VRBO Mapping: Difference between revisions

VRBO defines the currency use in VRBO. Use a multiplier as explained below if your currency in VRBO is different from your currency in Beds24.  

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}}  </span>VRBO reads the bookings from Beds24 and calculates their commission from what they read. Do not manually convert the prices imported from VRBO to convert currencies because VRBO will then charge you wrong commission.

If you want to add a multiplier to your prices you can add it to the "Price Multiplier" field in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway.COM > MAPPING.

The multiplier applies to all prices and fees which are sent.

For example, '''*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for the hotel id (i.e. raised by 23%).

Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''*0.85''' will send a price of 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).

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

This will also add an info item '''VRBO_MULT''' to the booking with the conversion rate applied to the imported booking.

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

For example '''*[CONVERT:THB-USD]''' will convert THB to USD to send to VRBO and store bookings in USD.

For example '''*[CONVERT:THB-USD]*''' will convert THB to USD to send to VRBO and store bookings converted into THB. In this case the info code VRBO_MULT will convert the THB in the booking to USD when VRBO read the booking status.
