. If you want to send one as well you can set up an Auto Action Email.
 
 
=== How do I modify or cancel a booking?===
 
Bookings coming from a channel should be modified by the channel. Cancelling a booking in Beds24 will not cancel the booking in Booking.com and can cause a double booking. Please ask booking.com or the guest to cancel the booking in Booking.com and the cancellation will be sent to Beds24.
 
 
If for some reason you need to make a change in Beds24 and do not want the channel to override it, you can set "Allow Channel Modifications" = No ("Details" tab of the booking"). If you have changed the room you can set  "Allow Channel Modifications" = All but not room changes.
 
 
=== How do can I access credit card details?===
 
This is how you can [[View_Credit_Card_Details| view credit card details]]. Booking.com may sometimes withhold the credit card number or CCV unless you specifically request they are sent to you. Contact your Booking.com rep if this is occurring and you require this information to always be sent.
 
 
=== How do I add a promotion or special price?===
 
You can set up promotions directly in Beds24 or in the Booking.com extranet.
 
 
=== How do I add extra costs or fees?===
 
Extra Costs, e.g. tax, cleaning fee, service charge can be set directly in the channels extranet.
 
 
=== Can I send different prices for different minimum stays or for different numbers of guests?===
 
Yes. You can do this either with "derived" prices or multiple rates ids. See the "Multiple rates" section of this page.
 
 
=== I have multiple Booking.com hotel ids. How do I set this up? ===
 
The system can handle multiple properties in one account. Each Booking.com hotel requires one property in Beds24.
 
 
=== What to do when I receive an overbooking?===
 
*Check if you are receiving error messages by email or in the potential issues menu. Error messages need to be addressed immediately because they can mean the channel manger is able to make updates.
 
*Entering the same Booking.com room code in multiple rooms in Beds24 can cause overbookings. Check your set up for warnings.
 
 
If you can not see a problem in your set up send us a support ticket with the booking numbers and dates.
 
 
=== Why did a booking not import?===
 
*Check if the room for which you received the booking is properly mapped.
 
 
If you can not see a problem in your set up send us a support ticket with the booking number and the date the booking was made.
 
 
=== Why is the price for the booking wrong?===
 
*A special offer set up in the channel may have reduced the price the channel manager sent.
 
*Your prices are not set up as you expect.
 
 
=== What are contracted rooms? ===
 
This is an agreement between you and the channel where you agree to provide a number of rooms exclusively to that channel. This means you will not be able to sell these rooms directly or on other channels.
 
 
=== What do I do when I have a no show?===
 
To report a no show to Booking.com open the booking and click the button in the "Details" tab.
 
 
=== What do I do when a guest provides an invalid credit card number?===
 
Invalid cards can be reported to Booking.com via a button on the "Details" tab of the booking.
 
 
If you use Stripe you can set in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER to automatically report invalid cards to Booking.com.
 
 
=== I originally set my connection as a one-way connection, now I want a two-way connection===
 
You will need to disconnect your connection with Beds24 in the Booking.com extranet and then initiate the connection with two-way connection.
