3) There are two ways to stop selling a room when available inventory becomes zero. A zero for availability is the normal way to stop selling, this means if there is a cancellation of an existing booking the room will immediately become re-available for booking at Booking.com. The alternative is to close the room, this means the room will not be automatically re-opened after a cancellation. The room will only be re-opened after the next inventory update from Beds24. This can reduce the chance of further over bookings if the room is already over booked but means the room will be unavailable for re-booking for a short period.

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.
