• Beds24 can send rates for different minimum stays. If you want to send multiple rates each rate needs to apply for the same number of guests.

Beds24 will send a room price for the number of guests the rate applies for. A price for an extra guest can be set in the channel manager settings.

Note: If you do not send prices from Beds24 guests will be able to book at the "Default Rate" which you have set in the easybooking extranet.

6 Price Multiplier

If you want to add a multiplier to your prices add a * followed by the multiplier number in the "Operator ID" field.

For example 12345678*1.23 will multiply all prices by 1.23 (i.e. raised by 23%). Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. 12345678*0.85 will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)

You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.

For example *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.

To convert the price of bookings imported add a * after the multiplier, for example 12345678*1.23* will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
