==Multiple Rates==
There are two options for multiple rates for example to send prices for different occupancies, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.
Multiple rates can be created for each date, for example to send prices for different occupancies, minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.

Alternatively Booking.com can set up multiple rate ids. If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Booking.com to add them.  
Booking.com can set up multiple rate ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different rate or offer to each rate id.
If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Booking.com to add them.

'''Multiple Rate Ids using Rates'''


Each rate id can accept one price and optionally (if enabled by booking.com) a single occupancy price.
Each Beds24 rate can be mapped to any valid Booking.com rate id.
 
On the CHANNEL tab of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter a Booking.com rate id.
Each unique rate id in booking.com will require at least one corresponding rate in Beds24.
If this setting is left blank, the rate id defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for Booking.com will be used.
 
If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative Booking.com rate id, enter the rate id here.
The default '''standard rate''' can be entered in the channel manager settings and this is used as as the default rate id when no other rate id is specified.  


Each individual Beds24 rate can override the default rate id by entering an alternative rate id directly in the rate's channel setting for booking.com.

*Click on the "Get the Booking.com Room and Rate Codes for this Property Code" link to open your mapping codes.  
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.
*Identify your rate id's
Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different Booking.com rate id.
This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to Booking.com.
 
To define the Booking.com rate id for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons.
For example the following Beds24 rate code setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and rate id 44444:
'''11111:22222:33333:4444'''
 
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for booking.com leave the first offer blank and start with a colon.
For example ''':22222:33333:44444'''
 
The settings for daily prices allow each daily price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different Booking.com rate ids
 
 
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''


Multiple rate ids can be entered in the channel manager settings rate id by separating them with colons ''':''' (i.e. 12345678:123456789:1234567810)
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple booking.com rate ids, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them.
When multiple rate ids are specified, Beds24 prices attached to offers 1 through to 4 are applied to the rate ids respectively.
For example ''''12345678,123456789'''
This allows different offers in Beds24 to be mapped to different rates at Booking.com.
The offers may also optionally be shown on the Bes24 booking page or not.


If a single Beds24 rate or daily price should be sent to multiple booking.com rate ids, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them. (i.e. 12345678,123456789,1234567810)
This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Booking.com rate ids.
A common use of this is when a daily price is set to "Do not allow lower prices" and should override multiple booking.com rate ids.
If the comma separated rate ids are set in the channel manager rate code setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Booking.com rate id, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate codes.
All the rate ids should be listed comma separated in the channel manager rate id setting so the daily price can be sent to all of them.
Each individual rate should contain only it's specific booking.com rate id so it is not sent to the correct rate id and not all of them.
