Existing bookings are not automatically imported when the connection is established and should be entered into Beds24 manually.

==Multiple ~~Rate Plan Ids~~==

==Multiple Rates==

~~The rate plan id entered in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->EXPEDIA will be used for all rates and daily prices unless a specific rate plan id has been assigned to them.~~

~~'''Method 1 Using Rates'''~~

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.

~~Create~~ a rate ~~for~~ each Expedia rate plan id you have. ~~Map~~ the ~~corresponding~~ Expedia rate plan id in the ~~"Channels"~~ tab of the rate.

'''1. Derived Prices'''

Expedia.com can auto calculate, link and derive rate prices using preset rules. Ask your Expedia.com rep to set this up.

This option means you only need to send one rate from Beds24 to Expedia.com and Expedia.com will auto-calculate the other rate options.

'''2. Multiple Rate Plan Ids'''

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

*Click on the "Get the Expedia.com Room and Rate Codes for this Property Code" link to view all mapping codes for this property.

'''Multiple Rate Ids using Rates'''

Each Beds24 rate can be mapped to any valid Expedia.com rate plan id that is active and not derived or linked. On the CHANNEL tab of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter an Expedia.com rate plan id.

If this setting is left blank, the rate plan id defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for Expedia.com will be used.

If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative Expedia.com rate plan id, enter the Expedia.com rate plan id here.

*Click on the "Get Code" link and choose the Expedia rate plan id for this Beds24 rate.

~~Each Beds24 rate can have a specific Expedia rate plan id assigned to it, which will be used in place of the one set in the channel manager settings.~~

'''Multiple Rate Ids using Offers or Daily Prices'''

Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.

Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different Expedia.com rate plan id.

This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to Expedia.com.

To define the Expedia.com rate plan id for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons.

For example the following Beds24 rate id setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and offer 4 to rate id 44444:

'''11111:22222:33333:4444'''

'''~~Method 2 using Offers or Daily Prices~~'''

If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for Expedia.com leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon.

For example ''':22222:33333:44444'''

~~This can be entered in the channel manager~~ settings ~~and will be used~~ for daily prices ~~and all rates which are not set~~ to a specific rate ~~plan id .~~

The settings for daily prices allow each daily price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different Expedia.com rate ids

~~Daily prices are also exported if allowed by your daily price settings.~~

*Click on the "Get the Expedia Room and Rate Codes for this Property Code" link to ~~open your mapping codes.~~

'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''

*Identify your rate plan ids. "Linked" and "Derived" rate plan ids can not be updated by the channel manager. They are automatically derived from the "Parent Rate"

~~Daily prices for offers can~~ be sent to ~~specific rates by including~~ the ~~additional~~ rate ~~plan id after~~ a ~~colon~~.

If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple Expedia.com rate plan ids, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them.

For example ~~the rate plan id~~ '''~~1111111A:1111112A~~''' ~~will send daily prices from offer 1 to rate plan id 1111111A and daily prices from offer 2 to rate plan id 1111112A.~~

For example ''''12345678,123456789'''

~~Normal rates with no overriding rate code will be set to the first rate plan id 1111111A.~~

~~Rate plan ids~~ can be ~~entered as~~ a comma separated ~~list~~. ~~This~~ will ~~send~~ the ~~same Beds24~~ rate ~~to multiple Expedia rates~~.

This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Expedia.com rate plan ids.

If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Expedia.com rate plan id, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.
