To export prices you need to enter the Travelocity rate code in the channel manager settings.


To export rates you need to enter the Travelocity rate code in the channel manager settings. Rate codes can also be entered directly in each rate if you have multiple rate codes.
Prices are exported as a room price. Daily prices are also exported if allowed by their settings.
 
Travelocity can set up multiple rate ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24  can send a different price to each 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 the channel to add them.
