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]].

*Only one price can be sent per Booking.com rate code. If you have multiple prices for one rate code which are activated for Booking.com the system will use the price for the highest occupancy.
*Our connection with Booking.com supports these pricing models:
*Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be exported to Booking.com.
**Per Occupancy Pricing''  - If your Booking.com Rate Type is ''Per Occupancy Pricing'' a price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 can be sent.  
*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. This price will send as room price for the full occupancy. "Extra Person",  "Extra child" can not be sent to Booking.com only the room price/full occupancy price.
***If you use daily prices they daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price will send.
*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.
***If you use rates 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple rates with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rate can not be sent.
* If you need prices for more occupancy levels or for example a non-refundable rate or your rate plan contains meals you can create additional rate plans in [[Booking.com_XML:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]].
 
**2. "Per Day Pricing / Standard" -  If your Booking.com Rate Type is "Per Day Pricing / Standard" you will need a price for the maximum room occupancy. Example: If maximum number of guests is 4 you need a ROOM price for four guests. Prices for 1, 2 or 3 guests are not sent. 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. If you have multiple prices for one rate code which are activated for Booking.com the system will use the price for the highest occupancy. If you want to send an additional  "Single" price Booking.com needs to activate the single price option. After this is done you can set the Booking.com Rate Type to "Per Day Pricing + Single".  If your use RLO (derived) prices where Booking.com calculates prices for different occupancies from the standard price sent from Beds24 they do not allow you to send a single price.  
 
* If you want to offer multiple price options for example a non-refundable rate or your rate plan contains meals you can create additional rate plans in [[Booking.com_XML:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]].

''Did not set price to xx.xx on date xxxx-xx-xx1 for Room xx and occupancy x because the room has a max occupancy of x.''
You are trying to send a price for a number of guests which is higher than the number of guests Booking.com has the room set for. Adjust the maximum number of guests to be the same in Beds24 and Booking.com and if required adjust your prices.
