5) If you have multiple rates for a room you can create additional rates in Beds24 and set the additional Rate Id codes directly in the appropriate Beds24 rate. A Rate Id code entered directly in the Beds24 RATE >> CHANNEL settings will override the standard Rate Id code entered in the CHANNEL MANAGER settings. Create as many Beds24 rates as you need and enter the appropriate Booking.com Rate Id codes in each. All rates in which the Rate Code is left blank will use the standard Rate Id.
