=====Currency=====
=====Price Multiplier=====
VRBO defines the currency used in VRBO. You can use a multiplier if your currency in VRBO is different from your currency in Beds24.  
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.


You can either use a fixed factor for currency conversion or currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
The multiplier applies to all prices and fees which are sent.


Example 1 fixed factor:  '''*1.23*''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent (i.e. raised by 23%).
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%).


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.


Example 2  '''currency conversion''' template variables: '''*[CONVERT:THB-USD]*''' will convert THB to USD to send to VRBO and store bookings converted into THB.  
You can also use '''currency conversion''' template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.


The * at the end will  add an info item '''VRBO_MULT''' to the booking with the conversion rate applied to the imported booking. This info item is used to convert the financial figures back to the values originally sent by VRBO when VRBO check the status of the booking.
For example '''*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.


For example 2 the info code VRBO_MULT will convert the THB in the booking to USD when VRBO read the booking status.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}}  </span> VRBO reads the bookings from Beds24 and calculates their commission from what they read. Therefore you can not convert the imported price back.  
 
 
<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.
 
=====Price Multiplier=====
If you want to add a markup 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 property (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%).
