  This page is about the menu {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > EMERGING TRAVEL GROUP and explains how the connection with Emerging travel group works and how to set it up.

'''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]].

*If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value  so the price for the full occupancy can send.  

=== Set Up===

Log into the Emerging travel group extranet  using you login and password and go to tab «Hotel», then «General Info where you will  find  «Channel manager» at the bottom of the page

*If the you want to connect the property first time: choose Beds24 from the drop-down menu. Please check the availability of the icon «Channel manager» on the top of the page.

*If you want to change Channel manager: press the button «Deactivate», then choose Beds24 from the drop-down menu;

New Bookings are imported. Cancellations to bookings are also imported.

Existing bookings are not automatically imported when the connection is established and should be entered into Beds24 manually.

Multiple rates can be created for each date, for example to send prices for different occupancies, minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.

This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Emerging travel group rate plan ids.

If the comma separated rate plan ids are defined in the channel manager rate plan id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Emerging travel group rate plan id, each rate will be mapped to it's rate plan id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate plan ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.

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.

Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR][/]0.85 will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and divides the price by 0.85 which raises it by circa 15%

The connection is working if  you are not receiving error messages and the display in the channel is correct. If you are receiving error messages check in the "Common Errors" section why you are receiving the error and how to fix it.
